What the AI video translator does

One file in, one language out, and the numbers stated plainly: no language count padded with a plus sign, no limits buried in a help page.

  • The speech itself, in a new language

    The translator transcribes what is said, translates it and re-voices it, so viewers hear their own language instead of reading subtitles over the original.

  • 24 languages, each one named

    English, Spanish, French, German, Japanese, Hindi, Arabic and 17 more, all listed on this page. Choose one target language per translation.

  • Video or audio in

    MP4, MOV and WebM for video; MP3, WAV and M4A for podcasts, voice notes, lectures and interviews. An audio file comes back as translated audio.

  • Your resolution, untouched

    A 720p video comes back at 720p and a vertical 4K clip at vertical 4K, the same length as the original, ready for the platform it was made for.

  • Long files, cost up front

    Upload files up to 180 minutes long and 3 GB in size. The credit cost appears on the Generate button as soon as you add a file, before you start.

    Open the translator and drop in a video or audio file, or pick one from My Files: MP4, MOV, WebM, MP3, WAV or M4A, up to 180 minutes.

Video translation, explained

What is an AI video translator?

An AI video translator turns the speech in a video into another language: it transcribes what is said, translates the transcript and generates a new voice track that replaces the original speech. The result is the same video, heard in the viewer's own language, made without re-recording or re-editing anything.

It is not a subtitle generator, which leaves the original voice in place and adds text, and it is not a real-time interpreter app for live conversations. Renderforest's translator works on files: you upload a video or audio recording, choose a target language and download the translated version.

How to translate a video into another language

Translating a video with Renderforest takes three steps: upload the file, pick the language, download the result. Open the translator in the AI audio tool, drop in a video (MP4, MOV, WebM) or an audio file (MP3, WAV, M4A) up to 180 minutes and 3 GB, and choose one of 24 target languages.

The credit cost appears on the Generate button before you start. Press it, and short clips are usually ready within a few minutes. The translated video keeps the resolution you uploaded, from 720p to vertical 4K, so it is ready to publish on the same platforms as the original.

Translate a video to English, or from English

English works in both directions. Translate interviews, testimonials and product videos recorded in another language into English for a wider audience, or take English content into the 23 other target languages when a channel or a brand goes global.

Pick the target language for each translation. A video headed for three markets is translated three times, once per language, and each version is its own file that you can publish, schedule and measure separately.

AI dubbing vs. subtitles vs. voice-over: which do you need?

Subtitles keep the original voice and add translated text. AI dubbing, which is what an AI video translator does, replaces the speech with a new voice track in the viewer's language. A voice-over is a new narration recorded over the picture, often in the same language.

Choose subtitles when the speaker's own voice matters, as in quotes, interviews or music videos. Choose a translation when viewers should simply hear the content in their language, as with lessons, explainers and ads. For a fresh narration written from a script, use text to speech instead.

How accurate is AI video translation, and how do you check it?

AI translation is strongest on clear speech and everyday vocabulary, and weaker on names, slang, specialist terms and people talking over each other. The best check is simple: play the translated video to a native speaker before you publish it, and listen closely to names and numbers.

The transcript can't be edited in the translator today, so if a line comes out wrong, improve the source (clearer audio, one speaker at a time) and translate it again. A short test clip is a cheap way to hear how your footage translates before you run a long video.

How to translate a YouTube video

The translator works with files, not links. To translate your own YouTube video, download it from YouTube Studio, upload the file to the translator, choose the language and download the translated version, then publish it for that audience.

Only translate videos you own or have permission to use. Translating someone else's video and uploading it is a question of rights, not of technology, and the same rule applies to clips found on other platforms.

What does it cost to translate a video?

Video translation runs on the credits in your Renderforest plan, the same credits used for AI video, image and voice generation. The cost depends on the length of the file, and it appears on the Generate button as soon as you add one, before you start.

Plans differ in how many credits they include, so compare them on the pricing page. There is no separate dubbing plan and no extra charge per language: each translation is priced by its length.

One subscription, every AI tool

AI video translator FAQ

Straight answers about languages, files, cost and accuracy.

Translate a video

How do I translate a video into another language?

Collapse FAQ answer

Open the translator in Renderforest's AI audio tool, upload a video (MP4, MOV, WebM) or an audio file (MP3, WAV, M4A) up to 180 minutes, choose one of 24 target languages and press Generate. The cost shows on the button before you start, and the translated file is ready to download when it finishes, at the resolution you uploaded.

Which languages can I translate a video into?

Expand FAQ answer

24 languages: English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Polish, Turkish, Russian, Dutch, Czech, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Hindi, Indonesian, Ukrainian, Greek, Finnish, Swedish, Danish, Romanian and Vietnamese. Each translation produces one target language.

How much does it cost to translate a video?

Expand FAQ answer

Translation uses the credits in your Renderforest plan and is priced by the length of the file, with no extra charge per language. The exact cost appears on the Generate button as soon as you add a file, so you see it before you start.

How long does video translation take?

Expand FAQ answer

Short clips were ready within a few minutes in our tests. Longer files take longer, since the whole recording is transcribed, translated and re-voiced. The finished file appears in the translator's list, ready to download.

Can I translate an audio file, like a podcast or a voice memo?

Expand FAQ answer

Yes. MP3, WAV and M4A files go through the same steps as video: upload, choose a language, download. An audio file comes back as translated audio, which suits podcasts, interviews, lectures and voice notes.

Can I translate a YouTube video?

Expand FAQ answer

Yes, as a file. The translator doesn't take links, so download your video from YouTube Studio, upload it, translate it and publish the new version. Only translate videos you own or have permission to use.

Can I translate one video into several languages at once?

Expand FAQ answer

One translation produces one language. For a second language, add the file again, choose the next language and generate another version. Each version is priced by its length, the same as the first.

What files can I upload, and what do I get back?

Expand FAQ answer

Video in MP4, MOV or WebM and audio in MP3, WAV or M4A, up to 180 minutes long and 3 GB per file. A video comes back as an MP4 at its original resolution and length, from 720p up to vertical 4K.

Does the translator add subtitles?

Expand FAQ answer

No. The translator replaces the spoken track with a new voice in the target language; it doesn't add subtitles or create a subtitle file. If you also want on-screen text, add it in a video editor after translating.

How accurate is it, and can I edit the translation?

Expand FAQ answer

It is strongest on clear speech and everyday vocabulary and weaker on names, slang and overlapping voices. The transcript can't be edited before generating today, so review the result with a native speaker and translate again from clearer audio if a line needs fixing.

What is the difference between video translation and AI dubbing?

Expand FAQ answer

They describe the same result from two sides. Video translation is what you want: your video in another language. Dubbing is the studio word for how it is done: a new voice track replacing the original speech. Renderforest's AI video translator is an AI dub.

Can I use translated videos commercially?

Expand FAQ answer

Paid Renderforest plans include commercial use of what you create, so translated videos can go into monetized channels, courses and client work. Translate only content you own or have the rights to, and follow each platform's rules on disclosing AI-generated audio.

Record it once. Publish it in 24 languages.
