LST — Local Subtitle Translate

Translate Netflix subtitles locally with Ollama, with customizable subtitle placement, sizing, realtime translation, and precompute.

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.
