Length and layout
English is roughly the same length than the Arabic original. The captions switch from right to left to left to right; the editor and the burned-in export both lay English out in its own direction.

Translate Arabic video into English subtitles
Upload a video in Arabic. SubFlow transcribes the speech, translates every caption into English, and keeps both languages on the same timeline so you can review them side by side — then export subtitles, a subtitled video, or a English dub.

Getting English right
English subtitles read fastest when a line breaks after a clause, not mid-phrase — the editor lets you move the break without touching the timing.
Workflow
From Arabic to English in three steps.
Upload the Arabic video
Add a video or audio file. SubFlow transcribes the Arabic speech into timed captions.
Translate into English
Pick English as the target. Every caption is translated with the surrounding lines as context, then shown beside the original.
Review and export
Fix names and terms, split any caption that runs long, then export English or bilingual subtitles, a subtitled video, or a English dub.
Common questions
Arabic to English, answered.
Can SubFlow recognise Arabic speech automatically?
Yes. Leave the source on automatic detection or pick Arabic yourself. Dialectal Arabic is transcribed, but Modern Standard Arabic gives the cleanest result; strong regional dialects benefit from a quick review pass.
Will the English subtitles fit on screen?
English reads comfortably at 15–17 characters per second with about 42 characters per line. English is roughly the same length than the Arabic original. Review the longest captions and split any that crowd two lines.
Can I dub a Arabic video into English?
Yes, on the Pro plan. The English dub uses a en-US voice and is spoken from the translated subtitles, so correcting a line in the editor changes what the voice says.
Can I export Arabic and English together?
Yes. Export the English subtitles alone, the original Arabic, or a bilingual SRT with both on each caption — or burn either into the video.
