Translate SRT Files with Google Translate

This n8n workflow streamlines the translation of SRT subtitle files from one language to another via the Google Translate API. It accepts an uploaded SRT file and a target language selection, parses the file to extract subtitle segments with their timings, translates only the text content to avoid altering timestamps, and reassembles everything into a valid SRT format for immediate download and use.

The primary benefits include significant time savings over manual translation or expensive services, error-free preservation of subtitle structure, and scalability for batch processing multiple files. It's cost-effective as it leverages Google's API with your own credentials, making it accessible for frequent use without per-project fees.

Perfect for content creators, video editors, educators, and marketers preparing international videos, tutorials, or films. Use cases range from localizing YouTube content and corporate training videos to dubbing indie films or globalizing e-learning materials.

Setup requires a Google Cloud project with Translate API enabled and OAuth credentials configured in the workflow. Easily customize by adding language options to the form dropdown using standard codes supported by Google Translate.
