In this help doc

Video Translation translates the script and on-screen text of a video you made in the AI Studios editor. This doc shows how to translate a project into one language and edit it, and how to export several languages at once.

Note: Video Translation is available on the Team plan and above. To translate a video that wasn't made in AI Studios, use AI Dubbing instead.


Translate a project into one language

Use this when you want to check and edit the translation before you export.

  1. In the editor, click Translation next to the project name at the top.

  2. Under Original project you see the current language. Under Translation, find the language you want.

  3. Click the translate button next to that language. Languages you already translated show Complete.

The Translation menu with the original language and the languages to translate into

A translated copy of the project is created and opens in the editor. The original and its translations are kept together in one folder. Edit the translated script and on-screen text as needed, then export it like any other project.

To go back to the original or to another translation, open the Translation menu again and choose that language.

Translate into several languages when you export

Use this to export several translated videos at once, without editing them first.

  1. Click Export at the top right.

  2. In Export Setting, click Language and add the languages you want. Languages you already translated in the Translation menu are included automatically. You can choose up to 10, and each language is exported as a separate video.

  3. To keep the original on-screen text and translate only the voice, turn on Only translate script.

  4. Check the predicted duration, the number of videos, and the credits needed, then click Export.

Adding Japanese in the Language field of Export Setting and pointing to Only translate script

When the videos are ready, you'll find them in Projects. It may take a little while.

Note: Translating the full video can change text timing and layout, which may cause text to overflow or look distorted. Turn on Only translate script to translate the audio only.


FAQ

Why did my translated video fail?
If the translated script makes the video longer than the original, generation can fail. Edit the translation and shorten the script so it fits your plan's limits.

The translation doesn't sound right. What can I do?
Translations may miss some nuances. Translate the project into one language first, then edit the script. You can use the AI script assistant to adjust tone and formality.

Translation isn't available. Why?
On plans below Team, the feature is locked. If you're on a supported plan, the AI translation service may be temporarily unavailable. Try again later.
