Make it yours

Fill in the inputs. Your prompt updates as you type.

Before you paste

Paste the source below the prompt or attach the stated file in a platform that supports it. Use authorized, non-sensitive data. This website does not send attachments to the AI platform.

Your prompt

Translate the attached or pasted SRT captions into {{target_language}}. Keep every cue number, start time, end time and blank-line boundary exactly as supplied. Translate dialogue only; preserve proper names unless I supply an approved glossary. Do not merge or split cues, add timings, or silently repair malformed input. Report malformed cues separately and ask for clarification. Return the SRT in a code block, followed by a cue-count check and lines that may be too long. Translation can change reading length; it needs a timed playback review before publication.

1 input still blank. Empty inputs stay as placeholders when copied.
