Translate Videos to Farsi (Persian) Subtitles — YouTube, TikTok, Telegram

Translate Videos to Farsi (Persian) Subtitles — YouTube, TikTok, Telegram

Accurate Farsi subtitles on any video — delivered through Telegram in under 5 minutes

Iranian audiences have a specific problem that most translation tools ignore: Farsi content demand is enormous, Telegram usage is among the highest in the world, but dedicated video translation tools that output correct Persian script with proper RTL formatting are almost nonexistent.

Subly was built for exactly this use case. It lives inside Telegram — where Iranian users already spend their time — and produces accurate Farsi subtitles burned into any video. No VPN-dependent web service, no app download, no registration beyond your Telegram account.

How to Translate Videos to Farsi

Step 1: Open @subly1bot on Telegram

Step 2: Paste any video URL (YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, or direct video link)

Step 3: Choose Farsi as your target language

Step 4: Receive your video with Persian subtitles in 3–5 minutes

The AI handles transcription, translation into Persian script, subtitle timing, and video rendering. The result is a shareable video with burned-in Farsi text — ready to forward through Telegram channels or save locally.

Why Generic Translation Tools Fail for Farsi

Wrong script output: Some tools output Finglish (Farsi written in Latin characters) or use Arabic script rules that differ from Persian conventions. Subly outputs correct رسم‌الخط فارسی-influenced Persian script as used in Iran.

Right-to-left errors: Farsi text runs right to left. Subtitle tools designed for LTR languages often corrupt the alignment, causing Farsi text to appear reversed or overlapping with video elements. Subly handles RTL rendering correctly at the video level.

No Telegram integration: Most web-based tools require opening a browser, uploading files, waiting for email links — workflows that don't fit how Iranian users actually consume content (primarily through Telegram channels and groups). Subly works entirely within Telegram.

Poor colloquial Persian: Conversational Farsi (محاوره‌ای) differs significantly from formal written Persian (رسمی). Generic AI tools often produce stiff, unnatural translations. Subly's Gemini 2.0 model adapts to the register of the source content.

Supported Video Sources for Farsi Translation

• YouTube — documentaries, tech talks, academic lectures, entertainment
• TikTok — international short-form content in any source language
• Instagram — Reels and video posts
• Direct upload — MP4, MKV, MOV up to 2GB (upload directly in Telegram chat)
• Telegram video links — video files shared in other channels

Use Cases: Iranian and Persian-Speaking Users Love Subly For

Technology & Startups: English-language tech conferences (Y Combinator talks, TED, product demos) translated to Farsi for Iranian engineering and startup communities. Subly is popular in the Iranian tech diaspora who want to share English content with Persian-speaking colleagues.

Education: Translate Khan Academy, MIT OpenCourseWare, and Coursera videos to Farsi. University students following international curricula use Subly to make content accessible to classmates or family members.

Entertainment: Translate Korean dramas, American series, anime, and international content that isn't available with official Persian dubbing. Iranian audiences have strong demand for Korean and Turkish content.

Business: Translate investor presentations, competitor product demos, and industry analysis videos from English to Farsi for team briefings.

News & Analysis: Translate foreign news segments and political commentary that Persian-language outlets haven't covered yet.

Telegram Channel Operators: Content creators who run Farsi-language Telegram channels (a dominant content format in Iran) use Subly to translate foreign videos and publish them for their subscribers.

Why Telegram-Native Matters for Iranian Users

Telegram has over 50 million active users in Iran — one of the highest penetration rates globally. It functions as a primary news source, entertainment platform, content distribution network, and communication tool simultaneously.

Subly's architecture mirrors this: the bot, the mini app, and the delivery all happen inside Telegram. You never need to leave the platform to use it. This is not an accident — it's why Subly works where web-based translation tools don't.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does Subly use Persian script (رسم‌الخط فارسی) or Arabic script? Subly outputs standard Persian script as used in Iran — not Arabic script (which differs in several letters). The output is correct for Iranian Persian.

Q: Can I translate Farsi content into other languages? Yes — Subly works in both directions. Translate Farsi-language content to English, Russian, Arabic, Turkish, or 40+ other languages. This is useful for Iranian diaspora creators who want to reach international audiences.

Q: What's the transcription accuracy for Farsi source audio? Subly uses OpenAI Whisper for transcription — Farsi is supported with good accuracy. Regional accents (Tehran, Isfahan, Mashhad) are handled well. For heavily accented or low-quality audio, accuracy may vary.

Q: Does Subly work without a VPN? The Telegram bot itself is accessible in Iran through Telegram's infrastructure. For the best experience we recommend using your normal Telegram setup.

Q: Can I translate a full movie or documentary? Yes, in segments. Process each section individually. Starter plan (120 min/day) can cover a full documentary in one session.
