How to Translate Subtitles

Reports.re allows you to quickly translate subtitles from one language to another using the Video Editor. This is helpful for creating multilingual content without redoing subtitles from scratch.

Before You Begin

  • Make sure the target language subtitle job already exists before duplicating the project.
  • Confirm that your original subtitle project (in English) is complete and ready for duplication.
  • After translation, you can manually fine-tune or edit the results for better accuracy.

1. Open the English Subtitle Job

  • Navigate to the "Subtitles" job where the original language (e.g., English) is used.
  • Open the light file manager.
  • At the bottom-left corner, click the "Project" icon.
  • A list of video editor projects will appear for the current subtitle job.

2. Duplicate the Subtitle Project

  • Find the project that contains the English subtitles and click the three-dot menu.
  • Choose "Duplicate".
  • Select "Duplicate to other job".
  • Choose another "Subtitles" job where the target language (e.g., Spanish) is set.
  • Click "Select Job" to confirm.

3. Open the Duplicated Project

  • After duplication, the video editor will automatically open the project in the selected target language job.

4. Translate the Subtitles

  • In the video editor, click the subtitle icon at the top.

Once the subtitle panel appears:

  • Click the "Language" dropdown.
  • Select your desired target language (e.g., Spanish).

Click the "Translate" icon to begin the translation.

5. Wait for Translation to Complete

  • The system will process the translation automatically.
  • Once finished, the subtitles will appear in the selected language.
