Sorry for the trouble. I would suggest to try newer of these models and see if that helps? If this is only a one or two block of untranslated lines, you can also try to re-translate just that block as mentioned in my previous comment. I have issued refund in any case.
I made a tranlation and my balace was 1.17 $ and the translation was 1.16. the translation wasn’t made because supposedly because I don’t have enough balance and the balance of 1,16 dissapear

Sorry for the trouble Oliver. Yeah, it’s a really corner case bug where the difference between the actual charge was really minor, tripping that validation check a bit early. But you are right, it should never have consumed that balance. I will work on the fix, but in the mean time have top-up the lost amount in your account.
Hello dear Akbar,
I am writing from Turkey. I use your subtitle project from time to time and it works great. thank you very much for making it freely available to everyone.
with sincere love.
I was trying to translate from English to Chinese using OpenAI. However, the translation does not really follow line by line and at the end of the translate there is a lot blank space which there should also have translation. Not sure what should i do here. (order ID #JeOUnZVXXXX)
Currently there is only option for Chinese (in Open AI) which is simplified chinese, may i know if there will be traditional chinese as option in the future?
Thanks for trying out the service and sorry for the trouble. This missing or misaligned translation is unfortunately is still a problem in some translator models. You can try a different translator and/or model to see if this helps. You can read more about the reason and workarounds here: https://blog.syedgakbar.com/subtitles-translator-faq/#misaligned-translation
Regarding your other query, I have now added Traditional Chinese language in OpenAI, Gemini and DeepSeek translator options. It seems to work, but only a native speaker can tell if it’s working perfectly.

Good morning Akbar
I have now tried the newly available models
‘Gemini 2.5’ and “Gemini 2.5 Flash” several times.
The desired translation is always from English to German
However, every time I get an error message with the output “error.txt” indicating that the translation is still in progress. However, the translation was cancelled each time.
I have tried different subtitles for different series, and I always get the same error message, both with ‘Gemini 2.5’ and ‘Gemini 2.5 Flash’.
Am I the only user experiencing this problem, or are there others?
I would appreciate it if you could take a look at this problem.
Best regards
Matthias
Thank you Matthias for trying these new models and sorry for the trouble. Yeah, few other users have reported this partial success issue recently as well.
However, I’m still to reproduce and isolate this issue. When you get this problem, do you get that green “Success” message? Obviously, the order is not being charged and is still incomplete. But it looks like webpage script some how thinks that translate is complete. I can see that it’s not happening for all your translations, so if you can help me find reproduce steps, it would be fantastic.
Just a quick update. I think this issue is now all sorted and translation should be working properly as before. Thank you for reporting this me and your patiance.
Sorry for the trouble there. I see one successful translation from your use account and you can access it by going to following page after signing-in: https://www.syedgakbar.com/projects/user-subtitles
You can also download and print invoices from this page for you old translation order. For any failed translations, you are not charged.
PS. I have a top-up your account to let you try these out. Please let me know if you want to try more and run out of balance.
It’s hard to say in few sentences, but overall it’s improvement for sure – mainly in reasoning but in the translation tasks too. You can read more about this model capabilities and improvements here: https://openai.com/index/gpt-4-1/
That said, I think there might be value in introducing the mini and nano variants of this 4.1 series – as these might simply suit better in few translation pairs.
hi dear Akbar.
I don´t Know what is happening but theres some mising parts in gemini translation

Is GPT-4.1 essentially a straight improvement over 4o?
