Tagalog subtitles
Translate video to Tagalog with the subtitles built in
Yes. Upload your video, choose Tagalog, and watch a preview of up to 20 seconds with Tagalog subtitles before you pay. Buy the full video for $3 or subscribe. The original audio stays, and you get the MP4 plus SRT and TXT files in both languages.
Upload a video, pick Tagalog (Tagalog), and download it with the subtitles burned in. Tagalog usually runs longer than English, because verbs carry focus affixes and many phrases need more words.
What you get back
- Your video as an MP4 with the Tagalog subtitles burned into the picture, so they play everywhere without a separate file.
- A Tagalog 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 Tagalog subtitles
Tagalog usually runs longer than English, because verbs carry focus affixes and many phrases need more words.
- Everyday Filipino speech mixes in a lot of English (Taglish). Check that common English terms stay in English where Filipino speakers would use them.
- The written standard, Filipino, is based on Tagalog. Most viewers in the Philippines read either name as the same language.
- Verb affixes such as -um-, mag-, and -in change the focus of the sentence, so subject and object order can change from the English.
Formality in Tagalog
Politeness is shown with po and opo and with the plural kayo or ninyo for one person. Customer-facing video normally uses po.

Frequently asked questions
Can I get Tagalog subtitles on a video that is not in Tagalog?
Yes, that is the normal case. The speech is transcribed in whatever language it was spoken, and the transcript is translated into Tagalog. You do not have to tell it what the source language is.
Do I get a Tagalog subtitle file as well as the video?
Yes, on paid plans. You get the video with subtitles burned in, plus SRT and TXT files for both the original language and Tagalog, so you can reuse the Tagalog 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 Tagalog 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.
