You can’t save drafts on my website, but you can download draft by clicking the “In-progress” button at the top-right corner. It should download a file which is special format to let you resume editing. All you need to do is re-upload that saved file to continue editing from where you left last time. I hope this help.
Sorry for the trouble. It’s a known issue with LLM models like GPT or Gemini. They sometime ignore the structure prompt and mix-up the lines. Though I have some workarounds in place to detect and auto fix these, it’s not 100% safe due to the context complexity. The only suggestion I have is to manually fix such instances. You can either shift the lines or re-translate a block of lines (free of charge) to fix these lines.

Hello Akbar, about the Thai error, i translated again and yes, it translates to another language when Thai is selected on Google Translate option.
But the thing is, you know when we use the Google Translate option, a Translate bar appears on the top of the browser page. When i open the language selection menu on that bar(not on the website), there are 2 Thai language selections interestingly. There is a bug going on. There are 2 options and both are named Thai. Normally your tool uses the first one. When i select the second Thai option on the top bar, it translates to correct language.
Interesting! Thanks for sharing these details. That bar is directly from the Google Widget, so most probably they have some kind of bug there. But what I find a bit odd is that I don’t see the double Thai language options in that Translate bar – I see only a single option. Would it be possible for you to send me a screenshot via email? I’m wondering if it is related to either Browser and/or Region. Any possibility to change one of these and see how it behaves?
That’s odd. I gave this a quick try and seems to be working for me i.e. it did translate to Thai language. Can you please check in any other browser or in Incognito mode – just to isolate any other extensions running in background? Also, can you please double check that Yandex translation is not enabled?
Sorry for the delay there. Crypto payments sometime take few minutes to an hour to settle. I see that balance was finally credited into your account. Please let me know if continue to have any issues.
You should add a section for a glossary for how you want specific words to be translated. I would use this more if there was that, as well as an option to put in context.
Thanks for the feedback Joseph. Is this regarding Gemini or OpenAI translator? If yes, then this is already somewhat support for this. Basically, you can click on the Gear icon in the translator options and then click on the pencil icon in the Prompt Extension. This should let you specify synopsis or context, as well as, any additional instructions for the LLM models to fine tune translation. I hope this helps.
please never delete this page!!!! I use it regularly to translate English into German. I use the SRT files as subtitles in films or series because my wife is deaf. In Germany, subtitles are a big problem for deaf people. We can’t even go to the cinema because there are no cinemas where films are shown. In a normal cinema, non-disabled people would freak out if they constantly had subtitles in the film. very very important this side for me. im greatful. can i donate few euro for this work?
In Subtitle translator page, The drop down list for yandex translation starts with language Polish onward. I guess this is a bug!
I need to get to Arabic
The + add language button is non functional
Thanks for the feedback. I can’t seem to reproduce this in quick try, but my hunch is that this might be browser related? Are you trying to access this from a Mobile or small screen device? Is it possible to try with latest Chrome or Fixfox browser. If the problem persists, please let me know.
Wow. Thank you bro

Thai for Google Translate, does translation to wrong language. There is an issue. I double checked.
