Why Chinese subtitles specifically
Chinese subtitle files are needed in both directions: Chinese content going out to global platforms, and foreign content coming in. Simplified and Traditional are separate deliverables, not one file with a font setting.
The part most tools get wrong
Chinese is double-byte with no word spacing, so reading speed per cue is roughly double the Latin equivalent. Most machine output is far too short per cue and reads as a series of fragments rather than sentences.
That is why this is not a one-click converter. Every file goes through machine translation first, then a manual pass on cue length, line breaks and reading speed before it reaches you.
Reading speed in Chinese
Chinese is measured at roughly 9 characters per second and 16 characters per line. Because each character is a syllable and often a word, a cue that looks visually balanced can still be unreadable at speed.
Chinese subtitle conventions most converters ignore
- Full-width punctuation, and no space around Latin words inside Chinese text.
- Simplified and Traditional are different files — converting with a font or a character map produces wrong vocabulary, not just wrong glyphs.
- Line breaks follow semantic units; a mechanical half-split cuts idioms in two.
What you get back
- The same number of cues, in the same order, with the same cue numbers.
- Timestamps untouched — only the text between the timing lines is replaced.
- Line breaks re-cut for Chinese reading speed, not inherited from English.
- A file that opens in VLC without a single warning.
That button opens your own email app. If nothing happens when you click it, just write to gwdaeoi@outlook.com and attach the file — same thing, no account, no form.
Questions
Is the checker really free?
Yes, and it does not upload your file anywhere. It parses the subtitle locally in your browser, reports what is wrong, and hands you back a corrected .srt. If that is all you needed, take the file and go.
How long does one file take?
Under 24 hours for anything up to 60 minutes of runtime. A full season is usually 3–5 days depending on how many languages you need.
Can you match an existing Chinese subtitle style?
Yes — send one episode you already like and I will match its capitalisation, punctuation and line-break habits across the rest.
What if the timing is off?
It will not be, because timestamps are never regenerated. If a specific cue still plays wrong, tell me the cue number and it gets fixed the same day.
Do you keep my files?
No. The original and the translation are deleted 24 hours after delivery.
