Translate subtitles to Azerbaijani

Siz, the polite form, in every test line: “göndərə bilərsinizmi?” for “Can you send…?”, “Bilirsiniz” for “you know”, and “Lütfən, oturun, cənab” for “Please sit down, sir”. For a casual channel, switch to sən where it should sound closer.

Weekdays and deadlines first. Azerbaijani calls Thursday “Cümə axşamı”, the eve of Friday, so compare every day name with the original. Then check names and figures against the original before publishing.

Yes, near enough: Azerbaijani ran about the same length as English in our test. Long words built from suffixes, such as bilərsinizmi or keçiriləcək, are never split; the layout breaks only between words, two lines at most, each subtitle at its original time.

Each line aims for 42 characters; a translation that runs long gets two fuller lines rather than a third.

Close to the dedicated translation system we compared it with: just under it, within the margin we set. Azerbaijani has no he or she, so gender rarely needs fixing; the useful checks are weekdays, names and whether siz suits your viewers.

NoteOwl on a Mac understands English, Russian and Turkish, and transcribes recordings in them with unlimited transcription, saving SRT subtitles with speaker names for translating here. It doesn’t transcribe Azerbaijani; for Azerbaijani speech, use the Azerbaijani subtitle generator.
