Sorry for the trouble. Is this for any particular file or you experiencing this for all the files you tried recently? If you can send me a sample file with which you are having trouble, I can look into this promptly.
Hello Akbar, I cannot upload money because Paypal is banned in Turkey. Is there another payment method for opengpt translation? Or if you introduce a new payment, I will have a lot of work to do regarding subtitle translation.
Hi Muro, thanks for the input and sorry for the inconvenience. I’m working on supporting other payment methods soon, but in the mean time, you can try the Crypto Balance load feature.
Hi Akbar,this is kim from Malaysia. I would translate srt file to English version. However, I cannot top up with Paypal and credit card because Malaysia bank card are CSV. In the payment method of Paypal it still require debit/credit card even I have balance in it.
Sorry that I dont have any crypto account. Is there way can I pay you or top up? Please advise. Thank you.
Sorry for the trouble Kim! In this case, can you send me the payment via PayPal balance? If that works, I can share with you me PayPal Business Account name and you can transfer to that account. I will then manually top-up the balance in your account.
Can’t translate it all, the old words are still there. The untranslatable text is then converted to English, wasting money just to receive an incomplete translation
Sorry for the trouble there. In this case, looks like the translation failed because the content doesn’t comply with OpenAI policies. Please note that they have very strict requirement on what content can be translated using their services and any mature or violence content is not translated.
However, if the translation fails due to any content policy violation or any other server error, you are never charged for the amount – which looks like the case here as well. You credit card was never charged the amount. I hope this clarifies the situation.
Hi, I have a movie SRT format subtitle file in Hebrew I need translated to English. This file plays file in the MVP player displaying real Hebrew characters. I opened the .SRT file in Windows with Notepad and it does contain the expected timecodes and garbled characters such as these:
1
00:00:25,207 –> 00:00:32,907
äáéà åúé÷ï: îòøëú
ñåðëøï ò”é âãòåï
NotePad shows in the bottom right, “Windows (CRLF) ANSI”. I have “Subtitle Edit version 4.0.1. So, I decided to open the file with it, and it displays actual Hebrew characters instead of the garbled characters shown above from NotePad. Also is states the encoding is “1255: Hebrew (Windows)”.
I uploaded the file to your translator and 84 kb seemed to upload BUT NO CONTENT displays in your translator. I selected English output with the default Google translation. I processed for a second and said 100% done, success! But all I got was a file with timecodes and zero translation.
So, in NotePad I did a “Save As” and changed the encoding from ANSI to UTF-8 and uploaded this to your translator. I played the movie in MVP player and the UTF-8 file shows the garbled characters instead of real Hebrew characters, but now your translator loads text into BOTH columns. They are basically the same garbled text NotePad displays, not real Hebrew characters. I selected English as output language with the default Google translator. No English preview showed. I hit translate and after a while it failed saying more than 50% could not be translated, to verify my output language was correct or etc. but no translation ever showed on screen. No file could be saved as the translation failed.
Please, guide me how to successfully prepare (format and encoding etc.) the Hebrew input subtitle file to obtain an English subtitle.
Thanks for providing detailed instruction and examples.
From your description, it appears that the file encoding is Windows ANSI and it must be converted to UTF-8. Please note that I do have some basic encoding converter, but it doesn’t work very well with all encoding. A to-do item for myself.
Hey, I just wanted to let you know that your website is incredibly helpful, seriously. However, there are a few issues I encountered here. Translating using Yandex always fails 50%, and I’ve tried on different devices and browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Opera), but it still doesn’t work. I think there might be something wrong with Yandex. I hope you can resolve this issue. Thanks again for creating this website.
Hi, thanks for trying this and sharing your feedback. I have noticed myself that sometime Yandex translator stops working and it’s mostly due to either the region limit or translation limit per page. If you are trying some large subtitle file, and it stops in the middle, it may be something beyond my control. But if you experience this on some small/short subtitle files too, then it may be a different problem. I was not able to reproducer either in my quick testing, so if you can share some more details and/or share the subtitle file with which you are having problem, I can look more into this.
I will try reproducing this, but I would also suggest trying this with IDM extension disabled and see if that helps? If the problem persists, please try using any other latest browser and see if that helps.
Hi. Is it possible in future versions to implement the option to be able to choose/define original language? For example if you have a original file in french, when translation to english, some words will be overlooked by the auto-detect language (like “hein”, “chapitre” etc)
Yeah, I have experienced this myself. However, it’s not possible due to the way Google Translation website widget works. I will see if there is some easy workaround for this, but don’t expect some quick fix here.
First of all: GREAT WORK! Sorry the bad English. I use this site a lot of time, and there’s only “Portuguese” (this “Portuguese” in the list is Portuguese from Portugal). There’s some way you to put the “Brazilian Portuguese” also? Portuguese from Portugal and Portuguese Brazilian have some similarities, but are completely different languages. They can’t understand us, and we can’t understand them in most times. One more time, THANKS for your cataclysmic contribution for the internet world.
Thanks for the feedback and I’m glad you are finding the tool mostly of the help. I assume you are talking about the Google Translator? If yes, the languages choice list is coming from Google and it’s not in my control. Once Google Translation widget start supporting the Brazilian Portuguese, I will try to enable this ASAP.
As you may already know, other translators like DeepL and OpenAI already support Brazilian Portuguese, but are unfortunately not free.
Hi Akbar,
New problem. Google don’t traslate every lines on the originaltext. Thanks.
Sorry for the trouble. Is this for any particular file or you experiencing this for all the files you tried recently? If you can send me a sample file with which you are having trouble, I can look into this promptly.

Hi Luis,
Thanks for providing detailed instruction and examples.
From your description, it appears that the file encoding is Windows ANSI and it must be converted to UTF-8. Please note that I do have some basic encoding converter, but it doesn’t work very well with all encoding. A to-do item for myself.
For the time being, you can either convert the file encoding to UTF-8 using either NotePad++ or from using some online tools like below:

I hope this helps.
