Visual Guides: How To Translate A Video without Sound
| Dec 18, 2018
We look at how to translate video content. Translation is the communication of the meaning of a source-language text by means of an equivalent target-language text1. In brief, we will (i) upload a video, (ii) add text, (iii) translate the video text, (iv) download a translated video.
Steps
- We need a sample video to work with, and will use the Big Bunny video from Sample Video’s.
- Click on the New Item button to create an item. Then, and upload the video as per the below.
- Now, we are going to add some text. This text will be translated in the next step. Click on Text Overlays, add an overlay, and add text as per below image. It should be noted, we have used font 60, and used a yellow text colour.
- Play the video to see below. It should be noted, this is a Text Overlay, and not a Caption. We could also have used a caption here if required. Please watch the video below.
- The next step will be a translation, we will translate ‘Hello World’ to German. Use the Action -> Translate, and select the required language. Note: Cost shown below is indicative, all documentation is written using our UAT environment.
- Once complete, the process produces the below. Congratulations, you have translated your video.
