How do bilingual subtitles display in a video?

Each subtitle block shows two lines: the original language on top and the translation below (or vice versa). Both lines appear and disappear at the same time, synchronized to the audio.

What language pairs are supported?

You can combine any detected source language with any of 140+ target languages. Popular pairs include English-Spanish, English-Chinese, English-Japanese, and English-French, but any combination is available.

Can I use bilingual subtitles for language learning?

Yes. Bilingual subtitles are one of the most effective tools for language study. You can read the target language while referencing the translation in your native language, helping you build vocabulary and comprehension in context.

What subtitle formats are available for export?

You can export bilingual subtitles as SRT or VTT files, which are compatible with virtually all video players and editing software. You can also export the full transcript as TXT, DOCX, PDF, or CSV.

Does it work with videos that have multiple speakers?

Yes. The AI identifies and labels each speaker in both languages. Speaker names appear in both the original and translated subtitle lines so you always know who is speaking.
