What's the Difference Between Global Subtitles and Captions? Follow

Global Subtitles vs. Captions

Our global subtitle service takes an English source video and creates captions in another language, such as Spanish, Chinese, or Portuguese. You can view the full list of languages we offer here. In other words, a subtitle order is English > Foreign Language.

Our caption service takes an English source video and creates English captions that can be toggled on and off by the viewer. In other words, a caption order is English > English.

What if my video is in a language other than English?

At this time we only offer subtitling for English source videos, though we may add other languages in the future. We do not translate foreign speech into English. You can learn more about how we treat foreign language in a video here.
