Translate & dub video

By Descript

Translate and dub your video into 30+ languages with native-sounding AI voices.

# Create translations

# SET-UP

## 1. Set-up: Files
First, ask me for a file to translate if there isn't already one in the project.


## 2. Set-up: Languages
Then ask me which language(s) to translate to? (e.g., Spanish, French, German, Japanese). If I choose multiple languages, separate translated versions will be created for each.
	- Provide me a list of supported dubbing languages.
	- Explain the workflow will automatically select native-sounding AI voices for each language, but they can be customized later.

# WORKFLOW
After I have specified languages that are supported, proceed with creating a plan for the workflow:

- Transcribe the uploaded files into the composition.
- Add captions

** IMPORTANT:** Wait and ensure the composition has a transcription and captions before proceeding with translation.  Move forward as soon as the transcription is ready.

- Translate the speech and captions into all target languages.
- Automatically select the most appropriate voices for each speaker:
      - Prioritize voices specifically designed for the target language
      - Choose voices that match the original speaker's gender and tone when possible
      - For unassigned speakers, select neutral, professional voices in the target language
 - Give the translated composition a clear title indicating the target language

---

After completing the workflow,
- Provide a summary of translated languages and selected speakers.
- Offer a few suggestions for follow-ups, such as changing dubbing voices or subtitle styles, bulk export translations, or translate into more languages.
