AI Video Translation
A video's spoken audio and captions are translated into the language you choose, with the rest of the video left untouched.
Sometimes a video just needs to be understood in another language, with nothing else changed. This build translates the spoken audio, the captions or both into the language you choose, keeping names and product terms consistent across every video. The visuals, pacing and references stay exactly as they are, and a reviewer approves each translation before it reaches your audience.
- Captions, dubbed audio or both in your target language
- Names and product terms kept consistent every time
- Visuals and pacing left exactly as they were

What it is
AI Video Translation is a build that translates a video's spoken audio and captions into the language you choose, without changing the visuals, pacing or references, for teams that need the words understood, not the video re-cut. Names and product terms stay consistent across every language.
Why businesses buy it
Training, product and support videos often only reach people who speak the language they were recorded in. Sending each one to a translation agency is slow and costly, so many never get translated. This build turns translation into a routine step for your existing library, with consistent terminology and a review before anything goes live. The Scope Card fixes the formats, destination and review step before you order, so you know exactly what you will get and where an add-on would apply.
Problems this solves
Viewers abroad can't follow videos recorded in one language
The pipeline translates the spoken audio and captions into the language you choose. Visuals, pacing and references stay exactly as they were, so the content is unchanged.
Product names get translated differently in every video
Names and product terms are kept consistent across every translated video. Your brand profile and reference examples set which terms must never be changed in any language.
Re-editing a video just to change its language wastes time
Only the words change, not the edit. Teams who need the message understood can skip a costly re-cut and keep the original video fully intact.
Machine translations go out with errors nobody checked
Translated files are delivered to one destination, such as your drive or CMS. Your team can check them there before publishing, and the pipeline was tested on samples you approved.
A good fit if
You need a video's spoken audio and captions understood in another language, without changing the video itself.
You already have a finished video and script, and just need it translated, not re-cut or culturally adapted.
You publish to audiences in more than one language and want translated captions or a dubbed track delivered quickly.
A named person should review the translation for accuracy before it goes out under your brand.
Not the right fit if
You only need captions and a transcript in the video's original language. See AI Captioning, the first tier in this family.
You need dubbed voice and cultural references adjusted together, not just the words translated. See AI Video Localization, for the fuller adaptation.
Your source is a webinar you want turned into clips and a summary. See AI Webinar Repurposing.
You need an existing recording cut into shorter clips, not translated. See AI Video Repurposing.
You need new video produced in the target language, not an existing one translated. See AI Video Content Engine.
How it works
- We agree the target languages and whether you need dubbed audio, translated captions, or both, for up to three output formats.
- You send the original video, script and captions, along with any reference examples of translated work you like.
- The audio or captions are translated by the pipeline, keeping the pacing, visuals and references from the original video unchanged.
- The person you named reviews the batch of 25 sample outputs and approves, rejects or requests a change to the translation.
- Approved translated videos are delivered to your destination, ready to publish in the new language.
What you provide within 72 hours
Your portal lists these the moment you order. Delivery starts the working day after everything is in and your access is checked.
- Your brand guidelines and tone-of-voice examples.
- Ten to twenty reference examples showing translated work you like.
- Access to the destination the finished video should reach, such as your CMS or drive.
- The original video, script and captions, and the target language to start with.
- The name of the person who approves each batch.
- Admin access and API keys for every connected system, shared by adding our team as a user or creating a key you control, never by email.
- Your business information (company basics, hours and brand voice), shared during intake.
- One decision-maker on your side who can approve the outputs and sign off on launch.
- An API key for your own AI model account (for example OpenAI or Google Gemini), created for this build with a spending limit.
The 72-hour rule. Send everything on your checklist, including access, within 72 hours of ordering so your build starts on time.

These are things to track, not promised results. Outcomes depend on your data, your team and your market.
Running costs
The build price is one-time. Running it is paid in your own accounts, roughly $20 to $150 a month in AI model and media-generation usage, depending on how many videos you translate.
AI usage during the build and testing is billed the same way, so every provider account, including your CMS and hosting tools, stays in your name.
Ask about running costsCustom requirements
If you need something outside the Scope Card, add a note at checkout. You get a written Change Quote, and that work only starts once you accept it. Larger or bespoke projects go through the Custom AI request form instead.
Request a custom versionKeep it running
Monthly maintenance covers monitoring, fixes, updates, a monthly health report and change hours for work such as a translation correction or a new reference example. It starts after the 30 days of included support and can be cancelled any month.
$249/mo (the minimum fee, includes 2 change hours)
Optional. Starts after the post-launch support period. Cancel any month.
How maintenance worksHow this compares
| Do it yourself with a SaaS tool | Hire a custom agency | Upmark Labs | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Price | A captioning tool charges monthly per minute translated | A translation agency quotes per video and per language | Ours is one fixed price, shown on this page before you buy |
| Scope | A captioning tool translates text but not spoken audio | An agency quotes dubbing and captions as separate line items | Ours covers audio, captions or both inside the one price |
| Delivery | A captioning tool works immediately but review is yours to do | A translation agency project usually runs several weeks | Ours has a fixed delivery time shown before you buy, with faster options |
| Review | A captioning tool exports whatever the model produces | An agency build depends on what was agreed | Ours holds every batch for your named reviewer before it publishes |
Questions about this product
How much does AI Video Translation cost?
The fixed build price for each delivery speed is listed in the price and delivery panel on this page. It covers the whole Scope Card: one translation pipeline for captions, dubbed audio or both, up to three output formats, consistent names and product terms, 25 sample outputs for review and 30 days of support.
Does AI Video Translation change anything besides the words?
No, the pacing, visuals and references from the original video stay unchanged. Only the spoken audio, captions, or both, are translated into the language you choose. If you also need cultural references adjusted or the video adapted more broadly for a new market, that is AI Video Localization instead.
What does AI Video Translation cost to run each month?
Typically $20 to $150 a month in AI model and media-generation usage, billed in your own accounts, moving with how many videos you translate. You see every charge on your own provider bill, since nothing runs through us and every account, including your CMS or drive, stays in your name.
Can AI Video Translation dub the audio, not just add captions?
Yes, you choose during intake whether you need translated captions, a dubbed audio track, or both, for up to three output formats. Either way, the visuals and pacing of the original video are kept the same, so only the language of what is said or read on screen changes.
What do we need to provide before AI Video Translation can launch?
We need your brand guidelines, ten to twenty reference examples, the original video with its script and captions, your target language, and a short glossary of names and product terms that must stay consistent. You also name one reviewer, ideally a fluent speaker, to approve the translated output before it is published.
Why choose AI Video Translation over AI Video Localization?
Choose Translation when the words need to be understood in another language, with nothing else changed. This family has three tiers. AI Captioning adds captions in the original language. AI Video Translation translates the captions, the audio or both. AI Video Localization also adapts on-screen text and cultural references for a new market.
Can we add a second target language later?
Yes, translating an existing video into a new language fits inside the monthly change hours in maintenance for smaller updates. A full additional-language batch across many videos is quoted as an add-on, priced before it starts. For either, share the original video, script and captions. Maintenance can be cancelled any month.
