How to Add Indonesian Subtitles in DaVinci Resolve
Indonesian is written in the Latin alphabet with regular spelling and no tone marks, which makes it one of the more forgiving languages to caption. Caption Pro transcribes your timeline with Whisper AI and lets you review the text before it is placed.

Whisper transcribes Indonesian well, and its plain Latin spelling means fewer surprises than in accented or non-Latin languages. Everyday speech mixes in English and slang, and Indonesian builds words with prefixes and suffixes, so the review step is useful for confirming those before captions are placed, changing only the line you edit.
Indonesian needs no special characters beyond the standard Latin alphabet, so every common font and every Text+ template already in your DaVinci Resolve project displays it correctly. That makes it easy to match your existing caption look without hunting for a script-specific font.
This fits Indonesian YouTube, vertical short-form, tutorials, and content subtitled in Indonesian for a wider audience. You can also transcribe in another language and translate into Indonesian, or start from Indonesian and translate the captions into 100+ languages.
