Translate English subtitles to Hebrew

To translate English subtitles to Hebrew, upload your .srt or .vtt file to SubLingo, set the target language to Hebrew, and download the file with every timecode preserved. Hebrew and English land at similar line lengths (within a few percent), so existing line breaks usually still fit. Hebrew is written right-to-left and omits most vowels, so it is compact, but brackets and punctuation are mirrored on screen. Because Hebrew is written right-to-left, players render the line from the right edge while the cue timing stays unchanged. Keep each line under 42 characters and a reading speed below 17 characters per second — the limit Netflix sets for Hebrew subtitles — and save the file as UTF-8 so every character survives the round trip.

Hebrew subtitle considerations

Translating from English into Hebrew: Hebrew and English land at similar line lengths (within a few percent), so existing line breaks usually still fit. Hebrew is written right-to-left and omits most vowels, so it is compact, but brackets and punctuation are mirrored on screen. Because SubLingo rewrites only the text inside each cue, every timecode from the original English file carries over to the Hebrew version unchanged.

EnglishHebrew questions

How long can each line be in Hebrew subtitles?+

Netflix caps Hebrew subtitles at 42 characters per line and a reading speed of about 17 characters per second, across a maximum of two lines. SubLingo keeps the cue boundaries fixed, so you can re-break a long Hebrew line without touching the timing.

Will the timecodes change when translating English to Hebrew?+

No. SubLingo translates only the subtitle text, so every start and end time is preserved exactly. Your Hebrew subtitles stay frame-accurate against the original video.

Does it support .vtt files as well as .srt?+

Yes. Both WebVTT (.vtt) and SubRip (.srt) English files are supported, including multi-line cues. The output keeps the same format you uploaded.

Can I translate English to Hebrew for free online?+

Yes. You can translate a English subtitle file to Hebrew in your browser for free, with no signup and nothing to install.

Is the English to Hebrew translation really free?+

You can try it for free with no account. Upload your English file, translate to Hebrew, and download the result.

How long does it take to translate English subtitles to Hebrew?+

Most English subtitle files translate to Hebrew in a few seconds. Longer files with thousands of cues take a little more, but you stay on the page the whole time.

Is there a file size or length limit for Hebrew subtitles?+

Typical movie and episode subtitle files — a few hundred KB and a few thousand cues — translate without trouble. Very large files may take longer to process, but the timecodes still come back unchanged.
