Automatically translate subtitles with Subtitle Edit

Translate subtitles automatically tutorial. I’m going to explain to you how to automatically create subtitles with Subtitle Edit. You do need English subtitles for this. Or an another foreign subtitles. These English subtitles can often be found. Or it is already present in your movie file. If the subtitles are not yet available, see Subtitles website overview.

Automatic translation takes quite some time.

Open the zip file. And then choose the Setup.exe

Click Next.

Again on Next.

Press Next.

Check the box Link srt files to subtitle edit.

Click Next.

Click Finish.

The Subtitle Edit program is now installed on your computer.

Remove the deaf and hard of hearing in the subtitles

With English subtitling, it often happens that there are lines of text for the deaf and hard of hearing. Like, for example. Pete opens the door that creaks.

We obviously want these lines to be removed before it is translated. Because translation takes quite some time. Even if you translate it automatically.

Click File and then Open. Look up the English SRT file. You can download it from well-known websites. See download srt files.

Then go to Tools. And choose Remove text for hearing impaired…

If something is found Click Apply and then OK.

In my case nothing is found.

Automatically translate subtitles with Google Translate

Now we can automatically translate the subtitles.

At the top of the menu, click Auto Translate. And then on again Auto Translate.

Check whether From is set to English and To is set to your foreign language.

Press on Translate. This may take some time. Before the translation is done. It seems like the program crashes. But this is not the case. You have to have patience.
