AI Subtitles in 45+ Languages: Hinglish, Banglish, Roman Urdu, Arabizi & More
Desi Subtitles is built first for Indian creators who need Roman Hinglish and Devanagari Hindi that stay editable. The same studio also transcribes Bengali, Telugu, Tamil, Marathi, Gujarati, Kannada, Malayalam, Urdu, Punjabi, Arabic, English, and dozens of other spoken languages — with Roman and native script options marked Desi in the language picker.
Built for Hinglish and Indian languages first
Most generic subtitle tools treat Indian languages as either native-script-only or an English translation problem. Creators often need something more specific: Roman modes like Hinglish, Banglish, and Tanglish that keep English words in English, plus native scripts when the publish target expects them.
- Roman Hinglish, Banglish, Tanglish, Tenglish, Gujlish, Kanglish, Manglish, and Roman Marathi for social and Latin-friendly edits
- Devanagari Hindi and Marathi, plus Bengali, Telugu, Tamil, Gujarati, Kannada, and Malayalam native scripts
- English transcription when the source audio is already English
- Dozens of other languages for global exports

Hindi audio → Hinglish: "main aaj shoot pe late hoon"
Same audio → Hindi: "मैं आज शूट पे लेट हूँ". Bengali, Tamil, Telugu, and other first-wave languages use the same Roman vs native chip pattern.
How to choose the right language in the editor
- 01
Upload audio or video
Import the file you want captioned. Desi Subtitles works from common audio and video formats in the browser.
- 02
Select the spoken language, then the script
Match the spoken language. For Hindi, Bengali, Tamil, Telugu, Marathi, Gujarati, Kannada, or Malayalam, use the Style chips to pick Roman or native script. For other languages, the usual writing system is used.
- 03
Generate and review cues
Correct names, brands, numbers, and slang on the timeline. Forced alignment helps keep word timing close to the audio.
- 04
Export for your next edit
Download SRT for Premiere, Resolve, Final Cut, or CapCut, or export a transparent layer, green-screen layer, or captioned video.
New accounts include 30 free audio minutes so you can test Hinglish, Banglish, Tanglish, and other languages on your own clips before buying a pack.
When to use Roman vs native vs English
- Use a Roman mode (Hinglish, Banglish, Tanglish, …) when the audience or editor prefers Latin captions and English loanwords should stay in English spelling.
- Use the native script when the publish target expects Devanagari, Bengali, Tamil, Telugu, Gujarati, Kannada, or Malayalam orthography.
- Match the spoken language — do not rely on Hindi mode to rewrite regional speech.
- Use English when the audio is English. Do not pick English to "translate" other speech into English captions in one step.
Exports that work across languages
Language choice affects the text and script inside each cue. Export options stay the same: editable SRT for NLEs and platforms, or styled caption renders when the text must appear on every player.
- SRT for YouTube, Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut, and CapCut
- Transparent or green-screen caption layers for composite workflows
- Captioned MP4 when you need burned-in styling in one file

Frequently asked questions
How many languages does Desi Subtitles support?
Desi Subtitles supports 48 subtitle language modes, including Roman Hinglish, Banglish, Tanglish, Tenglish, Gujlish, Kanglish, Manglish, Roman Marathi, Roman Urdu, Roman Punjabi, Arabizi, matching native scripts, English, and many European and Asian languages.
Is Hinglish the same as Hindi?
Hinglish mode is for Hindi / Hinglish speech written in the Latin alphabet, with English words kept in English. Hindi mode writes the same kind of speech in Devanagari.
What does the Desi chip mean in Audio Language?
Desi marks spoken languages that offer both Roman and native script Style chips — for example Hindi (Hinglish/हिंदी), Bengali (Banglish/বাংলা), Urdu, Punjabi, and Arabic (Arabizi).
Can I generate Banglish, Tanglish, Roman Urdu, or Arabizi?
Yes. Choose the spoken language, then pick the Roman script chip. Native-script modes are available on the same languages.
Does picking English translate other languages?
No. English mode expects English speech and transcribes it. For Hindi or Hinglish source video that needs English captions, review a source transcript first, then translate.
Can I export multilingual subtitles as SRT?
Yes. After generating and correcting cues in any supported language, export an SRT or a captioned video from the same editor.
