English to Russian video translator

Yes. Russian ran a little longer than English in our test, so the Russian is cut into its own subtitles after translating: at most 2 lines of up to 42 characters, each on screen long enough to read at 17 characters a second.

“The price went up by 6.5 percent to $1,250” came back as a two-line subtitle: “Цена выросла на 6,5 процента” above “и составила 1250 долларов.” The layout avoids ending a line on a short word such as “в” or “на”, so it usually opens the next one.

Yes. “Can you send me the report before Friday?” became “Можете прислать мне отчёт до пятницы?”, the polite plural. That is right for tutorials, product videos and talks; a casual vlog may want ты. “Sir” became “сэр”: “Садитесь, пожалуйста, сэр”.

The translation writes ё: “отчёт”, not “отчет”. Netflix’s Russian subtitle guide keeps ё for names and words that could be misread, so if your channel follows that style, replace it with е in the downloaded file. Viewers read both without trouble.

Exclamations stay lively and keep Russian punctuation, with no space before the mark: “Wow! That’s amazing!” became “Вау! Это потрясающе!”.

Good. In our test of fifty English sentences, translation into Russian scored above the dedicated translation system we compared it with. Play the video once with the subtitles on before publishing, mainly for names and terms.

NoteOwl understands Russian and English on your Mac: it imports your MP4 videos, transcribes them with unlimited transcription and saves SRT subtitles that name each speaker. If an English SRT exists already, run it through the subtitle translator instead: its times are kept to the millisecond.
