Swedish subtitles
Translate video to Swedish with the subtitles built in
Upload a video in any language, pick Swedish (Svenska), and download it with the subtitles burned in. Swedish tracks English closely until compounds appear, which is where lines break.
What you get back
- Your video as an MP4 with the Swedish subtitles burned into the picture, so they play everywhere without a separate file.
- A Swedish 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 Swedish subtitles
Swedish tracks English closely until compounds appear, which is where lines break.
- Å, Ä, and Ö are separate letters at the end of the alphabet rather than decorated vowels.
- Compounds are written as one word, and splitting one with a space changes what the sentence means. It is a common enough mistake in Sweden to have earned its own name.
- The definite article is a suffix on the noun rather than a separate word, which is part of why Swedish lines stay compact.
Formality in Swedish
du works for every audience. Formal address left ordinary Swedish decades ago.

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