What Can Subly Translate?
Subly translates all text outputs from your video content — not just subtitles.
- Subtitles & Captions: Translate your SRT, VTT, or burned-in captions to any language. Viewers read in their native language while hearing original audio.
- Transcripts: Full text transcripts translated for documentation, SEO, or content repurposing across markets.
- Descriptive Transcripts: WCAG-compliant descriptive transcripts with visual descriptions — translated for international accessibility requirements.
- Audio Description Scripts: Translate your audio description narration scripts for voiceover recording in other languages.
For global organizations, translation isn't optional. The European Accessibility Act requires content accessible across EU member states (24 official languages). Multinational companies need training, product content, and communications that work everywhere.
Subly handles this at scale. Upload once, translate everything to dozens of languages, all that while maintaining consistent formatting across all versions.
