Translate YouTube transcript to Portuguese

To translate a YouTube transcript to Portuguese, paste the video link, choose Portuguese as the target language, pick a text file, SRT or VTT, and select Translate subtitles. The captions are fetched, auto-generated ones included, and only their text is translated; every timestamp stays where it was. Portuguese is included in the free plan.

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.

A seguir temos uma empresa usando IA para reinventar o brinquedo clássico definitivo. Ei Sharks, sou o Andrew. E sou o Kevin. Nós dois somos pais da zona rural da Pensilvânia e estamos aqui buscando $200.000 por uma participação de 10% na nossa empresa.

Sharks, brincar não é o que costumava ser. Crianças coladas nos telefones, tablets, videogames. Nós amamos tecnologia, mas não assim. Bem, queremos ver as crianças se levantarem, saírem, irem para o quintal e simplesmente inventarem jogos malucos. É por isso que criamos o Ball 2.

Text file, SRT or VTT in Portuguese

Download subtitles.pt.txt (one caption per line, no timestamps), subtitles.pt.srt (for a video editor or YouTube Studio) or subtitles.pt.vtt (for HTML5 players). The text is in Portuguese; 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 Portuguese subtitles that fit the screen, translate the .srt or .vtt file made for the video instead: it keeps its own cues.

Notes on Portuguese translations

The target is "Portuguese" with no regional variant. Brazilian and European Portuguese differ in vocabulary and spelling (for example ônibus and autocarro), so check the result against the variant your viewers use.

  • Results are private to you. They are not added to the public transcript library and not listed in the sitemap.

  • A video without captions cannot be translated from its link. Get its text with AI transcription first, then paste it here.

FAQ

Is the Portuguese translation Brazilian or European?

There is no switch, and the result can lean Brazilian: the sample above writes videogames and estamos aqui buscando, where European Portuguese would write videojogos and estamos aqui a procurar. For viewers in Portugal, have a reader there check the file.

Can I translate to Portuguese and Spanish at once?

On Pro, yes: choose up to 5 languages in one run and download them together as a ZIP, one file per language (subtitles.pt.srt, subtitles.es.srt). The free plan translates into one language per run.

Can I translate an English YouTube transcript to Portuguese?

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

Can I upload the Portuguese 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 Portuguese free?

Yes, with a free account: Portuguese is one of the free languages (Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Japanese).
