Why translate short-form videos
Spanish, Portuguese, German, French and Hindi audiences on TikTok and YouTube are huge and often less competitive than English. A video that already works in one language is a proven idea — translating it is the cheapest way to reach a new market.
An AI video translator makes that a few clicks instead of a re-edit. Faceless formats like slideshows translate especially cleanly because there's no lip-sync to match.
How the AI video translator works
- Open a project and choose Translate.
- Pick the languages you want.
- AI translates every piece of text — slide text and narration script — using what the video is about as context.
- Each language becomes its own project. Open it, re-voice it in that language and render.
- Schedule each version to the accounts for that market.
Reviewing a translation
Open each translated project before you render. Check names, prices and wordplay — jokes and idioms don't always survive translation.
AI video translator tip: localise, don't just translate
Swap currency, units and examples for the market. A quick edit in the translated project makes it feel native.
AI video translator and voice choice
Pick a voice that sounds natural in the target language. ElevenLabs and OpenAI voices handle many languages.
Translating UGC ads
In the AI UGC video maker, translate scripts and on-screen text and render a version per language — pair it with AI avatars that match each market.
Running multilingual channels
Create one account per language and point a campaign at each. The same strategy, many audiences.
Which languages to translate into with the AI video translator
Start with the markets where your product sells or your content already gets some views from. Your analytics and audience location data are the best guide.
Popular choices for the AI video translator
- Spanish: huge audiences across Spain and Latin America.
- Portuguese: Brazil is one of TikTok's and YouTube's biggest markets.
- German and French: strong buying power for e-commerce.
- Hindi and Indonesian: large, fast-growing short-form audiences.
One account per language
Mixing languages on one account confuses both viewers and the algorithm. Run a separate account per language and point a campaign at each.
AI video translator rollout plan
- Translate your top 10 videos into one new language.
- Post them on a new account over two weeks.
- If they perform, set up a campaign for that language.
- Repeat for the next language.
Getting quality results from the AI video translator
AI translation is good, but marketing copy is full of idioms, puns and cultural references that don't carry over. A short review makes the difference between "translated" and "native".
Review checklist for AI video translator output
- Hooks still punchy and short — translations often get longer.
- Prices, currencies and units suit the market.
- Brand and product names untouched.
- Calls to action point to the right store or site for the market.
Get a native speaker's eyes
If you can, have a native speaker glance at the first few videos per language. Their notes become instructions you can give the AI for later ones.
AI video translator text-length tip
German and French text often runs 20–30% longer than English. Check that slide text still fits comfortably and shorten where needed.
