Spanish → English
To translate Spanish subtitles to English, upload your .srt or .vtt file to SubLingo, set the target language to English, and download the file with every timecode preserved. English text tends to run about 20% shorter than Spanish, so lines rarely overflow when you translate. English uses the Latin alphabet with no diacritics, so it packs more words per line than most target languages. Keep each line under 42 characters and a reading speed below 20 characters per second — the limit Netflix sets for English subtitles — and save the file as UTF-8 so every character survives the round trip.

Translating from Spanish into English: English text tends to run about 20% shorter than Spanish, so lines rarely overflow when you translate. English uses the Latin alphabet with no diacritics, so it packs more words per line than most target languages. Because SubLingo rewrites only the text inside each cue, every timecode from the original Spanish file carries over to the English version unchanged.

Most Spanish subtitle files translate to English 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.
