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.

A: 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. Q: Which languages can be translated to English? A: 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. Q: Is there a Spanish to English video translator? A: 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. Q: Can I translate a video to English with AI for free? A: 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. Q: Can I get English subtitles instead of English audio? A: 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. Q: How accurate is AI translation to English? A: 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. Q: Can I translate a YouTube video to English? A: 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. ## Related pages - Spanish to English: https://kenerateai.com/spanish-to-english-audio-translation - Hindi to English: https://kenerateai.com/hindi-to-english-voice-translation - Tagalog to English: https://kenerateai.com/tagalog-to-english-voice-translation - AI video translator and dubbing: https://kenerateai.com/ai-video-translator-and-dubbing - Translate audio: https://kenerateai.com/translate-audio ## Sources - Kenerate AI Dubbing (tool): https://kenerateai.com/app/tool/dubbing - ElevenLabs — Dubbing docs: https://elevenlabs.io/docs/capabilities/dubbing - HeyGen — AI video translator, checked 6 October 2026: https://www.heygen.com/translate - ElevenLabs — Dubbing, checked 6 October 2026: https://elevenlabs.io/dubbing-studio - English language — Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_language
