Translate a Video’s Captions and Transcript
The original audio track does not change. If you want a voice-over in the new language instead of translated text, send the result to the dubbing tool afterward.
What you get:
How to Translate a Video
- Upload the video or paste a link: Add a file in MP4, M4V, MOV, AVI, WEBM, MKV, FLV, TS, MTS, M2TS, 3GP, 3GPP, 3G2, WMV, ASF, VOB, OGV, RM, RMVB, MPG, MPEG, M2V, F4V, MXF, or import from a URL. The tool detects the spoken language on its own.
- Choose your target language: Pick from any of 100+ languages for the translated transcript and captions.
- Download the translation: Get the translated subtitles and transcript a few minutes later, or send the result to the dubbing tool for a voice-over instead.
Translation quality follows transcription quality: clear, single-speaker audio translates better than a noisy clip with overlapping voices. See how we measure accuracy.

Who Uses a Video Translator
Content creators and YouTubers translate a video’s captions to reach viewers in another language, then decide later whether the audience justifies a full voice-over.
International business teams translate training videos, product demos and internal recordings for global teams, without a professional subtitling service for every language they need.
Online educators and course creators translate lecture and course recordings so students who speak another language can read along or study from the transcript.
Software companies translate demos, feature walkthroughs and help videos so support content reaches users outside their home market.
Journalists and researchers translate interviews and field recordings into a transcript they can quote from directly.
Translating to a specific language: the Spanish video translator covers Spanish captions and transcript specifically, and the dubbing tool adds an AI voice-over in the language you choose once the translation is done.
