How do I translate a Chinese video to English?

Upload the video, let it detect Mandarin, and pick English subtitles, an English voice cloned from the speaker, or that voice with lip sync. You read and fix the English script before anything is voiced. The first 60 seconds are free; English subtitles then use 0.2 credits a minute.

Chengyu and internet slang, in plain English

Four-character idioms and Bilibili slang trip up word-for-word tools. The script turns them into what an English speaker would actually say.

What gets translated: speech, not on-screen text

Chinese videos often carry big burned-in captions. Here is honestly what the tool reads and what it leaves alone.

Factory tours for overseas buyers

A supplier walks the line in Mandarin; the buyer in Ohio hears it in English.

Sourcing videos are full of numbers: tolerances, order minimums, lead times. You check every one in the script before it is voiced, and part names you add to the glossary (“注塑 = injection moulding”) come out the same way every time.

Factory floors are loud. Machine noise stays in the background track and the English voice sits on top of it, at the speaker’s own pitch.

  • Numbers checked before voicing
  • Part names fixed by glossary
  • Machine noise kept underneath

Gadget reviews from Bilibili creators

Phone and laptop reviews that reach English buyers in launch week.

Reviews mix Chinese with English model names: “这台 Pro Max 的续航……”. Lock the spellings in the glossary so 鸿蒙 always reads HarmonyOS and a model number is never translated.

Frequently asked questions

Can AI translate Chinese video to English accurately?

Speech is transcribed, translated line by line and shown to you before anything is voiced, so you can fix a name or an idiom first. It is most accurate on clear speech with one or two speakers.

Does it read the Chinese captions burned into my video?

No. It translates what is spoken. Burned-in captions and on-screen text stay as they are, so upload a version without them if you can.

Can it translate Cantonese video to English?

Yes. Choose Cantonese as the source language and the speech is transcribed as Cantonese, then translated to English subtitles or an English voice.

How are Chinese names spelled in English?

Usually in pinyin. Add a name to the glossary, like “王小明 = Xiaoming Wang”, and it is spelled that way on every line.

How much does a 10-minute Chinese video cost?

The first 60 seconds are free. Ten minutes use 2 credits for English subtitles or 15 for an English voice. The Starter pack is $9.90 for 15 credits, and pack credits never expire.

Can I paste a Douyin or Bilibili link?

No, upload the video file. Only translate videos you made or have permission to use.
