English dub, English captions, or both?
Three ways to make a foreign-language video watchable in English, and which one is best for what.
| English dub | English captions only | English dub + English captions | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Best for | Viewers who listen: TV, kids, cooking, driving | Viewers who want the original voices | Social feeds watched with the sound off |
| What viewers hear | English, in the speakers' voices | The original language | English, in the speakers' voices |
| What viewers read | Nothing | English text | English text |
| How on Kenerate | AI Dubbing → English | Not possible in one step: Auto Subtitles captions the spoken language and doesn't translate | AI Dubbing → English, then Auto Subtitles in English (clips up to 4 min) |

Auto Subtitles burns captions into the video and has no subtitle file export.

Tips
Better English translations
What helps the most, whatever the source language.
Clean, close-mic speech matters more than the accent.
Pin the spoken language if a video mixes it with English.
Set the speaker count for interviews and family videos.
Check names, places and numbers in the English version.
Caption the English dub for viewers on mute.
For close-ups, add lip sync after translating.

FAQ
Translate video to English: questions
7 questions
How do I translate a video to English?
Upload it to Kenerate's AI Dubbing, leave the spoken language on Auto-detect, choose English and download the result. The video comes back with English speech in the original voices; add English captions or lip sync afterwards if you need them.
Link to this answerWhich languages can be translated to English?
Any of 57 spoken languages, including Spanish, Hindi, Tagalog, Chinese, Arabic, French, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, Urdu, Tamil, Marathi, Persian and Swahili. The language is auto-detected, or you can pin it.
Link to this answerIs there a Spanish to English video translator?
Yes. Upload the Spanish video, pick English, and the AI re-voices it in English in the same speaker's voice. Mexican, Castilian, Argentine and other varieties all count as Spanish. See our Spanish to English guide for accent tips.
Link to this answerCan I translate a video to English with AI for free?
You can try it without paying: new accounts get starter credits that work on AI Dubbing, enough for a short clip. After that, it is priced by video length, billed by the second up to 15 minutes, with automatic refunds when a run fails.
Link to this answerCan I get English subtitles instead of English audio?
Not in one step. Kenerate's Auto Subtitles writes captions in the language that is spoken and doesn't translate. To get English captions, translate the video to English first, then caption the English version.
Link to this answerHow accurate is AI translation to English?
Clear speech from one mic translates well; heavy background music, crosstalk and slang lower the accuracy. Always check names, numbers and technical terms in the English version before publishing.
Link to this answerCan I translate a YouTube video to English?
Download a video you own or have the rights to, then upload the file: the tool does not take links. Files up to 500 MB and 15 minutes work.

Translating video to English, explained
Why English is the most common target, and how the pair guides help.
On this page
Why English is the usual target
English is the most widely spoken language in the world when second-language speakers are counted [1], so a video in English reaches the largest audience. Translating into English is also the most common way to share local footage, lessons or interviews with international teams.
What happens to the original language
The original speech is transcribed and translated, then each speaker is re-voiced in English with a clone of their voice and mixed back with the background sound [2]. Turn on Drop background audio to keep only the English voices.
Guides for common language pairs
Accents and speech habits differ by language. Our pair guides cover them in detail:
- Spanish to English: Mexican, Castilian, Argentine and Caribbean accents.
- Hindi to English: Hinglish and fast conversational Hindi.
- Tagalog to English: Taglish and Filipino varieties.
Spanish to English video translator
Upload the Spanish video and choose English: the speech becomes English in the same voice. Our Spanish to English page covers accents and tips.
Translate video AI free
Kenerate isn't free to use, but new accounts get starter credits that work on AI Dubbing, so you can translate a short clip to English before paying.
Other video-to-English translators
