Translate an English video into Polish subtitles
English content in a Polish market needs Polish subtitles, and machine captions from the platform rarely produce them cleanly. This does it from the audio, not from YouTube's caption track.
Translation happens after the timing is fixed, which is why the subtitles stay in sync.

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
- Polish has seven cases, so one person's name can appear in three different forms in a single interview.
- Consonant clusters (szcz, prz) get swallowed in fast speech, which is where recognition drops words.
- Polish transcribed into English is usually longer than the source, so subtitles compress rather than map word for word.

Questions
Will the Polish lines be too long for the screen?
Lines are kept short, but Polish usually runs longer than the English source, so a manual pass on line breaks is worth doing. Polish transcribed into English is usually longer than the source, so subtitles compress rather than map word for word.
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 Polish one.
