Questions

Common questions

Is my film file uploaded anywhere?

No. The video file stays on your computer; only the audio pieces needed to recognize the speech are sent.

What language does the film need to be in?

Almost any. It recognizes the speech and translates it into English or many other languages.

Is the translation as good as a professional translator?

No, it is an AI translation. You can follow the story comfortably; if you plan to publish, download the SRT and correct it.

What if the film already has embedded subtitles?

Supported embedded text subtitles are translated directly: faster and five times cheaper in points.

What if my file won't open?

A very large or unusual MKV may not open. Converting the same film to MP4 usually fixes it.

Which devices does WatchTranslate work on?

On phones, the Android and iPhone apps. On computers, the Chrome or Edge extension for online video and the Windows or Mac app for video files.
