How to use Bilingual Subtitle Alignment Workbench
- Paste the two language files using the same SRT or WebVTT input format.
- Set the second-language timing shift and inspect suggested matches.
- Enter a complete manual map when needed, including explicit unpaired cues.
- Confirm your review, then export and read each combined cue.
Example: Bilingual Subtitle Alignment Workbench
Pair one translated cue after shifting it earlier.
Options
- Timing offset and tolerance
- The offset shifts secondary cue timestamps. Tolerance bounds the center-time difference for suggestions; neither control verifies translation meaning.

Timing similarity is not a language match
Suggested matches compare cue times, not meaning. A translated sentence may span several shorter cues or use different segmentation. Review the texts and use a mapping such as 1:1+2 when two secondary cues belong with one primary cue.
Unpaired cues need a deliberate decision
A dash explicitly leaves a primary cue unpaired. Secondary cues not used by the map are omitted from the combined file and reported. Check those omissions before confirming review; a plausible-looking output can still leave out a sentence.
Questions about Bilingual Subtitle Alignment Workbench
Will it translate or verify the translation?
No. Supply both language texts and review whether their mapped meanings agree.
Can two translated cues match one primary cue?
Yes. A reviewed entry such as 1:1+2 combines secondary cues 1 and 2 with primary cue 1. Each secondary cue may be used only once.
