Translation Services

YouTube video translation that grows your audience

Most YouTube viewers live outside the United States and many prefer to watch in their own language. We translate your titles, descriptions, captions, and transcripts so every video can be found, understood, and shared in more than 120 languages.

Why Focus

YouTube Videos, done right

Grow your channel beyond one language

  • Titles and descriptions

    Localized metadata for each language so your videos appear in searches viewers actually run.

  • Subtitle tracks

    Accurate, timed subtitles delivered as SRT or VTT files ready to upload as separate language tracks.

  • SEO in every language

    Translated captions and metadata give YouTube and Google more text to index, in more languages.

  • Accurate captions

    Human-edited same-language captions that replace error-prone auto-captions and improve accessibility.

Why translate your YouTube videos

Why translate your YouTube videos

YouTube is a global platform, and a channel that speaks only one language reaches only a fraction of its potential audience. Translated subtitles let viewers who do not speak your language watch and understand your content, and localized titles and descriptions let them find it in the first place.

Translated captions also benefit search. YouTube and Google index caption text and metadata, so a video with subtitles in Spanish, Portuguese, and Hindi can surface in searches in those languages that an English-only upload would never appear in. Accurate captions improve watch time and accessibility for every viewer, including those watching without sound.

What we translate for your channel

What we translate for your channel

We handle every text element attached to a YouTube video, from the metadata viewers see in search results to the subtitle tracks they switch on while watching. Files are delivered in the formats YouTube Studio accepts, so publishing a new language takes minutes.

Every piece is translated by a native speaker of the target language who understands how viewers search and read on the platform. Titles stay short enough to display in full, descriptions keep their links and timestamps, and subtitles are timed to the master captions so nothing drifts from the picture.

  • Video titles, descriptions, tags, and hashtags
  • Same-language closed captions, transcribed and edited by a person
  • Translated subtitle tracks in as many languages as you need
  • Full transcripts for blog posts, show notes, and repurposed content
  • Channel descriptions, playlists, end screens, and pinned comments
  • Thumbnail text and community posts

Multi-language subtitle tracks, done right

Multi-language subtitle tracks, done right

YouTube lets you attach a separate subtitle track for each language, and viewers can choose the one they want. We start by producing an accurate same-language caption file, timed to the video, and translate from that master so every language shares the same timing and the same meaning.

Each translated track is reviewed for reading speed and line length so subtitles are comfortable to read on a phone. You receive one SRT or VTT file per language, named and ready to upload in YouTube Studio.

A workflow that fits a publishing schedule

A workflow that fits a publishing schedule

Channels publish on a cadence, so we work on one. Send us a video link or file as soon as it is ready, tell us the target languages, and we return the caption and subtitle files ahead of your publish date. For series and recurring formats, a glossary keeps names, product terms, and catchphrases consistent from episode to episode.

If you have a back catalog, we can translate it in batches, prioritizing the videos that already draw international traffic.
