What is a subtitle translator?

A subtitle translator turns the subtitles of a video into another language. In Pictory you open your video project and click Translate, and Pictory translates the script and its subtitles into a new project for each language you pick. Edit any line, style the subtitles and download them as files.

Multilingual subtitles from one video. Pick several languages at once and get a version in each, with the same visuals and brand kit.

To add a voice in the new language as well, use the AI video translator. To make subtitles in the first place, the subtitle generator.

Voiceover and subtitles

Subtitles or a full translation?

Translated subtitles let people read along in their language. For voiceover and subtitle translation together, add an AI voice in the new language to the translated project, and then the video speaks it too. The AI video translator covers both.
