To translate English subtitles to Portuguese, upload your .srt or .vtt file to SubLingo, set the target language to Portuguese, and download the file with every timecode preserved. Portuguese text tends to run about 20% longer than English, so lines that fit comfortably in English can overflow and may need re-breaking to stay under 42 characters. Portuguese uses nasal vowels (ã, õ), the cedilla (ç) and several accents, and Brazilian and European variants differ in wording. Keep each line under 42 characters and a reading speed below 17 characters per second — the limit Netflix sets for Portuguese subtitles — and save the file as UTF-8 so every character survives the round trip.

Translating from English into Portuguese: Portuguese text tends to run about 20% longer than English, so lines that fit comfortably in English can overflow and may need re-breaking to stay under 42 characters. Portuguese uses nasal vowels (ã, õ), the cedilla (ç) and several accents, and Brazilian and European variants differ in wording. Because SubLingo rewrites only the text inside each cue, every timecode from the original English file carries over to the Portuguese version unchanged.

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.
