How to make bilingual subtitles

  1. 1

    Set the spoken language

    In the subtitles step, choose the language you hear in the video.

  2. 2

    Pick a second language

    Below that, choose the language for the second line, for example Spanish or German.

  3. 3

    Download the pack once

    The first time, the app downloads the language pack. After that it translates without internet.

  4. 4

    Check and render

    Both lines appear in the preview. When it looks right, the video is rendered.

What's behind it

17 languages

English, German, Turkish, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Polish, Russian, Arabic, Persian, Hindi, Indonesian, Japanese, Korean and Chinese, in any combination.

On-device translation

Google's ML Kit translates the second line locally. Internet is only needed for the one-time language pack download.

Clear hierarchy

The spoken language is large, the translation smaller below it. The picture stays calm and nobody has to search.

When two languages pay off

  • Companies with international teams or customers abroad
  • Creators with viewers from two language communities
  • Language teachers: original and translation right below each other
  • Real estate, legal, health: explainer videos for clients still learning the language

Do I need internet?

Only once, to download the language pack. After that translation runs offline.

Can I use just one language?

Yes. Choose “None” as second language for classic single-language subtitles.
