To translate English subtitles to Russian, upload your .srt or .vtt file to SubLingo, set the target language to Russian, and download the file with every timecode preserved. Russian text tends to run about 15% longer than English, so lines that fit comfortably in English can overflow and may need re-breaking to stay under 42 characters. Russian uses the Cyrillic alphabet, so the file is saved as UTF-8; words tend to run longer than their English equivalents. Keep each line under 42 characters and a reading speed below 17 characters per second — the limit Netflix sets for Russian subtitles — and save the file as UTF-8 so every character survives the round trip.

Translating from English into Russian: Russian text tends to run about 15% longer than English, so lines that fit comfortably in English can overflow and may need re-breaking to stay under 42 characters. Russian uses the Cyrillic alphabet, so the file is saved as UTF-8; words tend to run longer than their English equivalents. Because SubLingo rewrites only the text inside each cue, every timecode from the original English file carries over to the Russian version unchanged.

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