The Audio Translator tool lets you automatically translate your audio files using translated subtitles and AI voiceovers embedded into a video. You can also save the translation as a TXT or SRT file.
Refer to this article to see the list of supported formats.
Add audio

Translate audio
- Select the original language of the audio and the language you need to translate it to, and then click Start Translation.
To achieve a more accurate translation of subtitles, make sure the audio track has good quality and minimal background noise, no overlapping speech or multiple languages being spoken, and that you have chosen the correct language/accent options for both the original and translation languages.

When you translate the subtitles again, the new translation replaces the previous one.

Voiceover and subtitle options
You can preview the translated subtitles in the preview window. However, the translated voiceover will be applied after exporting the video.
By default, after exporting, the translated video will include the translated subtitles and AI voiceover, that will replace the original voice in the audio.
You can choose to have both subtitles and voiceover, or just one of the options. To adjust these settings, click the gear icon at the bottom of the screen, and then do one of the following:
- To show or hide the subtitles, toggle the Include subtitles switch on or off.
- To enable or disable the voiceover translation, toggle the Change speech switch on or off. Select the AI voice from the Voice drop-down menu.
Export and download video
- To save the video file, click the Export video button at the bottom right and wait for the process to complete.
- Once you have exported the project, you can do one of the following:
- To review the file, click the Play icon in the Preview pane.
- To remove the watermark, click Remove watermark (you will proceed to the Pricing page to buy a Clideo Pro plan).
- To save the file to your device, click Download.
- To save the file to your Google Drive or Dropbox storage account, hover over or click the arrow to the right of the Download button.
- To return to editing, click Edit.
- To proceed with editing in another Clideo tool, under Continue in…, select one of the icons (a Clideo Pro Plan is required).
If the Export button is inactive, you have errors in timestamps. Such timestamps are outlined in red. To fix that, make sure the timestamps are in the correct format: 00:00:00 (Hours, Minutes, Seconds) and do not overlap.
