# English to Italian Audio Translation > English to Italian audio translation turns spoken English into spoken Italian in the same speaker's voice — the output is Italian audio you can play, not a transcript or Italian subtitles. On Kenerate AI you upload or record an English video (up to 500 MB) or audio file (up to 50 MB), pick Italian, and the ElevenLabs dubbing engine transcribes, translates and re-voices it, up to 15 minutes with up to 32 speakers, on the free plan. It costs 3 credits per second of source audio, counted in whole seconds — our 5-second test clips were billed as 6 seconds, 18 credits each — and a failed dub is refunded. The picture is left as it was, so add lip sync if the speaker is on camera.

Each was billed as 6 seconds, 18 credits. Both Italian versions came back exactly as long as the source, 5.04 seconds, and a frame from the middle of each was pixel-identical to the original — the dub changes the sound only. The creator still sounded like herself on our pitch check (254 Hz in English, 250 Hz in Italian); the support agent's voice came out a little lower (119 Hz to 96 Hz). The Italian support line was much shorter than the English, so most of the clip's second half is room sound. We didn't transcribe the Italian, so check wording yourself before you publish. ### What changes between English and Italian Italian marks formality in 'you' (tu vs the formal Lei) and gender and number in adjectives and many verb forms, so the translation has to commit where English stays neutral. Italian is the official language of Italy, San Marino and Vatican City and one of Switzerland's national languages, so one dub reaches several markets. - Tu or Lei — set the tone in your script; formal business English tends to come out as Lei. - English loanwords — everyday Italian keeps many English terms (weekend, smartphone, meeting); check the dub didn't translate a brand or product name. - Length — Italian often needs more syllables than English; short, conversational source lines fit best. ### Other ways to do it Google Translate's live translate speaks translations aloud in a conversation; YouTube's automatic dubbing can dub eligible videos inside YouTube. A dubbing tool gives you the translated file itself, in the speaker's voice, to post anywhere. ## FAQ Q: How do I translate English audio to Italian? A: Open Kenerate's AI dubbing, upload or record the English audio or video, pick Italian as the target and download the result: spoken Italian in the same speaker's voice. Files can be up to 15 minutes. Q: Esiste un traduttore vocale da inglese a italiano? A: Sì: nel doppiaggio IA di Kenerate carichi o registri un audio o un video in inglese, scegli l'italiano e scarichi la versione doppiata, con l'italiano parlato dalla stessa voce, fino a 15 minuti per file. Funziona anche con il piano gratuito. Q: Is English to Italian voice translation free? A: Yes, to start: dubbing works on the free plan with the sign-up credits, so you can hear a short clip in Italian first. It costs 3 credits per second of source audio, counted in whole seconds — a 30-second clip is 90 credits, a minute is 180. Longer files use one-time credit packs that never expire, and a failed dub is refunded. Q: Does the Italian keep my voice? A: Yes — each speaker is re-voiced in Italian with a clone of their own voice. In our tests the Italian kept the speaker's pitch close to the original: a woman's voice measured 254 Hz in English and 250 Hz in Italian. Q: Will the lips match the Italian? A: No, not by themselves: dubbing replaces the audio and leaves the picture exactly as it was, so the mouth still moves to the English. Run the dubbed video through lip sync if the speaker is on camera. Q: Does it use tu or Lei? A: Italian chooses between tu (informal) and Lei (formal) where English just says 'you'. The engine picks from context, so review greetings and direct address for your audience, especially in customer service, ads and training. Q: Why is the Italian sometimes shorter or longer than the English? A: The dub keeps the original file length, but the translated sentence can take more or less time to say. In our support-call test the Italian line finished well before the 5-second clip ended, leaving room sound at the end — trim it in your editor if it matters. Q: Can I translate an English video to Italian, not just audio? A: Yes — upload the video (up to 500 MB, 15 minutes). You get the same video with Italian speech; add Italian subtitles or lip sync afterwards if you want them. Q: How many speakers can it handle? A: Up to 32 speakers per file. Leave the number on auto, or set it if the speakers talk over each other. Q: Can I translate Italian audio to English too? A: Yes — Italian is also a source language and is auto-detected: upload the Italian file and pick English as the target. ## Related pages - Italian text to speech: https://kenerateai.com/italian-text-to-speech - Translate audio: https://kenerateai.com/translate-audio - AI video translator: https://kenerateai.com/ai-video-translator-and-dubbing - AI lip sync: https://kenerateai.com/ai-lipsync-generator ## Sources - Kenerate video studio: https://kenerateai.com/app/video - Wikipedia — Italian language: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italian_language - Wikipedia — T–V distinction: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T%E2%80%93V_distinction - ElevenLabs — Dubbing docs: https://elevenlabs.io/docs/capabilities/dubbing - Google Translate Help — live translate: https://support.google.com/translate/answer/6142474 - YouTube Help — automatic dubbing: https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/15569972
