GNOME Subtitles is a free subtitle editor for the GNOME desktop on Linux. It supports subtitle editing, translation, synchronization, video preview, and the most common text-based subtitle formats, with SRT export. Editing shortcuts include bold, italic, underline, find, find next, find previous, and replace. Video controls cover play or pause, rewind, forward, and seeking to a time or selection. The interface is listed as GNOME and GTK+, and the project names more than two dozen interface languages, including Arabic, English, French, German, and Spanish. It is released under the GNU General Public License version 2 or later. SourceForge lists version 1.8, dated 2022-06-24, as the latest downloadable release, in a gnome-subtitles-1.8.tar.xz archive. That release changed the build system to Meson and fixed audio and video playback issues. Gtk-sharp and Gstreamer-sharp libraries are stated as bundled. Bugs are reported through GNOME’s bug system.
