Hello,
I am trying to translate from greek .srt file.The majority is fine but sometimes strange symbols appears instead of greek letters.
Is there any way to change the Unicode of text?
For example:
Äåí åßíáé áëÞèåéá, Ñßêï.
– ÓêÜóå, ðïõôÜíá.
Hi Joh, so just to understand this problem correctly, you see this odd symbols for characters in the webpage itself or when playing the translated file? If it’s during the webpage itself, make sure the file you are trying to upload is in UTF-8 encoding. There are many online tools which can convert your file to this format (if it’s not already in).
If you see this symbols when playing the video itself, then it may be a problem with the Video Player where it’s not recognizing a file format. For this, I would suggest try to use VLC player and see how it goes. I hope this helps.

Hi , Can you please add http://www.reverso.net to the .SRT translation websites It’s the most accurate translation for Arabic Language . thank you very much brother .
Thanks for the suggestion. I will see if they support some API for integration and if so, will try to work on this soon.
Regards, Akbar
thank Akbar . thank you very much .
more more thing Akbar
when you go to yandex the website there’s translation to Arabic here there’s not .
https://translate.yandex.com/?lang=en-ar
That’s odd. When I look at the languages popup-up for Yandex, I can see the Arabic language option (in the first column). I don’t know if this list changes based on user location. Can you try this from any other browser, or VPN and see how it goes?
Regards, Akbar
Sorry Akbar , When I zoomed out the page . I found the Arabic Language . thanks again .
2 hours editing the subtitles . want to save it . the website was done and the browser told me to reload the website
this very tough . can you please Akbar make like a offline version to prevent something like this happening again . thank you for your hard work to help people .
That’s unfortunate, and sorry for the trouble! I can understand the wasted work and effort here. However, at this point, making an offline version will be pretty tricky to develop i.e. as it’s quite different to what technologies are used to build a website. The best I can suggest at the moment is that to try to frequent save/download the subtitles during editing. I know it’s not fun, but will see what I can do in the long run.
Regards, Akbar
the translated text doesn’t show up. Thanks.
Sorry about the issue. What translator you are using? When you say the translated text doesn’t show up, is it that the Translated text column keep showing original language when you choose a new language? If possible try changing the translator and see if that helps e.g. if you are using Yandex, can you try Google or DeepL and see how it goes?
Regards, Akbar
Failure. Language cannot be selected.
Sorry for the trouble. This is when using Google translate, or any other translator? If you can more details and steps, it will help me isolate and fix the issue soon.
Regards, Akbar
Only for Google translate. Google has changed some of the translator and also many translator web pages have crashed and you cannot choose the language.
Interesting! I just tried this and it seems to be working for me. Could be it broken for some regions/users? If you have VPN or proxy setup, can you try with that and see how it goes?
Regards, Akbar
I am sorry. I have discovered that the bug is caused by the “Popup Blocker (strict)” plugin in my Firefox. Thanks for the help and congratulations on this wonderful website that I use almost daily for my .srt. Greetings.
That’s good to know. Thanks for the letting me know and glad that you were able to resolve this.

Hello! I am from Brazil. Our language is Brazilian Portuguese, which is somewhat different from the Portuguese spoken in Portugal. Could you offer translations into Brazilian Portuguese? I hope so. Thanks for your work, really appreciated!
Thanks for the feedback. I can understand the difference, but it looks Google doens’t yet support translation to Brazilian Portuguese. However, both Microsoft and DeepL support these Brazilian variant, but then these are not free to use. You can try one these and see if that works for you?
Regards, Akbar

HI dear Akbar! I wanted to donate and was surprised with your page of donation lol. I have some questionas about your website so how I can write to you more particulary?
Thanks Roman for the feedback. If you have more qeustions, probably email will be better medium? If good with you, please feel free to email me these at “gakbar {at} gmail {dot} com” (replace spaces, @ and . characters accordingly).
Regards, Akbar
Great job, mate.
बहुत शानदार काम, अपने ज़ुबान की सेवा सबसे पहले 🌹
Can’t save the tranlated file at the moment.
So when you click on the Save-As button, nothing happens? What browser you are using? Can you please try with latest Chrome or Firefox? If you have any Anti-Virus software installed, can you temporarily disable that to see if it resolves the issue?
Regards, Akbar
Hello! I can’t upload the SRT file on the web page, display: error message, can’t upload this type of file. My files are SRT files that work in the player. It’s just that the SRT file icon is displayed with a question mark. Is there any file missing from my mobile phone. Please help me to solve this problem, how to display the correct format of SRT on the mobile phone. thank you!
The subtitle upload handler not only checks the file extension (it should be .SRT), but it also checks that content that it matches the SRT subtitles standard. If you think both of these are correct, and yet can’t seems to resolve the issue, can you please send me a copy of the SRT file at my email “gakbar {at} gmail {dot} com” (translate the @ and “.” characters please) for further debugging.
Regards, Akbar
Royal Salute for your Great work.
Hey i droped a eng sub and select yandex translater. Subtitle was made successfully. But then i clicked save as . But this subtitle was not download.I use many browser for downloading this sub . But i failed. Plse solve. They show me invailed format
Sorry for the trouble. From your comments, it looks like something is blocking downloads on your machine. Do you use any Antivirus software? If yes, can you temporarily disable this and try downloading the files again? Also you mentioned error related to “invalid format”. where do you get this error? When you click on the download button?
Regards, Akbar
Hi there, do you have an API for the Jacksparrow compass ?
Not yet, what kind of API you are looking for?
Regards, Akbar
My name is Ibrahim, I am a freelance Arabic translator and a Subtitler and I am here for public interest and I introducing myself to work for you to add subtitle and to translate your work from the English into the Arabic and vice versa to gain viewers and followers for your account in the social network and I can do it faster and everything will be in your hands
Thanks Ibrahim. As you may have realized, all the translation options on my site are machine and free translation, so I’m not sure I can take advantage of your services in this regard. However, the humans translators have their important role, and there are many other online services which offer that on reasonable rates. So you may try your luck there.
Regards, Akbar
Thanks for replying. I browsed both the sites you mentioned and i m going to start on cousera . And regarding games i ve actually learned how to make few mini games on SCRATCH software . As i told i will start on coursea and i believe HTML is the first step . And also with what software do u create mini games (not scratch) ? If i have any questions i will surely ask or mail . Thank you at least i know what to learn now . Regards from my side too .
Glad to know you think you found a suitable course. When I was young, I used to create games in C, Visual Basic and FoxPro. But now there are many more suitable languages. Even the HTML/JavaScript is a good choice to develop something quick and interesting. Good Luck!

Hi,
your tool is phenomenal! Great work!
I don’t want to sound greedy, but would it be possible to create a similar tool which is able to translate XML-files? XML-files are often used as language packs. Very often, not all languages are provided. One could use online-translator-Services (like Google, Bing or Deepl), but there is the problem, that the fieldnames (those in -brackets) should not be translated. So one would need to use a tool, that opens an XML and does this (line by line): read-in the line, save the fieldname (everything in and ) into a temporary file, strip the fieldname, submit the rest of the line to an online-Translation-Service, download the result, add the fieldnames (from temporary file) and save the line – go to the next line.
Just a suggestion.
Thanks for all your work and keep care,
Alex
Thanks Alex for the feedback. Regarding your suggestion, if the XML is kind of some standard subtitle format, then I can look into supporting that soon. If it’s more like generic XML, then I think it would be a side track issue, and may be best suited as its own tool. I will see if I can get some free time soon to develop something similar, but I can’t give any time frame on this one.

Hellow sir . I just read your article on the website and i liked your achievements. Actually u know what i m just a 15 year old kidoo but i still want to discuss about it . I dont know what to do later in my life . The only interest i have is in computer nothing else . I like doing things such as providing info about video formats and helping out my friends . But that wont do . I have learned BASIC programming recently but thats all i have learned . I also like encoding mkv video files but that wont do anything for my future . I read your article so i just want ro know from where to start? What i start learning in computer? My high school has begun from this year and i will have to choose subjects for my future soon . I know that i will be happy only in doing something with computer. I like it . So tell me wgat is the next step? If u need a private chat to tell me ask my social i will give you . Sir,you are so successful in your life and i m sure u wouldn’t mind if you help someone out . Looking forward for reply . Thank you.
Thanks for sharing your story with my Shubh. I think passion is the most important thing in this field for success. If you just love to do your work/job/study, you will never get bored, and can do amazing things without much effort. Since you are still so young, so still have some time to decide on which way to steer for your best future. If you like programming, I would suggest enrolling in slighlty more advance online courses (coursera.org or udacity.com) and keep improiving your skill. You can then go from there in the direction you want. When I was young, I liked to play video games, so I started developing few games as my hobby. This will help you develop really good understnading of how things work in the game, and will improve your problem solving skills a lot. If you are looking for more detailed input or want to keep in touch in private, please feel free to email me “gakbar {at} gmail {dot} com”. My replies may be delayed, but will try to reply back for sure.
