Brazilian Portuguese subtitles that viewers can actually read

Reach Brazilian audiences on YouTube, social media, e-learning platforms and events with natural Portuguese subtitles. We translate your English subtitles or transcripts into Brazilian Portuguese — and Portuguese videos into English.

Subtitling is not ordinary translation

Good subtitles must be short enough to read in the time they are on screen, split at natural points and synchronised with speech. Portuguese text is often 15–30% longer than English, so a literal translation quickly breaks reading-speed limits. Our native Brazilian translators condense meaning without losing it, keep the speaker’s tone and use the informal “você” style most Brazilian viewers expect.

What we subtitle

  • YouTube and social media videos, reels and ads
  • E-learning courses, webinars and training videos
  • Corporate presentations, product demos and explainer videos
  • Documentaries, interviews and short films
  • Event recordings and conference talks

Formats and workflow

  1. Send your video link and, if available, the English subtitle file (SRT, VTT, SBV) or transcript.
  2. We translate into Brazilian Portuguese, adapting line length and splits.
  3. A second native linguist reviews the subtitles against the video.
  4. You receive a ready-to-upload SRT/VTT file — or a different format on request.

If you do not have subtitles yet, tell us: we can discuss transcription and timing as part of the quote.

Portuguese SEO for video

Subtitles also help discovery. We can translate your video titles, descriptions and tags into Brazilian Portuguese with search terms Brazilians actually use — the same approach we use for website localization.

Pricing

Subtitle translation is usually priced per video minute or per word of the subtitle file, depending on whether timing work is needed. Send a link for a free quote.
