El futuro de la IA — translated to English

Transcript Summary Repurpose

00:00:04 People think the hard part of AI is the math. It is not — the hard part is the data nobody wants to clean.

00:00:12 A model is only as honest as the examples you feed it. Garbage in, confident garbage out.

00:00:21 That is why the best teams spend eighty percent of their time on the boring work.

00:00:29 The magic everyone talks about is really just discipline nobody films.

How to translate a video to English.

The fastest way to understand a foreign-language video: paste the link, and read it in English in about fifteen seconds.

From any source language

Whatever language the video is in, you get English out. We auto-detect the source — Spanish, French, German, Japanese, Arabic, Hindi, and dozens more — so you never have to tell us what you are translating from. Supported source languages: 🇪🇸 Spanish · 🇫🇷 French · 🇩🇪 German · 🇧🇷 Portuguese · 🇨🇳 Chinese · 🇯🇵 Japanese · 🇰🇷 Korean · 🇸🇦 Arabic · 🇮🇳 Hindi · 🇷🇺 Russian · 🇮🇹 Italian · 🇳🇱 Dutch · 🇵🇱 Polish · 🇹🇷 Turkish · 🇻🇳 Vietnamese · 🇹🇭 Thai · 🇸🇪 Swedish · 🇩🇰 Danish · 🇳🇴 Norwegian · 🇫🇮 Finnish · 🇨🇿 Czech · 🇬🇷 Greek · 🇷🇴 Romanian · 🇭🇺 Hungarian · 🇺🇦 Ukrainian · 🇸🇰 Slovak · 🇧🇬 Bulgarian · 🇭🇷 Croatian · 🇷🇸 Serbian · 🇮🇱 Hebrew · 🇮🇷 Persian · 🇮🇩 Indonesian · 🇲🇾 Malay · 🇵🇭 Filipino · 🇧🇩 Bengali · 🇮🇳 Tamil · 🇵🇰 Urdu · 🇪🇸 Catalan · 🇰🇪 Swahili.

Meaning, not a literal word swap

Cheap translators map words one-for-one and produce English that reads like a manual. We translate the meaning of each sentence, keeping idioms, names, and tone intact — so the English sounds like something a native speaker would actually say.

English subtitles that stay in sync

Export the English translation as SRT or VTT and it inherits the original video's cue timing. Your English captions line up with the speaker instead of drifting — drop the file into CapCut, Premiere, DaVinci, or straight onto a YouTube upload.

Works when the video has no captions

Many foreign videos never had a subtitle track, so caption-only tools return nothing. We start from the audio: transcribe the original speech, then translate it to English — so voice-overs, old uploads, and livestream replays all work.

No download, no account to start

This is a browser-based tool — no software, no Chrome extension, no signup to try. Paste a foreign-language URL, and the English is on your screen seconds later.

FAQ

Translate-to-English questions.

How do I translate a video to English?

Paste the video URL into the box at the top of this page. English is already selected as the target language, so just click Translate — we transcribe the original audio and return an English translation in seconds.

What languages can I translate to English from?

Any of 39 source languages, including Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Mandarin, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Hindi, Russian, Turkish, and Vietnamese. The source language is detected automatically.

Do I have to tell it what language the video is in?

No. The source language is detected from the audio automatically. You only pick the target — and English is already the default, so foreign-to-English needs zero configuration.

Can I get English subtitles, not just text?

Yes. Export the English translation as SRT or VTT and the cue timing from the original video is preserved, so the English captions stay in sync with the speaker. TXT and PDF are also available for reading.

Is translating a video to English free?

Your first translations are free with no signup or credit card. Paid plans start at a few dollars a month afterward — see the credits page for pricing.

How accurate is the English translation?

We transcribe the original audio at high accuracy, then translate the meaning of each sentence rather than swapping words one-for-one. The result reads naturally in English and keeps names, idioms, and tone intact.

Does it work on videos without existing subtitles?

Yes. Because we start from the spoken audio rather than an existing caption file, foreign videos with no subtitle track — voice-overs, old uploads, livestream replays — all translate to English fine.
