The Secret to Quick, Hassle-Free Captions Translation
If you want to quickly add subtitles to your videos, this method is your best bet. First things first, you’ll need to download the automatic captions that YouTube generates for your video. These are the captions that appear almost like magic once you upload your video to the platform. No need to manually input anything from scratch!
Getting Started with Captions
Here’s what you need to do:
1. Download Your Captions
Look for the download option labeled as SRT or SBV file format. This may sound technical, but it’s quite simple.
2. Text Editing for Easy Translation
Open the files with a text editor software of your choice. If you’re on Mac, you can easily do this by clicking on “Open with Text”.
Translating with Ease
Once you have your captions file:
1. Scroll and Copy
Scan through your captions, and select the text you want to translate.
2. Polish the Translated Text
Paste the copied text into your translation tool of choice. I recommend using DeepL for your translation tasks. Remember, the translation might not be perfect, so feel free to tweak it for better accuracy.

Finalizing Your Subtitles
After you’ve polished your translation, it’s time to finalize it:
1. Paste Back the Translation
Transfer the translated captions back into your subtitles file.
2. Save and Upload
Save your changes and get ready to upload.
Bringing Multilingual Captions to Life
Adding more languages is just as simple:
- Select your desired language from the options (for instance, Arabic).
- Click on the pencil icon to edit.
- Upload your translated file with its existing timings, and voilà!
This approach is not only efficient but also cuts down the complexity of dealing with cumbersome translation apps. It’s a straightforward and time-saving alternative.
You can also reach more audiences with multilingual content. Read on the best ways to leverage multilingual marketing for your brand or business here.
