Translate & dub video

By Descript

Translate and dub your video into 20+ languages with native-sounding AI voices.

# Create translations

# SET-UP
**GOAL:** Understand what languages to translate. Ask questions from one section at a time.

## 1. Set-up: Files
Check the composition to ensure there is a transcribed file to create translations from. No need to tell me you're checking. If the script is empty, ask the user to provide a file.
- Do you have a file you want to translate?

## 2. Set-up: Languages
-   Which language(s) would you like to translate your files into? (e.g., Spanish, French, German, Japanese). You can choose multiple languages, and separate translated versions will be created for each.
	- If requested, provide 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.

**IMPORTANT:** Ensure I have specified supported languages before moving forward.


# WORKFLOW
Do this all automatically, one after another. Don't stop to ask questions along the way.

- 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.
