thank you very much your hard work Syed Ghulam Akbar!
great site,thnaks Finnsih language support specially! helps alot our hobby…i wish you all best!
hope you can get Gemini lisence here and more..
I am translating multiple subtitle files. After translating when I press the Save-all button I get a http 500 error. Single files with the save-as button seems to work fine.
Thanks Marco for reporting this. I have now fixed the underlying issue. Can you please try this again when convenient and let me know if still run into any issues.
hello i just wanted to say the ”Server responded with 0 code.” with zip files still happening when i drag a srt file that is inside a zip file but when i drag a whole zip file it works fine
so i think the problem when dragging srt that is inside zip file it happen
I’m sorry to hear that you are still having trouble. I just tried this from a Windows 11 machine, with latest Chrome and it worked for me. I think it depends on lot of things, your OS, Browser and software you are using to open/extract the ZIP files. If you can provide more details on this, I can have a look.
Feature Request: Browser Extension for Quick Access
Hey! I have an idea that could make accessing the website much more convenient.
Would you consider creating a small browser extension for Chrome and Edge?
The idea is to have a simple icon in the browser toolbar that lets users quickly open the website and start translating subtitles without having to navigate to the site manually every time.
It could potentially offer a few useful shortcuts, such as opening the subtitle translator, selecting a local SRT file, or accessing recent translations, depending on what is technically possible.
It doesn’t need to be a full extension with lots of features. Even a lightweight companion that makes the website easier to access would be great.
Of course, this is just a suggestion, and only something to consider if it fits your plans for the project.
I truly appreciate your continuous feedback and suggestions with such a detail. This just tells how committed and honest you are about genuinely improving this website and give an idea a good thought.
For this idea, I think browser bookmarks are probably the best option. You can create multiple bookmarks for the various pages.
While I agree, the extension buttons are more compact option, I think having something with just links would get become tricky to get approved too. I have developed Chrome extensions in the past and now their team is getting very picky on what they approve for publication.
Title: Idea: Desktop Companion App for Automatic Subtitle Translation
Hey! I wanted to share a more ambitious idea that I think could make the project incredibly useful for people with large movie and TV libraries.
Would you ever consider creating a lightweight desktop companion app for Windows that runs in the background, somewhat like how Plex Media Server works?
The idea would be to let users select one or more folders on their PC for the app to monitor. Whenever a new SRT subtitle file appears in those folders, the app could automatically detect it and translate it into the user’s preferred language using the website’s translation functionality.
For example, when I download subtitles for a movie or TV episode, I wouldn’t have to open the website, upload the file, and download the translated version manually every time. The desktop app could handle the process in the background and save the translated SRT alongside the original subtitle or in a designated output folder.
Ideally, it would include options to:
Monitor selected folders automatically.
Choose a default target language.
Automatically translate new SRT files.
Save translated subtitles using the same filename, with a language suffix to avoid overwriting the original.
Run quietly in the system tray and start with Windows.
This could be especially useful for people with large media libraries who frequently download subtitles and want them translated with minimal manual work.
I realize this would be a much bigger project than a browser extension, and it might require some additional engineering and resource management. I’m not expecting it to be implemented anytime soon; I just wanted to share the idea in case it’s something you might be interested in exploring in the future.
Thank you for thinking and giving this project such good thought and sharing your plan in detail.
What you propose is definitely possible, especially now that I have also started supporting the API based access to translation. So all this seems like something that can be easily automated with some smart AI agents.
As you said, this one is comparatively a bigger one, so I can’t commit to the timeline. But if anyone else in the community is willing to project on this idea, I can provide support and necessary documentation and tech support.
Report / Feature Request: Support Drag-and-Drop for ZIP Archives Containing SRT Files
Hey! I’d like to report an issue with the drag-and-drop functionality and suggest a small improvement.
Currently, when I drag a ZIP archive containing subtitle files into the website, I get the following error:
Server responded with 0 code.
I also encounter the same issue when I open the ZIP archive and drag an SRT file directly from inside it onto the website.
Would it be possible to fix this and support drag-and-drop for ZIP archives containing subtitle files?
Ideally, the website could automatically detect the SRT files inside the ZIP and let users select which subtitles to process, without having to extract the archive manually first.
This would make the workflow much more convenient, especially when downloading subtitles that come packaged in ZIP files. Instead of extracting everything into a separate folder and then uploading the files individually, users could simply drag the archive directly onto the website.
Thanks for adding ZIP drag-and-drop support! I really appreciate it. Being able to drop a ZIP file containing subtitles directly into the website saves me the extra step of extracting everything manually, which makes the workflow much more convenient.
I also wanted to share one more suggestion: have you considered creating an official GitHub repository for the project?
I don’t mean making the source code open source or moving the website itself to GitHub. The website could stay exactly as it is, while GitHub serves as a place for users to report bugs, submit feature requests with screenshots, and follow upcoming improvements in a more organized way.
I think it could help the project grow and make it easier for users to contribute ideas as more features are added.
Just a suggestion, of course! Thanks again for listening to feedback and improving the website.
That’s another great suggestion. I’m not sure how many of my current users are developers, who are comfortable with github, but even if it can help a small group, who works together for better tool support and growths, I’m all for it
I will try to setup some project for this on github soon.
Thanks for reporting this back to me. I will try to reproduce this behaviour. Do you see any pattern there, like:
– Is it only the bottom part that is randomly missed or it’s in between the subtitle files?
– What if you re-try the translation? Does it fix the problem?
– Are you using any VPN? Sometime Google Translate throttles the request to avoid misuse.

Thanks. I just tested it. And it works fine now.

Any idea when Gemini 4 Argon could be added?
I have added this model today. Hope this helps.

Thanks for sharing this suggestion. I think it’s not that complex and would be handy for other users too.

You might have already noticed, but this ZIP file upload is now supported.
Hope you find this of help.

i appreciate it thanks for considering the idea of an github project it will help very much!
Hi,
I usually use the website to translate around 10–15 subtitle files at once using Google Translate (the free version).
Lately, I’ve noticed that more and more often, some of those 10–15 subtitle files contain passages that remain untranslated.
Please look into this and see if you can find a solution to fix the issue.
Thanks!
Hi Mike,
Thanks for reporting this back to me. I will try to reproduce this behaviour. Do you see any pattern there, like:
– Is it only the bottom part that is randomly missed or it’s in between the subtitle files?
– What if you re-try the translation? Does it fix the problem?
