Length and layout
Russian is about 10–20% longer than the English original. Both languages are written left to right, so the layout does not change — only the wording and line length do.

Translate English video into Russian subtitles

Getting Russian right
Russian has formal and informal 'you' (вы/ты); the translation defaults to the neutral вы, and the editor makes it quick to switch for a casual channel.
Workflow
From English to Russian in three steps.
Upload the English video
Add a video or audio file. SubFlow transcribes the English speech into timed captions.
Translate into Russian
Pick Russian 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 Russian or bilingual subtitles, a subtitled video, or a Russian dub.
Common questions
English to Russian, answered.
Can SubFlow recognise English speech automatically?
Yes. Leave the source on automatic detection or pick English yourself. Accents, fast speech and overlapping speakers are handled well by the Whisper model; background music is the most common cause of a dropped line.
Will the Russian subtitles fit on screen?
Russian reads comfortably at 15–17 characters per second with about 42 characters per line. Russian is about 10–20% longer than the English original. Review the longest captions and split any that crowd two lines.
Can I dub a English video into Russian?
Yes, on the Pro plan. The Russian dub uses a ru-RU voice and is spoken from the translated subtitles, so correcting a line in the editor changes what the voice says.
Can I export English and Russian together?
Yes. Export the Russian subtitles alone, the original English, or a bilingual SRT with both on each caption — or burn either into the video.
