Turkish to English video translator

Yes. Save the English SRT with the same name as the video, in the same folder, and most players load it by themselves; others have a menu to add a subtitle file. Each English subtitle appears while the matching Turkish words are spoken.

Turkish tends to end on the verb and English puts it early, so cutting the English where the Turkish was cut would split ideas oddly. The English is laid out as subtitles after translating, following English sentences and the speaker’s pauses.

In “Balıklar genellikle sulardaki yüksek toksin yoğunlukları nedeniyle ölür”, the verb ölür (die) is the last word; in the English, “Fish usually die because of the high toxin concentrations in the waters”, it is the third. Each subtitle still holds at most 2 lines of about 42 characters.

Well. In our test, Turkish speech was transcribed cleanly and the English made from it rated good. Clear speech helps most; music under the voice or people talking over each other leaves gaps, and a misheard word is translated as heard.

The Turkish subtitles, under Original, follow the same layout rules, so a line such as “Japonya'nın nükleer ajansına göre tesiste” fits on one subtitle line. They’re handy for checking the English against what was said.

NoteOwl understands Turkish on your Mac (see its languages): it imports MP4 videos, transcribes them with unlimited transcription and saves SRT subtitles with each speaker’s name. For Turkish subtitles only, use the Turkish subtitle generator.

Already have Turkish subtitles for the video? The subtitle translator turns them into English and keeps every time as it was.
