How good are English subtitles from Catalan?
Strong. Catalan was transcribed cleanly in our test, and its speech came out strong in English, with sentences that read naturally: “L’atac va sobrecarregar les relacions entre l’Índia i el Pakistan” became “The attack strained relations between India and Pakistan”.

Are English subtitles shorter than Catalan ones?
Usually a little. Catalan took about a tenth more characters than English in our English to Catalan test, so the English of the same speech tends to sit comfortably on screen: at most 2 lines of about 42 characters, each up for 1 to 7 seconds.
What should you check before publishing?
Words with two meanings, and names. Catalan banda is both a band and a side, and one test line read it as “side”. English names said in Catalan are written by sound first (Layton came back as Leighton), and a misheard word stays misheard.
Can viewers have Catalan and English subtitles?
Yes. Download the English, then switch to Original for Catalan subtitles on the same timing, and publish both as separate tracks. Learners of Catalan can watch in one language and check the other.
Publishing in Spanish or English too?
NoteOwl understands Spanish and English on your Mac, though not Catalan: it imports MP4 video, transcribes it with unlimited transcription and saves SRT subtitles with speaker names. For Catalan subtitles of Catalan speech, use the Catalan subtitle generator.
FAQ
Questions about English subtitles for Catalan videos
Is the Catalan to English video translator free?
Yes. 3 videos a day, up to 30 minutes of each, with no account and no watermark; English and Catalan subtitles are both included.
Does it dub the video into English?
No. It makes English subtitles; the video and its Catalan sound are left exactly as they were.
What if the video switches between Catalan and Spanish?
This page hears it all as Catalan. For a video that moves between the two, use the main video translator with Detect automatically.
How do I add the English subtitles on YouTube?
In YouTube Studio, open Subtitles, choose the video, add English and upload the SRT with timing. Viewers can then pick English from the subtitle menu.
Is my video uploaded?
No. Your browser takes the sound out of the video; short pieces go to a cloud AI transcription service and the Catalan text to a cloud AI translation service, each discarding what it was sent. The picture is never sent.
Do the subtitles name the speakers?
No. Only the spoken words appear.
