Translate an English Video to Spanish: A Review-First Workflow

How do you translate an English video to Spanish?

Upload the original video, select English as the source and Spanish as the target language, then review the translated transcript, audio, and subtitles before exporting. The review step matters because names, brand terms, regional language choices, and timing need context.

Choose the right Spanish audience

Spanish is used across many regions. Decide who the video is for before final review: a broad Latin American audience, a country-specific audience, or viewers in Spain. This helps you evaluate vocabulary, formality, and product terminology consistently.

Translation checklist

1. Confirm English speech is transcribed correctly before translating.
2. Review product names, prices, dates, measurements, and links.
3. Listen to the Spanish audio with the video to catch timing issues.
4. Check subtitle line breaks and reading speed.
5. Export the video and subtitle format required by your publishing channel.

Dubbing or lip sync?

Use standard dubbing for tutorials, screen recordings, and off-camera narration. Use lip sync when a presenter or interview subject is visibly speaking and the visual delivery matters to the audience.
