Translate subtitles to Bosnian

The month names and a few word forms. Our test wrote “16. oktobra 2026.”, “nevjerovatno” for amazing and “doktorka” for a woman doctor, where the Croatian target wrote listopada, nevjerojatno and liječnik. All of it came back in Latin letters.

Viewers in Bosnia and Herzegovina will find it natural, and neighbours across the region read it without effort. If your audience is in Croatia, the Croatian target writes Croatian month names and forms instead.

Yes. Every test line used vi, and the respectful capital V appeared where Bosnian writing uses it: “Molim Vas, sjednite, gospodine.” “Can you send me the report?” became “Možete li mi poslati izvještaj prije petka?”. For a relaxed channel, switch the verbs to ti.

In our test it did. “Our doctor said she would call back” became “Naša doktorka je rekla”: a feminine noun and a feminine verb. A group of men and women takes the masculine plural, as Bosnian grammar does: “Učitelji su bili umorni nakon izleta.”

English often gives a gender only through “she” or “he” several subtitles later. Because neighbouring subtitles are translated together, the Bosnian can carry it back; where it can’t, scan the file for the past-tense endings (rekao, rekla).

Use the Bosnian subtitle generator: it writes subtitles from what is said in a Bosnian video. NoteOwl on a Mac doesn’t transcribe Bosnian, but for English recordings it offers unlimited transcription and saves SRT subtitles with speaker names, ready to translate here.
