One language per export
Some broadcasters show two subtitle lines at once, one per language. Titro doesn’t: each export carries one language, either as spoken or fully translated. On a phone screen that is usually the better result anyway, because two lines cover twice the picture and take twice as long to read. When you need both languages, export two versions from the same project — one for the family group in Kosovo, one for the colleagues in Munich — or burn one language in and add the other as an .srt where the player allows it.
What machine translation gets right, and what to read for
Straightforward speech — instructions, announcements, a product explained, news from home — translates well. Read more carefully where meaning lives in the wording: jokes, proverbs, family terms of address, regional expressions and anything sarcastic. Place names and personal names are worth a glance in the translated version too. Every translated subtitle opens in the same editor, so a better phrase is a tap away. If the original video mixes languages on purpose, ask whether to translate at all; the trade-offs are in the post on subtitles for mixed-language videos.
How translated minutes are counted
Translated minutes count double. A five-minute video translated into one other language uses ten minutes of the plan; a one-minute clip uses two. On Creator, at €4.99 a month for 300 minutes, that still leaves room for a translated clip most days. Studio, at €29 a month, has no practical limit on minutes (fair use) for teams publishing in two languages every day. Your first video is free up to three minutes with no card; it carries a small Titro mark, which paid plans don’t.
Albanian subtitles that read like Albanian
Albanian has two main dialects and a diaspora that drops English and German into the middle of a sentence — exactly where subtitles usually go wrong. Titro recognises Gheg and Tosk, keeps English or German words that are dropped mid-sentence, and with the personal dictionary remembers how you spell the names you correct. How that works, and where Albanian subtitling usually goes wrong, is on the Albanian subtitles page.
Where translated videos end up
The family WhatsApp group, where burned-in subtitles survive every forward. TikTok and Reels, where a second version reaches the half of your audience the first one missed. YouTube, where a translated .srt adds a second subtitle language to the same upload, as described on the YouTube subtitle generator page. And interviews and podcasts with guests from both sides, covered on subtitles for interviews.
