About LST — Local Subtitle Translate
LST — Local Subtitle Translate adds locally generated translations to Netflix subtitles.
LST connects to an Ollama server running on your computer and lets you choose or download a model. Subtitle translation can happen in real time, or an episode can be precomputed and cached before playback.
Features:
• Local Ollama translation with TranslateGemma 4B as the default model
• Installed-model selection and model downloads
• Real-time subtitle translation
• Full-track precomputation
• Local translation cache with per-episode storage management
• Independent Netflix, original, and translated subtitle visibility
• Customizable subtitle placement, sizing, and timing
• Persistent in-player status and quick-settings pill
• Tabbed settings navigation
• Optional status messages and detailed diagnostics
LST does not require a cloud translation service. By default, subtitle text is sent only to Ollama running at http://localhost:11434.
Developer comments
I built LST after moving to Japan and running into a surprisingly common problem: a lot of anime available here only includes Japanese subtitles.
LST started as a way to make those shows easier to follow by translating subtitles locally with my own Ollama models instead of relying on a cloud translation service.
Translation is performed through a user-configured Ollama server, which defaults to http://localhost:11434. LST does not use a developer-operated translation service, analytics service, or telemetry backend.
A compatible Ollama installation and at least one installed model are required.
LST currently focuses on Netflix subtitle translation and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Netflix.
