NordIQ / Loki Studio
Neural translation powered by NLLB-200.
Perfect sync. Professional subtitles. One click.
You spend hours getting perfect timestamps in your source language, then translate and have to re-sync everything. Different word lengths in different languages means your captions drift off.
Google Translate API, DeepL Pro, Amazon Translate. They all charge per character. A 30-minute video transcript can cost $5-15 per language. Multiple languages? Multiple bills.
Transcribe in one app, export, import to another, translate, export again, import to video editor. Every step is another chance for timing to break.
Loki Studio does it all in one place, with timing preserved automatically.
Meta's state-of-the-art translation model, running locally on your machine. No API keys. No per-character fees.
Loki Studio maps translations back to original word timestamps. Your captions stay synced regardless of how sentence length changes across languages.
Translation runs on your GPU. Your content never leaves your computer. Perfect for confidential, copyrighted, or sensitive material.
No per-character fees. No monthly limits. Translate as much as you want, to as many languages as you need. One purchase, unlimited use.
Character-level timing for Chinese, Japanese, and Korean
Most caption tools break on CJK languages because they assume spaces between words. Chinese, Japanese, and Korean don't work that way.
Loki Studio uses character-level timing for CJK languages, so each character highlights at exactly the right moment in karaoke-style captions.

Character-level timing for all three
For creators working in Japanese, Korean, Chinese, and other languages whose meaning gets flattened the moment it's filtered through a third language.
Older pipelines translate by pivoting through English. Japanese goes to English, then English goes to Spanish. Each hop strips honorifics, idioms, register, and cultural context that doesn't have a tidy English equivalent. By the time it lands in Spanish, it sounds like neither the original nor a native Spanish speaker β it sounds like a translator's notes.
That's before any editorial layer decides your dialogue could use a rewrite.
NLLB-200 ("No Language Left Behind") was trained by Meta as a true many-to-many model. Japanese to Spanish is a direct translation. No pivot through English. No double-loss of meaning.
It runs entirely on your machine. Nobody between your words and your audience. What you said is what they read.
If you're a creator working in Japanese, Korean, or Chinese β your audience outside your home language is also your most underserved one. They're used to consuming content where the subtitles don't quite match the audio, where jokes don't land, where character voice feels muted. They notice. They talk about it. They make YouTube essays about it.
A direct, local, no-editorial-layer translation is the difference between "this is what the creator said, you can take it from here" and "this is what someone else decided you should hear."
Loki Studio's translation runs on your GPU, in your house, with no cloud step. The model goes language-to-language. The output is yours. The reading is theirs.
Three audiences who shouldn't have to compromise on what their words mean.
Vtubers, gaming channels, cooking shows, lecture series, fashion, music reaction channels β anyone publishing in Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Thai, Indonesian, Vietnamese, or Tagalog who wants their English (and Spanish, Portuguese, French) audience to hear what they actually said.
Lore channels, reaction videos, scene breakdowns, manga deep-dives, drama discussions. Your audience cares about accuracy. They'll notice when a translation softens what was said. Loki Studio gives you a transcription + direct-translation pipeline you can verify yourself, edit yourself, and ship without anyone else's editorial hand.
If your viewers can hear the original audio, the subtitles need to match it. Mismatches show up in the comments within hours. Direct translation keeps the contract: what the audio says, what the captions say, what your audience trusts.
