# Translate SRT subtitles into Spanish, French and German

**Use case:** 

Paste an SRT file (or give .srt/.vtt links) and get it translated cue by cue into three languages at once, with every timestamp kept, so the files drop straight into YouTube, Vimeo or a video editor. Sentences are translated in batches to keep their context. Each translated file is saved and linked in the results.

## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/tidytools/web-page-translator.md

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).
