FAQ
Video subtitles — common questions
How do I add subtitles to a video on my iPhone?
Open Video Translator, choose a video from your library, pick the language spoken in the video and the language you want the subtitles in, then tap Translate Now. The app listens to the audio, transcribes and translates it, and burns the subtitles into your video. When it finishes, the video is saved in your library, ready to play.
Does Video Translator translate the voice or only add subtitles?
It adds translated subtitles. The original voice stays as it is, and the translation appears as on-screen text burned into the video. It does not dub or change the audio.
Which languages are supported?
22 languages: English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Hindi, Turkish, Russian, Dutch, Polish, Swedish, Indonesian, Vietnamese, Thai, Greek, Hebrew and Ukrainian. You choose both the language spoken in the video and the language of the subtitles.
Is Video Translator free?
The app is free to download and includes one free video translation for videos up to 5 minutes long. Premium is an optional subscription managed through your Apple ID. It adds more translations every day, longer videos, subtitle styling and sharing of translated videos.
Is my video uploaded to a server?
No. Your video file never leaves your device. Only the audio track is sent over an encrypted connection so it can be transcribed and translated, and it is deleted automatically once the subtitles have been generated. The subtitles are added to the video on your iPhone or iPad.
Do I need an internet connection?
Yes. Speech recognition and translation happen online, so you need a connection while a video is being translated. Once it’s done, you can watch your translated videos in your library at any time.
Can I change how the subtitles look?
With Premium you can choose the subtitle color, from six presets or your own custom color, and pick a small, medium or large size, with a live preview before you translate. Free translations use the standard white style.
How accurate are the subtitles?
AI speech recognition works best with clear speech. Background noise, music, strong accents or several people talking at once can affect the result, so it’s worth watching the finished video before you share it.
Does it work on iPad?
Yes. Video Translator runs on iPhone and iPad with iOS or iPadOS 18.0 or later.
