Unfortunately, it’s not a bug. DeepSeek has raised its API pricing effective August 16, 2026. Rates have increased by 50% to over 1,100%, depending on the model, token type, and time of use.
That said, I have slightly adjusted the price to bear part of the cost. It’s still higher than before, but that’s the best I can offer at the moment. Thank you for your undertanding.
Hello Akbar
This tool was very useful for me, who is in Iran and cannot always be online and translate with PotPlayer
Thank you, but I wish the user interface was a little more attractive, although it is a really powerful tool.
Bulk or mass translation is already supported. You can upload up to 20 files at a time (and 100 for the registered users) and then translate all of these in single go. I hope this helps.
Sorry for the trouble. The legacy DeepSeek API model deepseek-chat and deepseek-reasoner were officially deprecated by DeepSeek on July 24, 2026. Please use DeepSeek v4 models. I will soon update my website to remove these models from the options.
I’m sorry for the trouble in downloading files. I assume you were using Google Translator in free mode? Unfortunately, free translations are not saved, so any intermittent failures are lost. If you don’t close the window, you can re-try after few minutes, and hopefully it will let you continue. If you can’t download any of the file, then something in your browser may be blocking it. I would suggest trying any other latest browser e.g. Chrome or Firefox. If the problem persists, please let me know.
“When I was using Gemini 2.5 Flash-Lite to translate the subtitles for Little House on the Prairie Season 1 Episode 1, I used the ‘Merge’ feature to generate bilingual English-Chinese subtitles. On one particular subtitle frame, there were two sentences: ‘No, not today. Today is special.’ However, the AI only translated the first sentence ‘No, not today’ for that frame, while pushing the translation of ‘Today is special’ into the next frame. This caused the translation for the next frame to be pushed to the one after that, and so on. This domino effect caused a long sequence of misalignments until it suddenly resynced later on. I only noticed this issue halfway through watching the video, and it really ruined the viewing experience. How to prevent this from happening in the future? Thanks!”
I’m sorry for the bad experience Anthony. This is unfortunately is a known problem with AI translators, where they sometime mix-up the context and do unintended shifting. The good news is that this is less frequent with high-end or latest models, but it’s still a problem. The best recommendation I can have is that try to visually inspect the rows quickly after translation. I have built in tools to fix these sync issues or re-translate a batch of problematic rows. You can read more about it here: https://blog.syedgakbar.com/subtitles-translator-help-tips/#shift-rows
PS. I have issued a full refund for that translation.
I really appreciate the professional translation, thank you
Hi, Akbar!
Excuse me, why DeepSeek translations became so expencive? Approximately x3 within couple of days. Maybe it’s a bug? (hope so 😇)

Thanks for the feedback and I’m glad you are finding it of help.
I must admit that I’m not good at UI design, so if you have any suggestions or ideas, please feel free to share.

Add mass translate subtitles option, like upload 5,6 SRT files and one click all translated in same time

Just yesterday I used DeepSeek 3.1 just fine. But all of a sudden today I can’t. It says:
Error: invalid_request_error:The supported API model names are deepseek-v4-pro or deepseek-v4-flash, but you passed deepseek-chat.
Please help…

Did something happen to the free software? It doesn’t give me the option to translate from English to Hebrew for free?
Google widget based translation is still free and I just tried it. What translator you are using?
Regards, Akbar
Hello, need help.
I use sub translatror for 5hr content, translated very well but I cant download it(timeout)?
Regards!
