Translate YouTube Shorts to English — Add English Subtitles to Any Short
YouTube Shorts from non-English creators are some of the most entertaining content on the platform — but if you don't speak Turkish, Korean, or Arabic, you're missing everything. YouTube's auto-captions often don't work for shorter clips, and when they do, the translations are rough at best.
Subly (@subly1bot) translates any YouTube Shorts to English in minutes. It handles any source language — Turkish, Korean, Arabic, Persian, Vietnamese, Spanish, and more. Paste the link and get clean English subtitles.
How to Add English Subtitles to YouTube Shorts
- Copy the Shorts link: On YouTube, tap Share under any Short and copy the URL.
- Open Subly: Go to Telegram and find @subly1bot.
- Paste and translate: Send the Shorts URL. Select English as the output language.
- Done: Subly returns the video with English subtitles synchronized to the speech.
Source Languages Supported
Subly's speech recognition (powered by OpenAI Whisper) handles virtually every major language:
- Turkish → English: Drama highlights, travel vlogs, influencer content
- Korean → English: K-drama scenes, K-pop content, lifestyle clips
- Arabic → English: News clips, lifestyle, comedy
- Persian/Farsi → English: Entertainment and cultural content
- Vietnamese → English: Food, travel, local creators
- Spanish → English: Latin American and Spanish content
- Japanese → English: Anime clips, gaming, lifestyle
- Any other language — auto-detection handles it
Why This Is Better Than YouTube's Auto-Translation
YouTube's built-in translation works inconsistently on Shorts. It often: - Misses the first few seconds - Drops segments when speakers talk quickly - Produces literal translations that don't make sense
Subly uses a pipeline of Whisper transcription + AI translation that's been trained on conversational speech in each language. The result is natural English that matches how people actually speak.
