Turn Marathi video or audio into Hindi subtitles, exported as SRT, VTT or plain text with the original timings intact. Marathi and Hindi are close relatives, so set both languages explicitly rather than relying on detection.
Choosing between Marathi and Hindi
Marathi and Hindi are close enough that automatic detection between them is unreliable, especially on short clips — there is simply not enough audio to tell them apart. Set both languages explicitly here rather than leaving the source on detection.
Because the two are so close, translation between them is largely a matter of vocabulary and written convention rather than restructuring sentences. Expect a Hindi subtitle file that tracks the Marathi original almost line for line.
How Marathi audio becomes Hindi subtitles
Audio in Marathi (मराठी) is transcribed first, then translated into Hindi (हिन्दी). Because the translation runs on the transcript rather than on the audio, the Hindi subtitle file keeps the timings of the original Marathi speech — each line appears at the moment it was actually said.
Why translate Marathi video into Hindi
Marathi is spoken principally in Maharashtra, in western India; Hindi in northern India, and widely as a second language across the subcontinent. A Hindi 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 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.
About the Hindi subtitles
Everyday spoken Hindi borrows heavily from English and from Urdu, often inside a single sentence, and recognition has to follow those switches rather than force everything into one vocabulary. Transcription keeps the Devanagari script; if you want the Roman-script form people write informally, translate to English instead of transcribing.
What a Marathi to Hindi subtitle file looks like
Four lines of Marathi speech, transcribed and translated, as they come out of the exported SRT. The timings are the Marathi 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 Marathi may need loosening to read well in Hindi.
Timing on fast exchanges, where two speakers overlap.
Transcribe
Transcribe Your Video/Audio to Subtitles Automatically.
It can, if you leave the source on automatic detection — the two are close enough that a short clip does not give detection much to work with. Setting Marathi explicitly removes the guess, and is worth doing on anything under a minute.
How do I add Hindi subtitles to a Marathi video?
Upload the video, set the spoken language to Marathi and the subtitle language to Hindi, 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 Hindi subtitle file stay in sync?
Yes. Translation happens on the transcript, so every Hindi line inherits the timing of the Marathi words it came from. The file will sync with the same video without adjustment.
Can I get the Marathi transcript as well?
Yes. Transcribing Marathi into Marathi subtitles is a separate job on the same recording, and gives you the original-language track alongside the Hindi one.
