Video Localization

Overview

Video Localization allows you to translate video content by generating subtitles and/or dubbing audio in multiple languages. The system transcribes source audio, translates the content, and produces synchronized subtitles and natural-sounding voice-overs.

Supported Languages

Video localization supports 28 languages:

European Languages: English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Polish, Dutch, Czech, Romanian, Slovak, Croatian, Bulgarian, Hungarian, Greek, Norwegian, Swedish, Danish, Ukrainian

Asian Languages: Japanese, Korean, Mandarin Chinese, Hindi, Tamil, Indonesian, Malay, Vietnamese, Filipino

Other: Arabic, Turkish, Finnish

Note: Video translation uses different language codes than text translation. The UI will show only supported video languages when working with videos.
