About SriSubs

Subtitles that Sound Like Real Conversation

Bridging the gap between rigid textbook Sinhala and natural everyday spoken dialogue for cinema lovers.

Why SriSubs Exists

For years, Sri Lankan movie and TV series fans have struggled with automated subtitle translations. Standard machine translation engines default to formal written Sinhala (ලිඛිත සිංහල). While written Sinhala is beautiful for novels and formal essays, hearing an action movie protagonist say “ඔබ කොහේද යන්නේ?” or “ඔහු එම ස්ථානයෙන් පිටව ගියේය” destroys the emotion, pacing, and realism of the scene.

SriSubs (ශ්‍රීSubs) was created to solve this specific challenge. By fine-tuning translation prompts on Google Gemini AI with deep contextual understanding of colloquial spoken Sinhala (කථික සිංහල), SriSubs produces subtitles that match how real Sri Lankans actually talk with friends, family, and colleagues.
