Norwegian subtitles
Translate video to Norwegian with the subtitles built in
Upload a video in any language, pick Norwegian (Norsk), and download it with the subtitles burned in. Norwegian tracks English closely, with compounds occasionally forcing a break.
What you get back
- Your video as an MP4 with the Norwegian subtitles burned into the picture, so they play everywhere without a separate file.
- A Norwegian 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 Norwegian subtitles get made
Add your video
Upload an MP4, MOV, AVI, or MKV file, or paste a link from a supported source.
Choose Norwegian
The speech is transcribed in whatever language it was spoken, then translated into Norwegian.
Download the result
You get the video with Norwegian subtitles burned in, plus SRT and TXT files for both languages.
What is different about Norwegian subtitles
Norwegian tracks English closely, with compounds occasionally forcing a break.
- Norway has two written standards, Bokmål and Nynorsk. Bokmål is what most people read and what the translation targets.
- Æ, Ø, and Å are separate letters that sort after Z and need real font coverage.
- Compounds are written as one word, and splitting one with a space changes the meaning. It is a common enough error to be worth a look in the editor.
Formality in Norwegian
du works for everyone. Formal address has essentially disappeared from written Norwegian.

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