French → Arabic
To translate French subtitles to Arabic, upload your .srt or .vtt file to SubLingo, set the target language to Arabic, and download the file with every timecode preserved. Arabic and French land at similar line lengths (within a few percent), so existing line breaks usually still fit. Arabic is written right-to-left with cursive joined letters, so players render from the right edge and mirror punctuation. Because Arabic 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 Arabic subtitles — and save the file as UTF-8 so every character survives the round trip.
