How it works for French

Upload an English .srt or .vtt file, or a season as a zip. Cues travel to the model in batches of 32 so a sentence that spans two cues is translated as one thought. Every French cue then passes thirteen structural checks; whatever fails goes back with the exact complaint attached, and an editor pass sweeps the whole file for register and idiom. You download the subtitles and a quality report, and the upload is deleted.

What the French profile checks

• « … » quotation marks by instruction, and the closing » counts as sentence-ending.
• Same-alphabet guard: 57 French function words required, 32 known intrusions blocked.
• French runs about 2.1% of cues over the 24 characters-per-second ceiling after compression, against 7.5% for the English source.
• Scored 48.63 chrF++ against a human translation of four episodes, with the most reference units of any language but Italian.

Sound labels, from the table

Labels for the deaf and hard of hearing are resolved from a fixed Frenchtable before the model sees the text, so they are never invented. Three entries, exactly as the table renders them:

[LAUGHS]

[RIT]

[DOOR CLOSES]

[LA PORTE SE FERME]

[PHONE RINGS]

[LE TÉLÉPHONE SONNE]

Is French measured?

French has a measured baseline: 48.63 chrF++ against a professional human translation, over 2,069 aligned units. That figure is what every change to the pipeline has to beat for French. It is not comparable to another language's figure; here is why.

Price and time

One credit translates about 20,000 characters of dialogue, roughly a 25-minute episode; a feature film is about three. Credits are $1.25 each in packs, the first episode is free, and there is no subscription. An episode takes a few minutes; you get an email when it is ready.
