# Video Translator > An AI video translator turns the speech in a video into one of 33 languages and hands the video back with the new audio. Kenerate AI's translator detects the spoken language from 57 options, translates it and re-voices each speaker with ElevenLabs, for videos up to 15 minutes. Captions are a separate tool.

Open the video translator — It is the AI Dubbing tool. Sign in with a verified email; new accounts get starter credits to try it. 2. Upload the video — MP4 or MOV, up to 500 MB and 15 minutes. Audio-only files work too, up to 50 MB. 3. Choose the language to translate into — One of 33. Keep the spoken language on Auto-detect, or pin it if the video mixes languages. 4. Translate and check — Compare the original and the translation on the result card, then download the MP4. 5. Need more languages? — Run the same video again with another target language; each run makes one translation. ## In depth ### Three steps in one run Speech recognition writes down what is said, machine translation turns it into the target language, and speech synthesis speaks it again in a clone of each original voice, mixed back over the background sound [1]. You only see the start and the finished video. ### Translate the speech or the captions? Captions are cheaper to produce and let viewers hear the original voices; translated speech reaches people who don't read along, such as children, people watching on a TV, or anyone cooking or driving. Platforms are moving the same way: YouTube now dubs eligible videos automatically [2]. ### What still needs a human check Machine translation is fluent but literal in places. - Names, brands and product terms. - Numbers, prices and dates read aloud. - Jokes, idioms and wordplay. - Technical or legal wording.

A: Open Kenerate's AI Dubbing, upload the video, leave the spoken language on Auto-detect, pick one of 33 target languages and download the translated MP4. Add lip sync for on-camera speakers or captions for sound-off viewers afterwards. Q: Which languages can it translate? A: Into 33: English, Hindi, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Arabic, Russian, Tamil, Indonesian, Malay, Filipino, Tagalog, Vietnamese, Turkish, Dutch, Polish, Ukrainian, Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, Finnish, Greek, Czech, Slovak, Hungarian, Romanian, Bulgarian and Croatian. The speech can be in any of 57 languages, or auto-detected. Q: Is translating a video the same as translating subtitles? A: No. A subtitle translator changes the text on screen; a video translator changes what people hear. Kenerate translates the speech. Its Auto Subtitles tool captions the language that is spoken, so caption the translated video if you want both. Q: Can I translate a video for free? A: You can try it without paying: new accounts get starter credits that work on AI Dubbing, enough to translate a short clip. Beyond that, it is priced by the length of the video, billed by the second up to 15 minutes, with automatic refunds when a run fails. Q: Can it translate a video with several speakers? A: Yes, up to 32. Each speaker is re-voiced in a clone of their own voice. Set the number of speakers when people interrupt each other, so the voices stay apart. Q: Can I translate one video into several languages? A: Yes, one language per run. Upload once, translate into Spanish, then run the same video again for Hindi or Japanese; each translation is saved in your library. Q: Does the translated video keep the lip movements? A: The picture is untouched, so the lips still move as in the original. For close-ups, run the translated video through lip sync so the mouth follows the new language. ## Related pages - AI video translator and dubbing: https://kenerateai.com/ai-video-translator-and-dubbing - Translate audio: https://kenerateai.com/translate-audio - Hindi to English: https://kenerateai.com/hindi-to-english-voice-translation - English to Tamil: https://kenerateai.com/english-to-tamil-audio-translation - English to Spanish: https://kenerateai.com/english-to-spanish-voice-translation ## 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 - Rask AI — home page, checked 6 October 2026: https://www.rask.ai/ - YouTube Help — automatic dubbing: https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/15569972
