Translate English subtitles to Italian
Upload an English subtitle file. The source and target languages are already fixed for this workflow.
A direct English-to-Italian subtitle workflow
Skip language selection and focus on producing natural, readable Italian subtitles from an existing English track.
Keep the existing timing
Imported cues remain the timing reference, so the workflow can focus on text instead of rebuilding timestamps.
Review standard Italian, regional wording and register
Standard Italian is widely shared, but regional vocabulary and idioms still matter. Check whether tu or Lei fits the relationship and whether Swiss Italian context changes terminology.
Export for your platform
Use SRT, VTT, ASS or SBV depending on your editor, player or publishing workflow.

Translate English subtitles to Italian – FAQ
Do I need to select English and Italian manually?
No. English is fixed as the source and Italian as the target on this page.
Will the subtitle timing change?
The imported subtitle cues remain the timing basis. The workflow focuses on translating the subtitle text.
How should regional Italian and formality be handled?
Use standard Italian as the baseline, then review regional vocabulary, idioms and register in Studio. Pay particular attention to tu/Lei and Swiss Italian terminology when the audience or speakers make those distinctions relevant.
What about ASS styles or VTT metadata?
Complex styling, positioning or player-specific metadata should be checked after translation. Keep the original file as a reference when these details matter.
