Add Bilingual Subtitles
Bilingual subtitles are essential for helping your videos travel further. They help language learners quickly match meanings across languages, and they also give viewers who speak different languages a consistent viewing experience in the same video—boosting overall reach and sharing efficiency.
In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to:
Create an Add Subtitles project in Add Subtitle
Add bilingual subtitles
Adjust subtitle styles
Creating bilingual subtitles in Add Subtitle is easy: prepare a local video file or a video link, upload it to the cloud, and you’ll get subtitles quickly—then preview and edit everything right in the editor. You can also start anytime via Addsubtitle.
Create a Project
Go to the Projects page and click Add Subtitles.
Click Upload to select a local video (or drag and drop your video into the upload area), or click YouTube Link and paste the video URL.
Click Select Language, set the video’s original language and the target translation language, then click Submit to start uploading.
Add Bilingual Subtitles
After the upload finishes, you’ll be taken to the editor automatically. Here you can preview the video and configure subtitle settings.
In the Subtitles panel, click the subtitle settings at the top of the panel and choose how subtitles display:
Source: show subtitles in the original language
Translation: show subtitles in the translated language
Bilingual: show both original and translated subtitles
Off: turn subtitles off
If the translation result isn’t accurate, we recommend proofreading the source text in the Subtitles panel first, then updating the translation:
Update one line: After editing the source text, click Translate above the corresponding translated subtitle box to refresh that line.
Batch update: After proofreading, click Translate All in the top-left of the Subtitles panel to re-translate everything in one click.
Adjust Subtitle Styles
Once the upload completes and you’re in the editor, you can preview and edit subtitle text.
Click Style on the left, choose a subtitle preset, or click the brush (Edit) icon in the top-right of a style card to customize style settings.
When you’re done, click Export in the top-right corner, choose a resolution and format, and export your video.
