Languages with speaker labels

LanguageCodeSpeaker labelsNote
EnglishenYesOne code, en, covers every English accent. For short clips, set the language explicitly instead of relying on auto-detect, which has little audio to work from.
Spanish (Español)esYesOne code, es, covers Spain and Latin America. Catalan (ca), Galician (gl) and Basque (eu) have their own codes — pick those for recordings in those languages.
French (Français)frYesOne code, fr, covers France, Canada, Belgium and Switzerland. Breton (br) and Occitan (oc) are separate codes.
German (Deutsch)deYesOne code, de, covers Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Luxembourgish (lb) has its own code.
Portuguese (Português)ptYesOne code, pt, covers Brazil and Portugal. Galician (gl), close to Portuguese, has its own code.
Russian (Русский)ruYesRussian recordings use ru; Ukrainian (uk) and Belarusian (be) have their own codes, so set the language explicitly for those closely related languages.
Arabic (العربية)arYesArabic transcripts and subtitles read right to left; SRT and VTT store the text in reading order, so check that your video player renders right-to-left captions.
Hindi (हिन्दी)hiYesEveryday Hindi often mixes in English words; set the language to Hindi when Hindi carries most of the conversation.
Japanese (日本語)jaYesJapanese has no spaces between words, so subtitle lines are measured in characters. As a guide, Netflix's Japanese style guide caps a line at 13 full-width characters; AudioPod's export does not wrap cues to that limit, so adjust line breaks in your subtitle editor.
Korean (한국어)koYesKorean subtitle lines are measured in characters. As a guide, Netflix's Korean style guide caps a line at 16 characters; AudioPod's export does not wrap cues to that limit, so adjust line breaks in your subtitle editor.
Chinese (中文)zhYesMandarin uses zh; Cantonese has its own code, yue — choose it for Cantonese recordings, transcribed without speaker labels.
