How to translate video to English or any other language
There are many interesting topics in the world, both global and belonging to certain cultures. And if videos on the former are quite common, then in the case of the latter, it’s often necessary to familiarize yourself with foreign languages to understand what is being said. However, this is not always convenient or feasible for the average viewer, so making video translations is also widespread.
With the development of video translation services, the process of doing that is becoming easier, faster, and more accurate. Translation options vary – it can be done as subtitles for people with hearing impairments; as a text file so that the information can be shared on other platforms that are not tied to the video form; and also as a voiceover, which is convenient to listen to while moving, or when the video sequence is not particularly important.
Our online video translator can help with all the options. With this tool, you can translate videos not only into English but also into many other languages. It also supports a large number of video formats – these include AVI, MKV, MOV, MP4 WEBM, WMV, and many other less common formats.
Depending on the way you want to translate your video, the process may vary slightly. Follow the steps for the particular method below to get the exact result you need.

In the editor page, you can preview the video with translated subtitles right away.
If there are some mistakes, on the right side of the editor there are text boxes with the translation. By clicking them, you can change the text that’s written there. If you want to change the time when a certain text appears, on the left to each text box there are boxes indicating the time when they are shown. There, you can write the specific time. Alternatively, drag the text box in the timeline to place it where you need it.
In the right upper corner, there is the "Styles" tab, where you can change the appearance of the subtitles. You can select one of the presets.
Or you can go wild and adjust the appearance to your liking. For example, the first icon makes the text appear at the top or bottom of the video, and the second one makes it centered or leaning to the left or right side. Select one of the featured text fonts, or search for a more suitable one for you, and choose the size for the text.
The selected or created style will be applied to all the subtitles.
In the lower-left corner, click "Format" to choose the output format for your video if you need to change it.

In the "Voice" dropdown list, select the type of voice you want to use for AI voiceover.
Click "Export video" and wait before the processing ends.
