Translate a Video

TL;DR; Translate a Video is in limited release — ask your Lupo contact to enable it for your account. Once it's on, upload a video, pick a language direction and a voice, and Lupo replaces the audio with a dubbed version and generates a matching subtitle file.

Before you start

  • Translate a Video needs to be enabled for your account. If you don't see it, ask your Lupo contact — it isn't something you can turn on yourself.
  • You need a video file, in .mp4 or .mov, 12 minutes or under.

Steps

  1. Go to Translate. If it's enabled for you, you'll see it as an option; if not, ask your Lupo contact rather than searching for it.

  2. Choose the video file you want translated.

  3. Choose a translation direction. Today that's English to Spanish or Spanish to English — the only pair with matching voices ready. Other language names may appear, but aren't available yet.

  4. Choose a voice. One voice narrates the entire video — this replaces the original audio track completely, so pick a voice you're happy hearing throughout, not just for one section.

  5. Select Translate. The page shows progress and updates on its own while the job runs — no need to keep it open, but you can leave it running in the background.

  6. When it's done, find your video under Your translations on the same page. From there you can download the translated video, the subtitle file, and a sync report.

What this doesn't do

Translate a Video dubs the whole video with a single voice — it doesn't keep multiple original speakers distinct, and it doesn't offer a faithful-replication mode versus a rewritten one the way converting a PDF to slides does.

Only English↔Spanish is available today, even though other languages are visible in the list.

You can only run 2 translations at once, and 10 in a day, per person.

Common issues

"This tool is not available for your account." — Translate isn't enabled for you yet. Ask your Lupo contact.

"That language pair is not available." — the direction you picked isn't calibrated yet; use English↔Spanish.

"The video is longer than the {0}-minute limit." — trim the video to 12 minutes or under and try again.

"We could not read how long this video is. Please upload it as an MP4 or MOV file." — the file isn't a format Lupo can read; re-export as .mp4 or .mov.

"You already have {0} translations running. Wait for one to finish and try again." — you're at the 2-concurrent limit; wait for one to finish.

"You have reached the limit of {0} translations in 24 hours. Please try again tomorrow." — the daily cap resets after 24 hours.
