# Translate and dub videos

Use this tutorial when a video needs localized speech, subtitles, or dubbing for another language.

## When to use this tutorial

Use it for short drama episodes, creator clips, ecommerce demos, app ads, training videos, webinars, and campaign videos. If the source has hard subtitles or visible text, clean it first with [subtitle removal](./subtitle-removal.html).

## Prepare the translation

1. Open [/video-translator/](/video-translator/).
2. Choose the target language.
3. Check speaker settings, voice choices, mute options, and dubbing settings.
4. Decide whether the output needs translated subtitles, a dubbed video, subtitle files, or all of them.
5. Check the estimate, submit the task, and monitor it from Workspace or Works.

## Review before delivery

- Check names, product terms, brand words, and place names.
- Watch speaker changes and voice assignments.
- Confirm subtitles are readable and do not cover important content.
- Use Studio for repeated episodes, glossary terms, review drafts, and batch export.
- Use Works to download final videos and subtitle files.

For production automation, read the [video translation API docs](/docs/api/video-translation.html) and [API activation guide](./api-activation.html).
