Example output

Real output of this tool, generated on from a video in the public library: MrBeast Joins The Sharks And Likes What He Sees | Shark Tank US | Shark Tank Global (Shark Tank Global). It is shown unedited; a run on the same video can word things differently.

Next up is a company using AI to re-imagine the ultimate classic toy. Hey Sharks, I'm Andrew. And I'm Kevin. We're both dads from rural Pennsylvania and we're here seeking $200,000 for a 10% stake in our company.

Sharks, play isn't what it used to be. Kids glued to their phones, their tablets, video games. We love technology, but not like this. Well, we want to see kids get up, get outside, get in the backyard and just invent crazy games. That's why we created Ball 2.

Berikutnya adalah perusahaan yang menggunakan AI untuk menghadirkan kembali mainan klasik. Hai para Shark, saya Andrew. Dan saya Kevin. Kami berdua adalah ayah dari pedesaan Pennsylvania dan kami di sini mencari $200.000 untuk 10% saham di perusahaan kami.

00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:40,720
Para Shark, permainan masa kini tidak seperti dulu lagi. Anak-anak terpaku pada ponsel, tablet, dan video game mereka. Kami menyukai teknologi, tetapi tidak seperti ini. Nah, kami ingin melihat anak-anak bangkit, pergi keluar, ke halaman belakang dan menciptakan permainan gila. Itulah sebabnya kami menciptakan Ball 2.

Text file, SRT or VTT in Indonesian

Download subtitles.id.txt (one caption per line, no timestamps), subtitles.id.srt (for a video editor or YouTube Studio) or subtitles.id.vtt (for HTML5 players). The text is in Indonesian; every start and end time is the original one.

From a YouTube link each cue is a paragraph of several caption lines, so most cues are too long to show on screen. For Indonesian subtitles that fit the screen, translate the .srt or .vtt file made for the video instead: it keeps its own cues.

Notes on Indonesian translations

Indonesian and Malay are close but separate targets. Pick Indonesian for viewers in Indonesia and Malay for Malaysia; both are in the Pro language list.

FAQ

Do English words like AI stay in English?

Often. In the sample above, AI and video game stay in English, as they do in everyday Indonesian. There is no setting for this; on Pro, list terms in the glossary to keep them exactly as written in every cue.

Does the Indonesian translation use Anda or kamu?

There is no setting for it. The model is asked to keep the tone of the original, and English you does not say whether Anda or kamu fits, so check that the file uses one form throughout, the one your channel uses with viewers.

Can I translate an English YouTube transcript to Indonesian?

Yes. The captions can be in English or another language, auto-generated ones included; you only choose the target, Indonesian.

Can I upload the Indonesian SRT to YouTube?

Yes, and the times match the video. For subtitles viewers read on screen, translate the .srt file you made for the video rather than the link: from a link each cue is a paragraph of several caption lines and is usually flagged as too long.

Is translating to Indonesian free?

Indonesian needs Pro. The free plan translates into Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Japanese.
