Hi, I am trying to create caption in Bahasa Indonesia for a Video. But Premiere Pro auto caption allows only few languages such as English, Mandarin, Spanish, German, French and Japanese, etc.
It will be helpful if Bahasa Indonesia is available for this feature because my video editing project is in Bahasa Indonesia.

I'm editing a documentary film set in Java, Indonesia, with interviews in Java and Indonesian that need subtitling in English.
I have a translation from the director, with time stamps referencing the audio, but before I started the very lengthy process of manually entering the subtitles for hours of interview footage (naturally, with English I would just use the automatic caption creation tool) I wanted to see if anyone else had any other more efficient suggestions for how to input the translated subtitles?
The programmers are working on tools that may help this process in the Beta version. But it is not ready for prime time.
You are wise to think about this work flow at the beginning. A number of users conclude that a horribly time-consuming copy and paste is in their future. But it is often based on the specifics of what they already have - in this case, the director's translation. Does it have any timecodes? Is it formatted in a way that would allow you to merge it with a timecode document?
I would try two things: use speech to text and ignore the fact that the words will make no sense. Does this produce timecodes that work with the director's translation?
Use Subtitle Edit or similar (it is PC Only). Import the director's translation as text and use the PR "English" speech to text for the timecodes. See the discussion of Subtitle Edit in this post:
Even if that doesn't work, you can let Subtitle Edit create timecodes. Export srt and import that to PR. Adjust the timecodes.
Here's an outrageous idea I had not considered before: record someone reading the English translation. Put it on its own audio track, and use the speech to text to create the translation.
Some great ideas here, thank you. Sadly the text import doesn't suffice so what I septn about 6 hours doing yesterday was:
- Run transcription and created captions based on the 'nonsense' english Premiere has tried to create from the Javanese (this made for some very funny reading I must say)
- As you say, because the time code for much of the captions was largely correct (though not enough of it to be consistent) I then (quite painstakingly) went through cross-referencing my translation from the director (with rough time stamps peppered throughout) and adding the correct English subs to the video. To give you an idea, I was working quite solidly and quickly and it took 6 hours to sub a 20-minute interview clip. This was especially challenging because I felt it was important to pay attention to the detail of WHEN specific phrases were spoken, in order ot match subs with the physical emphasis and tone of the interview.
One more interview today and the job is done - not the worst edit ever, and while no other time-saving options are out there, it was a manageable solution.
Thanks for your ideas - the recording it in english is a good one, tempted to try that for this interview but feel in a flow now.
I'm a teacher, some of my students complain about the process of using a lot of software to make transcription-and-subtitles in languages, I recommend using other video editor software to do it. I think it would be more fun if we only used 1 software editor, Premiere Pro as a editor.
What i mean is auto transcription-and-subtitles is quite an important feature in this era. I hope bahasa Indonesia can be an option in this cool feature of Adobe Premiere Pro.
mungkin indonesia bukan negara penting buat adobe, masih banyak yang pake bajakan juga, tapi aneh ya, di indonesia orang rela langganan capcut pro bayar 150rb per bulan, padahal premiere 120rb, apa adobe masih meragukan kemampuan bayar orang indonesia ya?
Crack users is not only in indonesia, but everywhere. Hope adobe can reach this indonesian speech to text asap because capcut pro can be the fact that people in this country actually can buy some apps.
Teman-teman yang berkunjung ke ideas ini mungkin bisa dibantu dengan klik upvote di samping judul "Speech to text Generation ...." bertanda simbol panah atas dan angka di bawahnya. Atau tinggalkan comment agar lebih di-notice oleh adobe. Kalau dilihat, yang views-nya di ideas ini cukup banyak (sekitar 800 lebih) tapi yang vote cuma sedikit.
I'm a content creator and now i'm working at a company that need English and Indonesia bahasa language for the content including the caption. if there's the bahasa indonesia language on the transcript it really help me a lot. So i hope Adobe really give a good feedback by adding the Bahasa Indonesia language into the premiere pro transcript language pack for the next update.
Bahasa Indonesia is the 4th largest spoken language in the world. There are no reason for adobe to delay this. I have waited for decades and will still wait for several months top. Then I have no reason to subscribe Adobe products anymore.
