CaptionHub is a multimedia localization tool for multilingual subtitling, voiceover, and on-screen text localization. With Smartling’s CaptionHub Connector, you can request translations for your content directly from CaptionHub or within the Smartling dashboard. Once translations are completed, they are automatically delivered back to your CaptionHub environment.
Please note that this connector is a paid product. For pricing information, please reach out to your Smartling Customer Success Manager.
Supported content types
The connector ingests content from CaptionHub projects. These projects are a set of captions and subtitles associated with one particular video.
CaptionHub asset list
Once you have connected your CaptionHub account, your content will appear in the CaptionHub tab of your Smartling project.
The asset list includes the following columns:
- Title: the title of the project in CaptionHub
- Status (Smartling): the asset's translation status in Smartling
When your CaptionHub content is pulled into Smartling for translation, it is imported as a WebVTT file. Each asset listed in your asset list corresponds to a WebVTT file in Smartling that contains the subtitles for that video. Once translations for an asset are completed for a locale, the connector delivers the translations back to CaptionHub.
The file name in Smartling follows this format:[Project name]-[Content type (PROJECT)]-[project id].vtt
The project ID is visible in CaptionHub within the project's URL and in the asset list under the asset name.
