This format stores times as frame numbers, so it has no meaning without a rate. We don't guess one.
Translate VTT subtitles cue for cue: drop the .vtt file, pick a language, and download a WebVTT file with the same cues and the same timings in the new language. Italics, and the settings that place a cue on screen, stay with their cues, so the file plays in a web page's video player just as the original did. It downloads as VTT unless you pick SRT or another format.
Questions
Do the timings change?
No. Every cue keeps its start and end time, and nothing is merged or split, so the translated file has as many cues as the one you dropped.
Can I translate YouTube's VTT captions?
Yes. If you still have the video's link, translate YouTube video is quicker: paste the link there, and each line comes out once, not twice as in YouTube's downloaded auto-caption files.
Can I turn it into SRT at the same time?
Yes. Pick SRT in the format list before you download, or convert the VTT later with VTT to SRT.
Can I keep both languages?
Yes. "Original and translation in one file" puts each cue's original text and its translation together, one above the other.
Is it free?
Yes, with no account, and it uses none of your transcription minutes. A file can hold up to 5,000 lines and 2 MB of text.
