How are times written in Dutch subtitles?
Mostly the Dutch way, with one habit to check: “8:46 a. m.” became “8:46 uur”, with a colon, where Dutch usually writes “8.46 uur”, as the human translation did. Speeds came out in Dutch units: “105 mijl per uur (165 km/u)”.

| 105 millas por hora (165 km/h) | 105 mijl per uur (165 km/u) | 105 mijl per uur (165 km/u) |
| en el año 2009 | in het jaar 2009 | in 2009 |
Do Dutch subtitles fit in the same space?
Yes, slightly shorter: ten Spanish test sentences came to 1,062 characters, the Dutch to 1,031. Long Dutch compounds take a line quickly, as in “Het bedrijf heeft als doel zijn / inkomstenbronnen te diversifiëren”, so each subtitle holds 2 lines of up to 42 characters and no more.
Which Dutch words deserve a second look?
Literal echoes of the Spanish. “Expulsaron a Piquet Jr.” became “werd Piquet Jr. verwijderd” (was removed), where a Dutch writer said “ontslagen” (fired), and “en el año 2009” became “in het jaar 2009” rather than the plain “in 2009”.
Both read as Dutch; they just sound translated. A quick read with the video playing is enough to smooth them out.
Should the Dutch say je or u?
It depends on your viewers. From English, the Dutch route used je in everyday lines and u for “sir”. Our Spanish test lines addressed nobody, so if your video talks to viewers, check that je or u matches the tone you want.

Yes. Subtitle 3 videos a day, 30 minutes each at most, with no sign-up. Dutch SRT and VTT, the Spanish subtitles and the text all download.
Does it make a Dutch voice-over?
No. You get Dutch subtitles; your video’s picture and sound stay exactly as they were.
How do I add the Dutch subtitles on YouTube?
In YouTube Studio, open Subtitles, choose the video, add Dutch and upload the SRT with timing. Dutch-speaking viewers then find it in the subtitle menu.
Can I keep the Spanish subtitles as well?

What is sent from my computer?
Short pieces of the video’s sound, to a cloud AI transcription service, and the Spanish text, to a cloud AI translation service. Both discard what they receive. The picture is never sent and NoteOwl stores nothing.
