Frequently asked questions

Can I translate German subtitles to English?

Yes. Choose Subtitle file and open SRT or VTT. Cue identifiers and timing are kept. Review and edit each translated cue, then save SRT or VTT.

Is German to English translation private and free?

Yes. Text and subtitles are processed on your device with nothing uploaded. The chosen model downloads from this site after you press Translate and can be cached by your browser. No account or payment is needed.

How much text can I translate?

Use up to 20,000 text characters, including subtitle text. The German to English model is about 139 MB plus about 12 MB for the runtime on first use. Speed and memory depend on your device; shorter text works better on phones.

How accurate is the English result?

Review anything important. The model works best on short everyday sentences, and may mishandle names, tone or specialist language. Numbers, links, email addresses and subtitle markup are preserved.
