Indonesian subtitles
Translate video to Indonesian with the subtitles built in
Upload a video in any language, pick Indonesian (Bahasa Indonesia), and download it with the subtitles burned in. Indonesian stays close to English in length, though affixes and repeated words can stretch a line.
What you get back
- Your video as an MP4 with the Indonesian subtitles burned into the picture, so they play everywhere without a separate file.
- A Indonesian 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.

What is different about Indonesian subtitles
Indonesian stays close to English in length, though affixes and repeated words can stretch a line.
- Indonesian verbs do not change for tense. Time is carried by separate words, so the translation adds a marker where English relied on a verb ending.
- Plurals are often formed by repeating the word, as in anak-anak. That is correct rather than a duplicated line.
- Prefixes and suffixes attach to roots and shift meaning substantially, which is where the difference between a rough and a careful translation becomes obvious to a native reader.
Formality in Indonesian
Anda is the neutral polite form for an audience you do not know; kamu is for people you do.

Can I get Indonesian subtitles on a video that is not in Indonesian?
Yes, that is the normal case. The speech is transcribed in whatever language it was spoken, and the transcript is translated into Indonesian. You do not have to tell it what the source language is.
Do I get a Indonesian 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 Indonesian, so you can reuse the Indonesian text elsewhere.
Will Latin 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 Indonesian 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.
