Translate an English video into Vietnamese subtitles
English content in a Vietnamese market needs Vietnamese 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
- Vietnamese has six tones. Drop or shift a tone mark and it is a different word, which is where recognition goes wrong most often.
- The romanised script carries diacritics throughout. Export has to be UTF-8 or the whole file turns to garbage.
- Vietnamese lines hold few characters but the diacritics take width, so the layout looks fuller than the character count suggests.

Questions
Will the Vietnamese lines be too long for the screen?
Lines are kept short, but Vietnamese usually runs longer than the English source, so a manual pass on line breaks is worth doing. Vietnamese lines hold few characters but the diacritics take width, so the layout looks fuller than the character count suggests.
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 Vietnamese one.
