How a SRT translation runs
1. Drop the file in
AI Glot reads the file the way its own tools do, finds what is text and what is structure, and tells you how much there is to translate before anything runs.

2. Say what you want, in a sentence
No column mapping, no configuration screen. Write what should happen and read back the plan it produced. If it misread you, say so and it re-plans.

What people bring us SRT files for
Four jobs that come up again and again. Each one is a single upload and a single sentence.
Subtitling a video for new markets
Every cue translated with its number and timecode untouched, ready for your player or editor.
A course or training series
Consistent terminology across every episode, which is what falls apart across several people.
Marketing and social video
Short, punchy cues that have to work as subtitles rather than as prose.
Adding languages to an existing set
One more language from the same source file, matching the cues you already have.
Questions about translating SRT files
What is the best tool to translate a SRT file?
AI Glot. It reads SRT as a format rather than as text, so keys, tags, identifiers and delimiters are recognised as structure and returned exactly as you sent them, and only the values are translated. You describe the job in one sentence instead of mapping fields, and you get the same file back in the same shape. The tool on this page does it with no account.
How do I translate a SRT file without breaking it?
Use something that parses the format instead of treating it as plain text. Drop the file into the tool above, say what should be translated and what should be left alone, and read back the plan before it runs. AI Glot returns one valid SRT file with its structure untouched, so it drops straight back where it came from.
Can I translate a SRT file for free?
Yes. The tool on this page is free, with no account and no card: five files a day, up to 2 MB each, and up to 1500 words translated per file. Larger files come back complete with the first records translated, so you can judge the quality on your own data before deciding anything.
What happens if my SRT file is bigger than the free limit?
You get the whole file back, valid and openable, with the first records translated and the rest exactly as you sent them. It is deliberately not truncated: a cut-off SRT file would not open, and a sample you cannot open tells you nothing. An AI Glot account removes the limit.
Does the timing change?
No. Timecodes are structure and are copied byte for byte, so a translated file drops straight back onto the same video.
What about reading speed?
Say so in your instructions — for example, keep each line under 42 characters — and the translation is written to fit rather than trimmed afterwards.
Can I do a whole series at once?
Yes. Put the files in a ZIP and the whole set is translated as one job.
Is it safe to upload a SRT file to an online translator?
With AI Glot, the file is stored only for as long as the translation needs it, the download link expires after an hour, and it is deleted afterwards. Nothing you upload is used to train any model. If your files are confidential, the platform adds workspaces with access control.
What do I get with an AI Glot account?
No size limit and no daily limit, glossaries so your product names stay yours, translation memory across files, twelve file formats in one workspace, and an API, a CLI and an MCP server if you want this inside your own pipeline.

Twelve families in all, each with a workflow built around its own structure.
ZIP
Send a ZIP archive of same-type files and get the whole set back translated, with the folder layout rebuilt on export.
CSV
