Overview

SubtitlesDog is an AI subtitle translation service for creators, translators and companies that need to localize video content. You upload subtitle files such as SRT or VTT, choose target languages from more than 100 supported options, and download translated subtitles. It can also generate subtitles directly from video. Its main differentiator is that it treats a whole film or video as one piece rather than translating each line in isolation.

A whole-film approach

Line-by-line machine translation of subtitles often produces inconsistent tone and names, because each line lacks context. SubtitlesDog addresses this in three ways:

Whole-film style: it analyzes the full script first and builds a style guide so tone and voice stay consistent from start to finish.
Locked terminology: character names, places and key terms are extracted and fixed before translation, so the same name is translated the same way throughout.
Context-aware flow: each segment is translated with access to previous and upcoming lines, reducing reference errors and choppy phrasing.

Pricing

SubtitlesDog uses one-time credit packs instead of subscriptions, and credits never expire. The Starter pack costs 9.90 US dollars for 200,000 credits, which the site says is roughly 400,000 characters of subtitle translation or about 5.5 hours of generated video subtitles, with access to all AI models. Larger packs are available for teams. New users can claim free credits to try the service, and the company advertises a refund if you are not satisfied.

Things to consider

Even with context-aware translation, subtitles benefit from a native-speaker review, especially for humour, slang and cultural references. Check timing after translation, as some languages need more characters to express the same line, which can affect reading speed.
