WebVTT File Localization and Internationalization

Soluling home Document home

WebVTT (Wikipedia) is a subtitle file format (.vtt) that web browsers use with the HTML <track> element. Soluling Desktop and Soluling Cloud support WebVTT files.

WEBVTT

NOTE This is a sample

00:00:01.600 --> 00:00:03.200
Hello world.

00:00:04.900 --> 00:00:06.999
This is a sample subtitle.

The file starts with the WEBVTT header. Each subtitle has a time range and one or more lines of text. Soluling localizes the text. The notes (NOTE) are not localized. Read subtitle localization to learn how to localize subtitle files with Soluling Desktop and Soluling Cloud, and when to use segmentation.

Samples

GitHub and <data-dir>\Samples\WebVTT contain the following samples. Each .ntp file is a Soluling project that localizes the subtitle file into Finnish.

File	Description	Notes
Simple.vtt Simple.ntp	Three subtitles that each contain complete sentences.	Try this first!
SimpleSegment.vtt SimpleSegment.ntp	The same text as above, but the sentences continue over the subtitles. The project uses segmentation.
Segment.vtt Segment.ntp	A longer subtitle file that uses segmentation and a maximum line length.
Note.vtt Note.ntp	Subtitles and notes.
