Ukrainian to English video translator

This Ukrainian to English video translator puts English subtitles on a Ukrainian video: it transcribes the Ukrainian speech, translates every line, and times the English to appear as each line is spoken, so English-speaking viewers can follow along.

How it works

How do you add English subtitles to a Ukrainian video?

To translate a Ukrainian video to English, drop the file on this page. Your browser extracts the sound, the Ukrainian is transcribed and translated, and the English is cut into subtitles timed to the speaker. Download the English SRT for your player or for an upload.

  1. 1

    Choose the Ukrainian video

    MP4, MOV, MKV or WebM, from a phone, a news site download or a course.

    Transcribed in Ukrainian, translated, timed. Up to 30 minutes of each video.

  3. 3

    Get the subtitles

    English SRT or VTT; Original has Ukrainian subtitles with the same timing.

How do English subtitles keep up with a Ukrainian speaker?

Each one appears as the matching Ukrainian words begin and stays up long enough to read, at 17 characters a second, for 1 to 7 seconds. The English is divided into subtitles after it is translated, so it reads as English sentences of at most 2 lines.

How good are English subtitles from Ukrainian speech?

Strong. Ukrainian was transcribed cleanly in our test, and a whole Ukrainian recording translated into English scored among the better languages we tried. Plain statements come back plain, as in these two test sentences.

Часто риби гинуть у зв'язку з високою концентрацією токсинів у воді.
EnglishFish often die due to high concentrations of toxins in the water.
Бразилець зазнав серйозної травми голови після аварії на Угорському Гран-Прі 2009.
EnglishThe Brazilian suffered a serious head injury after a crash at the 2009 Hungarian Grand Prix.

What happens to brand names spelled in Cyrillic?

In our test, a well-known one returned to its usual spelling. The Ukrainian wrote the theme park as “Сикс Флеґс Сент-Луїс”, and the English subtitle said “Six Flags St. Louis amusement park”, adding the “amusement park” that “парку розваг” gave. Lesser-known names come back by sound.

Are units and directions put into English?

Yes. “165 км/год” became “165 km/h”, “105 миль на годину” stayed “105 miles per hour”, and “на північний захід” became “to the northwest”. Only the abbreviations changed, never the values, so the numbers on screen match what was said.

Recording Ukrainian videos of your own?

NoteOwl understands Ukrainian on your Mac: it imports MP4 videos, transcribes them with unlimited transcription and saves SRT subtitles with each speaker’s name. For Ukrainian subtitles of Ukrainian speech, with no translation, use the Ukrainian subtitle generator.

FAQ

Questions about English subtitles for Ukrainian videos

Is the Ukrainian to English video translator free?

Yes. 3 videos a day, each up to 30 minutes, with no account and no watermark. You can download both the English and the Ukrainian subtitles.

Can I watch a Ukrainian video with these subtitles at home?

Yes. Put the English SRT in the same folder as the video and open the video in a player such as VLC, then turn the subtitle track on.

What if the people in the video switch to Russian?

This page hears everything as Ukrainian. For a video that moves between Ukrainian and Russian, use the main video translator with the spoken language on Detect automatically.

Are captions or signs in the picture translated?

No. Only the speech is used; the picture is never read, so on-screen Ukrainian text stays as it is.

Does it replace the Ukrainian voices?

No. It writes English subtitles and leaves the video and its sound unchanged.

Is my video uploaded?

No. Your browser takes the sound out of the video; short pieces of it go to a cloud AI transcription service and the Ukrainian text to a cloud AI translation service, which both discard it. The picture is never sent.
