Generate English subtitles for your Marathi videos

Translating Marathi speech into English subtitles

Audio in Marathi (मराठी) is transcribed first, then translated into English (English). Because the translation runs on the transcript rather than on the audio, the English subtitle file keeps the timings of the original Marathi speech — each line appears at the moment it was actually said.

Marathi is written in Devanagari and English in the Latin alphabet, so the exported file will be in a different script from the audio you uploaded.

Why translate Marathi video into English

Marathi is spoken principally in Maharashtra, in western India; English in worldwide. A English subtitle track is what lets one recording reach both audiences without re-recording, re-editing or dubbing it.

Because subtitles are a separate file rather than part of the picture, you can attach several language tracks to the same video and let viewers pick.

What to check before publishing

• Names and places, which translation tends to handle less reliably than ordinary prose.
• Idiom — a phrase that is natural in Marathi may need loosening to read well in English.
• Line length, since English may be considerably more or less compact than Marathi for the same sentence.
• Timing on fast exchanges, where two speakers overlap.

About the Marathi audio

Marathi shares Devanagari with Hindi but is a distinct language, and picking Hindi for Marathi audio produces confidently wrong output rather than an obvious failure. Set the language explicitly when you know it, especially for Mumbai recordings where both are in the room.
