Translate the subtitles of a YouTube video you own
YouTube's own auto-captions give you a starting point in the spoken language. Getting a second language out of that file is the step that usually gets manual.
You get an SRT you can edit, or a copy of the video with the line already burned in.

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
- Paste the link, pick the target language, download the translated SRT.
- Upload the SRT back to YouTube Studio as a new language track.
- Only translate videos you own or have permission to reuse.

Questions
Will it use YouTube's existing captions?
No, it listens to the audio itself, so it also works on videos with no captions.
Can I translate someone else's video?
Only with the rights to it. The output is yours to publish, the source is not.
