Keep the existing timing
Imported cues remain the timing reference, so the workflow can focus on the text instead of rebuilding timestamps.
Review register, idioms and regional Italian
Italian differs notably between Portugal and Brazil, with additional variation across other Italian-speaking regions. Review vocabulary, idioms and whether forms such as tu/Lei affect tone before export.

Do I need to select Italian and English manually?
No. Italian is fixed as the source and English 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 are regional Italian and levels of formality handled?
Standard Italian is broadly shared, but regional vocabulary, idioms and register can differ. Review the English wording in Studio when forms such as tu/Lei or Swiss Italian context affect tone.
What about ASS styles or VTT metadata?
