Portuguese

A general option when the audience is mixed

The two differ in everyday words, such as "ônibus" and "autocarro" for bus or "time" and "equipa" for team, and in how people address each other. Choosing the variant matters most when you translate into Portuguese.

Portuguese speech to subtitles

Brazilian and European Portuguese both transcribe well. European Portuguese, with its reduced vowels, is slightly harder for speech recognition when spoken fast, so a quick conversation from Lisbon is worth a closer read than a slow lecture from São Paulo. Names, places and English terms are the words to check first.

A large audience for Portuguese

Brazil is one of YouTube's largest markets, so a Portuguese subtitle track can open an English video to a big audience. Portuguese usually runs longer than English, so translated cues carry more text. Each cue is one stretch of speech on a single line; split crowded ones at a pause in a subtitle editor, keeping the times in order. Subtitle readability suggests limits.

Using the file

Upload the SRT in YouTube Studio under the Portuguese variant that matches it, or import it into an editor as a caption track. Accented letters and ç are stored as UTF-8 and display correctly in current players. To translate the speech as a voice track instead, see the Portuguese video translator.

What Portuguese subtitles cost

Subtitles cost 1 credit per minute with a 5-credit minimum per file, and the 100 free credits from signing in with Google cover 100 minutes. Top-ups are charged in Indian rupees at the day's exchange rate through Cashfree Payments (UPI, cards or netbanking), about ₹96 for 1,000 credits.
