adding manual captions to an amateur documentary

How do I do this? / What's This Thing?

im not an experienced film maker at all, just make vlogs for fun. recently i interviewed a family member to make a super amateur home documentary and she speaks another language. i want to add captions to the documentary, one version with english captions (translated by me) and one version with the transliterated captions.

i've been trying to find a video editing platform where i can manually add captions but not sure what the best choice is. i know i can upload the video to an ai-generated video-editing platform and probably manually edit the captions, but was trying to find something where i can just manually add in and edit captions. i dont mind paying a small price for it
