Translate subtitles to Korean

Korean needs about half the characters of English, but a line holds only 16 of them against 42, so on screen it takes about a third more room. With the timing fixed, a long subtitle becomes two full lines, never three.

In our check of ten translated test sentences, eight needed two lines. The date sentence could not fit two lines of the usual length, so it took two slightly longer ones: “회의는 2026년 10월 16일” over “오후 3시 30분에 있습니다.”. Trim words there if your player crowds them.

Yes. Korean puts spaces between its words, and the page breaks only at those spaces, so a particle such as 과 or 가 stays attached, even to a name in Latin letters: “Dr. Patel과 Maria Lopez가”. A short phrase can still be divided, though.

One test line read “선생님들은 여행” on top and “후에 지쳐 있었습니다.” below, splitting 여행 후에, “after the trip”. Moving 여행 down a line in the SRT reads more naturally and changes no time.

Polite, with honorifics. Requests came back as “보내주실 수 있나요?” and “you know” as “아시다시피”. Our short test mixed the softer 해요 endings with formal 합니다 ones, while a longer test used 합니다 throughout. Pick one for your video and make the file match.

NoteOwl understands Korean on your Mac: it transcribes Korean recordings with unlimited transcription, tells the speakers apart and saves SRT subtitles with their names. For subtitles of Korean speech without a translation step, use the Korean subtitle generator.
