Entering a new market
Render the same topic natively in Spanish, German or Indonesian, with headlines and captions written in that language.
Video translator
Translate a video the right way for what it is
There are two different jobs hiding behind 'translate my video'. If you are entering a new market, the best version is a video written and narrated natively in that language. If you already have a finished video and want more people to watch it, dubbing replaces the voice and keeps everything else. Chitrio does both, and this page helps you pick.

Straight answer: Machine translation gets the meaning right far more often than the tone. Have a native speaker read the translated script once, especially for ads and anything customer-facing.
How it works

A native render comes back with native narration and captions in the right script. A dub comes back with the new voice fitted to the original timing and the background music kept.

Questions, answered
Which languages can I translate into?
Native renders cover 14 languages. Dubbing covers 27, including Gujarati, Kannada, Malayalam, Urdu, Arabic, Turkish, Vietnamese, Japanese and Korean.
Does dubbing match lip movement?
No. Dubbing replaces the voice and refits the timing but does not move lips. It is invisible on narration over visuals and slightly off on a presenter speaking to camera.
Are captions translated too?
Native renders burn captions in the new language. For dubs, captions are regenerated in the new language for scripts with proven fonts; the dubbing screen shows which languages support burned captions.
Can the dub use my own voice?
Yes, dubbing can speak in a clone of the original speaker's voice when you own that voice or have consent.
Can I translate videos I made elsewhere?
Yes, dubbing works on uploaded videos as well as on videos rendered in Chitrio, as long as you own the footage.
