Thanks for the feedback and sharing the issue with details. I assume you are using Google translator? If yes, I can’t seem to reproduce this issue in quick try. Would it be possible for you to email me (address at bottom of the page) the top of subtitles file for further investigation?
Hello and thanks for the fantastic work. I have issues with COLOR subtitles we use in Italy.
Some of the subtitles, some with single line, some with double line are not translated and
just copied to the new subtile in the original language (italian).
Translation would be from Italian to Finnish. I report 5 lines

00:05:48,240 –> 00:05:52,760
– Hai preso le medicine ?
– Sì, le ho prese. – Andiamo .

00:05:52,800 –> 00:05:55,840
Di qua, giusto ?
53
00:05:55,880 –> 00:05:59,160
– Kuinka ikävöin Torinoa!
– Etkö ollut onnellinen Pariisissa?
54
00:05:59,200 –> 00:06:01,680
Kyllä, tietysti, mutta kotimme on täällä.
In this example subtitle 51 and 52 are still in Italian language
I hope you solve this bug. Thank you.
When using Google Translate (Single or bulk translation) the % jumps to 99% fairly quickly, and remains there until full translation is done. The text to translate is no longer scrolling through the window, as it did before. With this you have no idea how long the translation(s) will take. When doing bulk translation, the only indication it is moving forward is jumping from 1of3 to 2of3 and 3of3. Eventually the save button is activated and the text is translated as expected.
Running the translation on all latest browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Opera, etc.), all have the same issue.
Please fix the running status of the translation.
Thanks for the feedback. Please note that with recent optimisations, I’m no longer linearly translating rows during translations i.e. as multiple rows are now translated in the parallel – thus it doesn’t make much sense in scrolling the page as rows may be translated out of the linear order.
That said, I was able to reproduce that translation getting stuck at 99% at and have fixed that too – plus with even more optimisation of the translation speed. Please try this again after clearing your browser cache. If still run into any issues, please let me know.
If you are using Google translator, you don’t have to pay anything. It’s totally free. For the DeepL and OpenAI, you have to pay for translation (as their translation API is not free). You can read more about this here: https://blog.syedgakbar.com/2021/01/01/deepl-subtitles-translation/
Maube you need make a paid version of Google translate, that can be faster then free ? I would pay for this function if translation to 30 languages was 30 sec in paid version , because now its take 5-10 minutes
Okay, I will think about supporting paid Google Translation API. But I have recently applied some really good optimisation for the Google Free translator too, which I don’t think are that easy to beat even with the paid API option. Please note that the main delay in the translation process is the API call to the translator, which uses an AI engine/model to translate the text. So unless we do some crazy parallelisation of work (which though possible might not be feasible with my current hosting provider), this is best I think I can offer at the moment.
Just for comparison, you can try the paid DeepL or Microsoft translators on my website and see if you like the throughput and/or quality?
Hello! Maybe you must sell packs with 10 or 20 or 30 or 50 threads by extra prices, i see now its 5 threads i think. Maybe a dedicated server pack, to translate in 100 threads almost instantly, but i think it’s difficult to build in code. Great work btw , i like it )

You are right. Clever detective work Kim!
As you may have figured out already, implementing more threads will definitely require high-end server with more power and thus will require me to upgrade my hosting plan. It’s probably time to do that anyway, so this is definitely in my to-do list to move to dedicated high end node for hosting my website.
Another important limitation is that OpenAI also impose a limits of a request from a single source it allows per minute. Again, this can be worked around if I purchase multiple API accounts and build a multiple node cluster. All of this is quite possible, but not sure the demand is there yet 🙂
Thanks for reporting this to me. It looks like I broke this when trying to optimise the Google translator speed. The good news is that this issue is now resolved and you should also notice faster translations for Google and Yandex options.
Hi Akbar! Is there a consensus on which Translation tool is best – Google, Yandex, DeepL, Microsoft, or OpenAI GPT? I have a number of small (1-5minute) videos I need to translate to German, French, Polish, Dutch, Norwegian, Italian, Spanish, Slovak, and Czech. Hoping there was direction on which would be the best tool to start with?
It’s unfortunately not a simple answer. It highly depends on the translation language pair. The short answer is to try it yourself using the Free/Demo mode.
I have now added a FAQ section explaining this in a bit more details.
Hello Akbar–thanks for your admirable work. We have a problem, because our longer files are not translating through to the end but are remaining in English. Todays’s one was 1:48:46 and it stopped translating at 1:18:35. Two days ago, it was stopping at around 1:07. Any suggestions?
Thanks for reporting the issue Donald! I think I have now isolated and fixed the problem. Please give this a try and let me know if you still experience any problems.
BTW, I applied some more optimisations on Google translator, so you should hopefully get results faster now.
Sorry the previous comment had the color mangled. I write it again changing the angled
parenthesis to simple parenthesis()

now not working at all
Sorry for the inconvenience. Is it the Google translator which is not working? Do you get any particular error?
Regards, Akbar
There’s no Filipino language in Chat-GPT section🙁
Please update
Can you please try to clear your browser cache or open the browser in Incognito mode to make sure you are not fetching cached data.
Regards, Akbar
It is not translated in bulk!
It only translates the first subtitle, the others are the same.
Can you check?
