Czech subtitles
Translate video to Czech with the subtitles built in
Upload a video in any language, pick Czech (Čeština), and download it with the subtitles burned in. Czech words are longer than their English equivalents and inflect heavily, so translated lines usually need more room.
What you get back
- Your video as an MP4 with the Czech subtitles burned into the picture, so they play everywhere without a separate file.
- A Czech SRT file you can upload wherever soft subtitles are supported.
- An SRT in the original spoken language, so you have both sides of the translation.
- Plain TXT transcripts of both, for show notes, blog posts, or search.
How Czech subtitles get made
Add your video
Upload an MP4, MOV, AVI, or MKV file, or paste a link from a supported source.
Choose Czech
The speech is transcribed in whatever language it was spoken, then translated into Czech.
Download the result
You get the video with Czech subtitles burned in, plus SRT and TXT files for both languages.
What is different about Czech subtitles
Czech words are longer than their English equivalents and inflect heavily, so translated lines usually need more room.
- Czech uses the háček (č, š, ž, ř, ě) alongside acute accents (á, í, ú). A subtitle font without full coverage drops them silently, which turns real words into misspellings.
- ř exists in almost no other language and is usually the first character to break in a font that only half-supports Czech.
- Nouns change form by case, so a name that appears one way in the source shows up in several forms across the translated file. That is the grammar working, not an inconsistency.
Formality in Czech
Czech separates informal ty from formal vy. Published video normally takes the formal form.

Can I get Czech subtitles on a video that is not in Czech?
Yes, that is the normal case. The speech is transcribed in whatever language it was spoken, and the transcript is translated into Czech. You do not have to tell it what the source language is.
Do I get a Czech subtitle file as well as the video?
Yes. Every job returns the video with subtitles burned in, plus SRT and TXT files for both the original language and Czech, so you can reuse the Czech text elsewhere.
Will Latin with diacritics characters render correctly in the video?
Yes. Subtitles are burned into the picture after the text has been shaped and laid out, so what you see in the editor is what ends up in the MP4. Accents and special letters survive the burn-in.
Can I fix the Czech wording before I download?
Yes, on the Pro and Studio plans. You can edit the text and timings in the subtitle editor, trim the clip, and reburn before downloading.
