YouTube subtitles that grow watch time and reach
Accurate same-language captions and translated subtitle tracks for channels, delivered as upload-ready SRT files on your publishing cadence.
Professional YouTube subtitling replaces error-prone auto-captions with accurate, timed subtitles and adds translated tracks that open your catalogue to international audiences. Orion Translations subtitles YouTube content in more than 25 languages, delivering upload-ready SRT files within 24 to 72 hours on a rolling channel schedule.
Your back catalogue is an untapped international audience
Every video you have published is finished work that speaks one language. A translated subtitle track re-releases it to a new audience at a fraction of production cost: the Spanish-speaking world for English channels, the English-speaking world for Spanish creators, without filming a single new minute.
And the base layer matters too: auto-captions mangle names, brands and fast speech in ways viewers screenshot. Professional same-language subtitles protect the channel’s credibility in muted autoplay, embeds and accessibility contexts, where a large share of viewing actually happens.

How much does YouTube subtitling cost?
Per video minute: same-language at the base rate, translated tracks per language, with rolling channel batches priced below one-off orders. A ten-minute weekly video with one translated track is a modest monthly line item against the audience it adds. Sample video to info@oriontranslations.com; fixed per-minute pricing within one business day.
Which language track first? Ask your analytics
YouTube Studio shows where your impressions and viewers already come from: subtitle toward existing demand rather than guessing. For most English-language channels Spanish is the highest-return first track, with the Castilian versus Latin American choice made from your geography data, the same variant logic as all our English-Spanish subtitling work.
Beyond YouTube: the same content, every platform
Channel content rarely stays on one platform: vertical cuts for TikTok and Reels run through social media video subtitling with platform-fitted styling, and long-form work headed for broadcast or streaming picks up compliant formats from our subtitling agency service.
Every upload, understood by every audience you want.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Auto-captions garble names, technical terms and anything spoken fast, and viewers judge the channel for it; professionally subtitled videos hold viewers longer and read correctly in embeds, muted feeds and quiet environments. For translated subtitles the gap is bigger still: auto-translate compounds recognition errors with translation errors.
- Per video minute, with same-language subtitles at the base rate and translated subtitle tracks quoted per language. Channels on a publishing calendar get rolling batch rates that bring per-video cost down substantially. Send a typical video for a fixed per-minute quote within one business day.
- Measurably: subtitle tracks in Spanish, English or other languages open your existing videos to audiences who would never watch them otherwise, and YouTube surfaces videos to viewers whose language matches available tracks. Spanish is usually the highest-return first track for English channels, and English for Spanish-language channels.
- SRT files per language, named and ready for YouTube Studio’s subtitle upload, plus burned-in versions on request for Shorts and cross-posting. If you prefer, walk-through instructions come with the first delivery; upload takes about a minute per track.
- Yes, that is the standard arrangement: send videos as they are edited and receive subtitle tracks within 24 to 72 hours, with a channel glossary keeping your recurring terms, catchphrases and product names consistent across every upload and language.
- Yes, with the format’s own rules: bigger type areas, fewer words per line, faster cuts. Burned-in styled captions are the norm for Shorts and cross-platform vertical clips, delivered alongside the SRT for the main upload, consistent with our social media video work.
- More than 25, with English-Spanish in both directions as the highest-volume pair, including the Castilian versus Latin American choice by audience analytics. We recommend starting with one or two tracks chosen from your channel data rather than paying for ten speculative languages.
