Translate an SRT file on Windows

An SRT file is plain text with numbered subtitle blocks and timestamps. Translate the dialogue, not the timing lines.

Quick answer: keep a copy of the original SRT, open it in SubPlayer, select the target language, translate, then review names, line breaks and timing while watching the movie.

1. Check that the SRT matches the movie

Play several scenes before translating. If the original text is already early or late, translation preserves that mismatch.

2. Keep the original

Duplicate the SRT so you can compare difficult dialogue.

3. Translate the text

Open the movie or SRT and choose the target language. The text needs internet access; the movie file does not need to be uploaded.

4. Review

5. Save and test

Watch the beginning, middle and end. For a consistent offset, adjust subtitle delay instead of editing every line.
