How it works

How do you turn English subtitles into Spanish?

Drop the English SRT or VTT on this page; it’s set to translate into Spanish. Press Translate and the subtitles come back in Spanish in a few seconds, each at the moment of the line it replaces. Read them, then download.

  1. 1

    Add the subtitle file

    An SRT or VTT in English or another listed language. English files are recognised by themselves.

  2. 2

    Translate into Spanish

    Consecutive subtitles are translated together, so sentences split across two still read naturally.

  3. 3

    Download the Spanish file

    SRT, VTT, or a bilingual SRT with the English line above the Spanish one.

Do Spanish subtitles take more room than English ones?

Yes, a little. In our test, the Spanish text of a 34-subtitle file ran about 15% longer than the English, and 8 subtitles needed slightly longer lines. Each stayed at its original time, in two lines at most.

Lines aim for 42 characters and break after a comma or between phrases, never inside a word and never right after a short word such as “de”, “la” or “que”. If a line looks crowded in your player, shorten the wording; the timing is already right.

Will the Spanish use tú or usted?

It follows the English. Everyday lines came back with tú (“¿Puedes enviarme el informe?”), while “Please sit down, sir” became “siéntese, señor”. For a formal video, search the file for tú forms and change them where usted fits better.

What changes when English becomes Spanish?

Gender, punctuation and dates. Spanish nouns and adjectives take a gender English leaves out, questions and exclamations open with ¿ and ¡, and dates read “16 de octubre de 2026”. Names stay as written in your file.

Can you send me the report before Friday?
In the Spanish subtitles¿Puedes enviarme el informe antes del viernes?
Our doctor said she would call back tomorrow.
In the Spanish subtitlesNuestra doctora dijo que volvería a llamar mañana.
The meeting is on October 16, 2026, at 3:30 p.m.
In the Spanish subtitlesLa reunión es el 16 de octubre de 2026, a las 3:30 p.m.
The price went up by 6.5 percent to $1,250.
In the Spanish subtitlesEl precio subió un 6.5 por ciento a $1,250.

Should Spanish subtitles use a decimal comma?

It depends on the audience. Our test kept English-style numbers (6.5 and $1,250), as Mexico and Spanish speakers in the US write them. For viewers in Spain, Argentina or Colombia, change them to 6,5 and 1.250 in the downloaded file.

Recording interviews or classes in Spanish?

NoteOwl understands Spanish on your Mac: it transcribes Spanish recordings with unlimited transcription, labels each speaker and saves SRT subtitles with their names. For subtitles of Spanish speech straight from a video, use the Spanish subtitle generator.

FAQ

Questions about Spanish subtitle translation

Is translating subtitles to Spanish free here?

Yes. Translate 3 subtitle files a day into Spanish, up to 30,000 characters of text each, with no account and no watermark.

Which languages can it translate into Spanish from?

English, and every other language in the From list, such as French, Portuguese, Italian, German or Chinese. The page detects the language of the file, or you can choose it.

Is the Spanish for Spain or for Latin America?

It’s neutral Spanish that viewers in both understand. Words that differ by country, such as computadora and ordenador, follow the translation’s choice, so check them if your audience is in one country.

Will the Spanish subtitles stay in sync?

Yes. Every subtitle keeps its original start and end time and its number, so the Spanish file lines up with the video exactly as the original did.

Can I show English and Spanish together?

Yes. Download the bilingual SRT: each subtitle holds the original line and the Spanish line under it, at the same time. It’s useful for learners and for checking the translation.

Is my subtitle file uploaded?

Your browser opens the file. Only the subtitles’ text is sent, in batches, over a secure connection to a cloud AI translation service, which translates it and discards it. NoteOwl stores neither file.
