Subtitles & Translation services are available for files once a translation profile has been created. Upon completion of the translation process, subtitles can be downloaded directly from the account system in a variety of formats.
If the source content was uploaded via an integration with Postback Captions enabled, the translation should automatically post back to the hosting video platform.
BEFORE submitting requests for subtitles & translations REVIEW your transcripts and make any necessary edits. Edits made to your transcripts AFTER submitting them for translation WILL NOT propagate to the translated file. Avoid editing the transcript until the subtitles & translation service is complete.
See more information on how to edit a transcript.
Please note that a subtitles & translation order can be made for multiple files at once but only one language at a time.
