Translate an English video into Arabic subtitles
English content in a Arabic market needs Arabic subtitles, and machine captions from the platform rarely produce them cleanly. This does it from the audio, not from YouTube's caption track.
The timing comes from the audio, so a line lands where it is actually spoken.

What happens to your video
- Upload the file or paste a public link. Phone footage (HEVC/MOV) is read as it comes off the phone.
- The audio is transcribed first, with word-level timing, so every cue starts where speech starts.
- Each line is translated on its own. Timecodes are copied through and never rewritten.
- Download the SRT, or a copy of the video with the subtitles burned in at the original resolution.
Notes on the audio
- Arabic runs right to left, and mixing Latin text or numbers into a cue moves punctuation to the wrong end of the line.
- Modern Standard Arabic and the regional dialect differ enough that a single video often contains both.
- Right-aligned Arabic reads more naturally, but most players default to centred or left-aligned cues.

Questions
Will the Arabic lines be too long for the screen?
Lines are kept short, but Arabic usually runs longer than the English source, so a manual pass on line breaks is worth doing. Right-aligned Arabic reads more naturally, but most players default to centred or left-aligned cues.
Does it use YouTube's auto-captions?
No. It transcribes the audio itself, so it also works for files with no captions at all.
Can I get both languages?
Yes, bilingual output keeps the English line above the Arabic one.
