Hello, I receive the error 'Unknown subtitle file format'. I tried .sbv .sub and .srt. Nothing works, What should I do so that I can upload my own captions. Thank you

Bonjour,l je reçois l'erreur 'Unknown subtitle file format.'
J'ai essayé .sbv, .sub, .srt en ajoutant les numéro mais il n'y a rien à faire. Que dois-je faire parce que la captation automatique n'est pas tout à fait correcte.
Merci

Hello and welcome. :)

This Youtube help page should help you - https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/2734698?hl=en-GB
 
Thanks for your reply. I had read that page but the file I downloaded captions.sub I tried to re-upload with the corrections but the system is always giving me an error.
 
I had the same problem. I downloaded the automatically created .sbv file from youtube and then used Google Translate to help translate the captions. Then I copied the translation to a text file and saved it as with a .sbv extension. But then when I uploaded the file to Youtube I got the error message: "Unknown subtitle file format."

I found out that Google translate had changed the time format numbers by adding spaces after some of the colons. The time format looked like this: 0: 00: 56.850,0: 00: 59.660. So in the text editor I used "Search" and "Replace" to "Replace All" :{space} with just :

Then it looked correct like this: 0:00:56.850,0:00:59.660. However when I translated it to Italian with Google translate it also changed some of the dots in the time format to commas like this: 0:00:16.199,0:00:20,260. So I had to use Notepad++ "Search" and "Replace" and check the box for "Regular expression" and then input :
Find what: ,(\d{3})\r and Replace with: .$1
Then click "Replace All" and it fixed it. The correct format was: 0:00:16.199,0:00:20.260

You might also need to use Notepad++ to change the encoding to UTF-8 by clicking on "Encoding" > "Convert to UTF-8" and then saving the text file.
