About Luxembourgish transcription

Luxembourgish (Lëtzebuergesch) is written in the Latin alphabet and spoken principally in Luxembourg. Subtitles generated here come back in that script, as ordinary written Luxembourgish, ready to use in an SRT or VTT file.

Luxembourgish speech routinely carries French and German inside the same sentence, and that mixing is a normal register rather than an error to resolve. Its standardised spelling is relatively recent, so written forms vary more than in longer-codified languages.

Line length in Luxembourgish

Luxembourgish welds nouns together into single long words, so a Luxembourgish subtitle line runs visually wider than its word count suggests.

Shorter subtitle blocks read better as a result, and splitting one across two events costs nothing — the timings come from the speech either way.

Getting a better Luxembourgish transcript

• Set the language to Luxembourgish rather than leaving detection on, particularly for clips under a minute where there is little audio to judge from.
• Upload the highest-quality audio you have; compression artefacts cost more accuracy than most people expect.
• Check proper nouns, place names and numbers first — recognition errors concentrate there.
• Read the transcript before exporting. Luxembourgish subtitles are editable up until you download them.

Luxembourgish subtitles in another language

The same Luxembourgish audio can produce subtitles in any of the 76 supported languages instead of in Luxembourgish itself. English is the most common target, but every pair works, and the translated file keeps the original timings so it drops onto the same video unchanged.
