Translate Videos From English to Spanish

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I translate a video from English to Spanish?

Upload your English video to Pictory, let it transcribe the audio, translate the transcript into Spanish, then choose a Spanish AI voice and generate matching subtitles. Review the Spanish text before you export, then download the video and subtitle file.

Which Spanish should I use — Castilian or Latin American?

Choose by audience. Castilian suits Spain, while Latin American Spanish reaches far more people across twenty countries and the United States. For content aimed at all of Latin America, a region-light neutral Spanish is the industry norm. Pictory lets you produce each variant by editing the translated script.

Do Spanish-speaking audiences prefer dubbing or subtitles?

Both Spain and most of Latin America have strong dubbing traditions and generally expect localized audio on film and television. A Spanish voiceover usually meets that expectation better than subtitles alone, though younger streaming audiences are comfortable with either. Pictory generates both from one upload.

Will the Spanish version keep my own voice?

Yes. Create a voice clone from your own recordings and apply it to the translated script, and the Spanish version is narrated in your voice rather than a stock one. Voice clones are multilingual, so the same clone works across every language you publish in.

How accurate is the English to Spanish translation?

Accuracy is strong when the source audio is clean and clearly paced, and the translation is fully editable before you render. Review the Spanish transcript, correct brand names or technical terms, and the voiceover and captions regenerate around your edits.

Can I translate a Spanish video back into English?

Yes — the workflow runs in both directions from the same upload. Pictory transcribes the Spanish audio, translates it to English, and generates an English voiceover and subtitles the same way.
