How it works

Step 1

Upload the Japanese subtitle file

Bring the original Japanese subtitle track from a fansub release, ripped disc, or your own extracted file.

Step 2

Translate into English

Langelic uses surrounding cues for context so names, recurring phrases, and tone stay consistent across the episode.

Step 3

Export and watch

Download English-only or dual-language Japanese/English subtitles and load them into VLC, mpv, Plex, or Jellyfin.

Why Langelic

Built with anime in mind

ASS files, styled signage, and chatty dialogue tracks are part of the everyday workflow.

Readable English, not gloss

Output aims for natural English line breaks and reading speed, not literal substitution that nobody can keep up with.

Original on standby

Dual-language exports keep the Japanese line right next to the translation if you are studying or watching with a partner.

Common questions

Which Japanese subtitle formats are supported? +

SRT, ASS, and SSA uploads. ASS is the typical format for anime fansubs and is fully supported.

Yes. Translated cues use the original Japanese timestamps and Langelic reflows the English so it still reads at a sane pace.

Can I get Japanese and English shown together? +

Yes. Export a dual-language subtitle file with Japanese and English stacked in one track for study or shared viewing.
