What Stays Protected

Subtitles (ASS) files carry structure that must never change — cue timing, inline tags and line breaks. Our AI locks them automatically.

ASS subtitle translation without breaking override blocks

Advanced SubStation Alpha is built on styling: {\an8} position overrides, {\c&H00FF00&} colors, and \N hard line breaks do the heavy lifting that makes anime and styled subs look right. Translate the text with a generic tool and those blocks break, dropping every cue back to default position and style.

LocaFile AI locks override blocks and styling tokens before translation and restores them byte-safe, so the only thing that changes is the language. One file, one pass, from $19.

Advanced SubStation Alpha translation for anime and styled subs

ASS fans are format-loyal for a reason: dialogue, signs, and karaoke all live in the same styled event structure. Our parser keeps Dialogue event fields and style references intact while translating only the display text.

Translate an ASS file to 28+ languages in one pass, preserve karaoke and typesetting structure, and drop the result straight back into your project. No login, pay-per-pass from $19.

Why not just use YouTube or TikTok auto-translate?

Platform auto-translate doesn't just stay locked in the player — it also strips styling on the way in. ASS exists precisely because plain captions aren't enough: position overrides, karaoke timing, sign placement. No platform export preserves any of that.

Translate your ASS here with every override block locked and restored byte-safe, and keep the styled result for fansub releases, festival screenings, or wherever the file actually gets played. AI-translated — label it as such. One file, one pass, from $19.

Translate ASS subtitles — FAQ

Are {\an8} position and {\c&H00FF00&} color override blocks safe?

Yes. Override blocks are locked byte-safe before translation and restored after — positioning, color, and font effects survive exactly as authored. From $19 per file, no login.

Will \N hard line breaks be preserved?

Yes. Hard and soft line breaks are retained per cue so the visual layout of each subtitle stays intact.

Do you support SDH content and karaoke tags?

Yes. SDH caption content is translated naturally, and karaoke timing tags (\k / \kf) are locked and preserved so syllable timing is untouched.

Why not just use YouTube or TikTok auto-translate?

Platform auto-translate can't be exported as a file and strips styling anyway. ASS exists for styling — position overrides, karaoke, typeset signs — and none of that survives a platform round-trip. Translating the ASS file directly keeps it all byte-safe (AI-translated; label it as such).

How much does it cost to translate an ASS file?

One ASS file = one pass, from $19 flat. Word count is shown upfront before payment — no per-word billing.

Do I need a login, and can I translate to multiple languages?

No login required. One ASS file can be translated into several target languages in a single pass across 28+ languages.
