Translate Ukrainian subtitles to Russian

To translate Ukrainian 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 and Ukrainian land at similar line lengths (within a few percent), so existing line breaks usually still fit. 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.

Russian subtitle considerations

Translating from Ukrainian into Russian: Russian and Ukrainian land at similar line lengths (within a few percent), so existing line breaks usually still fit. 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 Ukrainian file carries over to the Russian version unchanged.

UkrainianRussian questions

How long can each line be in Russian subtitles?+

Netflix caps Russian 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 Russian line without touching the timing.

Will the timecodes change when translating Ukrainian to Russian?+

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

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

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

Can I translate Ukrainian to Russian for free online?+

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

Is the Ukrainian to Russian translation really free?+

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

How long does it take to translate Ukrainian subtitles to Russian?+

Most Ukrainian 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.

Is there a file size or length limit for Russian 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.
