In this episode, we explore how Vimeo built a customized AI system for subtitle translation—one that goes beyond basic text translation to tackle the much more challenging problem of synchronizing language with timing. We discuss how the team designed a split-brain architecture to separate translation quality from timing constraints, and how they implemented fallback mechanisms to ensure the system remains reliable in real-world scenarios.
