Turn Polish video or audio into English subtitles, exported as SRT, VTT or plain text with the original timings intact. Polish inflects heavily, so the transcript and the translation will not line up term for term.

Searching a Polish transcript

Polish is heavily inflected, so the same term appears in a range of forms rather than repeating identically. That is correct output, but it means searching the transcript for a keyword will miss most of its occurrences unless you search for the stem.

It matters here because the English translation collapses much of that variation, and the two files will not line up term for term even though they line up line for line.

How Polish audio becomes English subtitles

Audio in Polish (Polski) 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 Polish speech — each line appears at the moment it was actually said.

Why translate Polish video into English

Polish is spoken principally in Poland; 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.

About the Polish audio

Polish carries two full series of sibilants that sound close to an untrained ear — the ś/ź/ć group against sz/ż/cz — and confusing them is where most transcription errors land. It also writes nasal vowels as ą and ę, and permits consonant clusters long enough that a correct transcript can look like a typing error.

About the English subtitles

English has a wider spread of accents than any other language here, and the gap between spelling and pronunciation means recognition leans on context rather than sound alone. Names and technical terms are where errors concentrate, because those are exactly the words context cannot predict.

What a Polish to English subtitle file looks like

Four lines of Polish speech, transcribed and translated, as they come out of the exported SRT. The timings are the Polish speaker's — translation does not move them, which is why the file drops onto the original video unchanged.

What to check before publishing

  • Names and places, which translation handles less reliably than ordinary prose.
  • Idiom — a phrase that is natural in Polish may need loosening to read well in English.
  • Timing on fast exchanges, where two speakers overlap.

Common questions

How do I add English subtitles to a Polish video?

Upload the video, set the spoken language to Polish and the subtitle language to English, then export the result as SRT and upload it alongside your video. Nothing is burned into the picture, so the subtitles stay switchable.

Does the English subtitle file stay in sync?

Yes. Translation happens on the transcript, so every English line inherits the timing of the Polish words it came from. The file will sync with the same video without adjustment.

Can I get the Polish transcript as well?

Yes. Transcribing Polish into Polish subtitles is a separate job on the same recording, and gives you the original-language track alongside the English one.

What does a Polish to English subtitle job cost?

One credit per minute of the recording, rounded up, whether you transcribe or translate. Plans start at $10 a month for 300 credits, refreshed at the start of each month.
