Natural, not literal
Context-aware subtitle translation for complete video conversations.
Subtitle translation needs more than isolated sentence conversion. Captionate uses the transcript context and your instructions to keep wording consistent across speakers, scenes, and recurring terms.
Tell the translation how to sound
Add guidance for natural speech, formal delivery, audience age, product terminology, names, or phrases that must stay unchanged.
Review before anything is final
The translated version stays editable in the caption viewer, alongside the media and source project.
One connected workflow
Translate captions while keeping timestamps.
-
Open or import a caption
Use a caption generated from video or audio, or import an existing SRT or VTT file. The source timing stays available throughout translation.
-
Choose language and guidance
Select the target language and optionally describe the tone, terminology, names, or phrasing you want.
-
Review the new version
Open the translated caption, make any local edits, and export it as a subtitle file or captioned video.
You set the direction
Translate subtitles with tone and terminology control.
Optional translation notes give you a practical way to guide an entire caption version. The result remains a draft you can inspect and refine, not a locked export.
- Control tone. Ask for conversational, concise, formal, educational, or audience-specific language.
- Protect terminology. Keep names, brands, game terms, acronyms, or technical wording consistent.
- Preserve language where needed. Tell the model which words or mixed-language expressions should remain unchanged.
- Edit locally afterward. Correct a word or segment without rerunning the full translation.
