A very nice service you´ve built here, appreciate it a lot, but unfortunately the .srt files I translated with a paid gpt are faulty in their timing-marks and not usable.
Sorry for the bad experience Peter. Regarding the bad timing marks, the AI subtitles translation can sometime go out of sync. If the sync is limited to few rows/batches only, you can shift/re-translate the rows using built-in tool after translation. You can learn more about it here: https://blog.syedgakbar.com/subtitles-translator-faq/#misaligned-translation
However if it’s more than 30-40 lines, I’m always more than happy to issue full refunds. Please just let me know the Order Number or the source file names and I will issue full refund promptly. I normally also then review why the translation went out of sync and try to fix at the core level.
Thank you brother. I have used your program for years. It really helps me to create subs without translate it manually. It fast, accurate and easy.
Thank you brother from the bottom of my hearth
Is it possible to save the settings for added languages? I translate to the same languages every time. Is there already a setting to pull those languages back up for each file translation or do I need to manually choose them every time?
Yes, I think. I assume you are talking about multiple target language translation. If yes, you can save/restore the languages list by clicking on the “Save” button at the bottom of languages. And then restore it by clicking on the “Restore” icon next to the language dropdown.
Hi, thank you for this service. Chat GPT 4.1 seems to be the best without skipping too many blocks, but still, it skips some and therefore messes up the time stamps so badly that the free translation blocks you offer to correct this are not enough. Please consider offering more free translation blocks for correction, so I can fix my subtitles properly. I would fix them manually even using my own Chat GPT Plus and then copy paste the translation in, but that is also not possible because once blocks are not translated at all, they are empty and you cannot “edit” this translation that isn’t there and not put anything in there… So please while offering more free translations for fixing, also consider to make it possible to fill empty translation blocks manually. Thank you.
Thanks for getting back to me and sharing your feedback. Great feedback. I have now done the following two fixes.
1. I have now doubled the re-try limit compared to the previous limit. This should hopefully help you fix nearly all of the alignment issues in any file. In case still run into this, please do let me know.
2. I have now fixed the issue where you can’t edit/re-try the empty block. This is not yet live, but will be release pretty soon.
I added $$ to the account, but the program won’t let me save – I’ve used it a bunch and this is the first time $$ was required AND it still won’t allow me to save. ? Thanks in advance for the help. Mike
Sorry for the trouble there Mike. I see that you have loaded amount and it’s available for translation in your account. But I don’t see any subtitles translation requests from your account using this balance. Do you get any particular error when trying the translation? If you can share more details on what’s blocking you or what type of error you get, I can look into this promptly.
BTW, there are still free translation options available i.e. Google and Yandex. The rest of the services are now paid as their provider doesn’t offer free alternatives and charge for any translated text. So that’s why I’m passing over that cost to the end users.
Is this where I need to report problems back to you as you request? I have an SRT that’s 95% English, but around 1h50 there’s a show that’s in Italian. There might be more after that, I don’t know, I wanted to first add English translation underneath the Italian lines. H.o.w.e.v.e.r, your site errors when I try to translate, saying “More than 50% failed to translate.” Ya, duh! More than 50% is already English! I wanna translate aaaalllllllllllllllllll the Italian lines an auto-translator can find, so I don’t need to first finish watching the whole movie to see where all the Italian text is and then pluck that out into a separate file for translation. And when I then press RESUME translation, it d.o.e.s.n.’.t resume at all! It starts back from zero (0) again! How do you call that ‘resume’?? Anyways, I can’t complain, I programmed nothing to make this translator happen, so who am I to yell here. My request though is that besides the [_OK_] button on the error, an [_I_don:t_care,_just_continue_translating_(the_<50%_of)_the_lines_that_c.a.n_successfully_translated_] button be implemented. Thank you. Oh btw, the movie I'm referring to is Mulholland Drive.
Thank you for explaining this issue in detail and with background scenario. I added that auto block safety feature because 90% of the times the issue that end user wrong select the source/target language, so I just don’t want them to pay for something which is not going to be useful – even if it’s a user mistake.
However, what you have explained is another valid scenario and it makes perfect sense. I can’t tell you when, but I will try to implement this feature pretty soon. Thanks again!
