Translate a Video

  1. Navigate to the video you wish to translate and select Translate

    1. Alternatively, hover over the video you want to translate and select Translate

  2. Select the Languages you want to translate the video into from the dropdown menu or upload a .xliff file.

  3. Toggle on the Translation options you require:

    • Only translate the script – Keeps on-screen text in the original language.

    • Automatically generate videos – Automatically creates all translated versions.

  4. Select Translate to begin the process.

  5. A progress bar will appear on your screen.

  6. Once complete, a new folder will appear named: Your Video Title - translations. All versions of the video including any future translations will be stored here.

✍️ If you don’t enable auto-generation, you’ll need to generate each translation manually before you can publish or share it.

✍️ If translation fails or can't detect the original language, try again after a few minutes. If it continues to fail, contact our support team with the video name and the error message shown.

Publish a Multilingual Video

  1. To share the video with its translations, navigate to the original video and select Share.

  2. In the Share panel, toggle on Include translations.

  3. Select Add translations and a link will be created.

  4. Copy the link or embed the video as needed.

  5. Viewers will now see a language selector in the bottom right of the video player.
