Translating Your Video into another Language (Automatically!)
Jul 18, 2024Transcript:
Here's how to translate your Descript project from one language into another.
First find the project you want to translate. I'm just going to pick one here. I'll use this one at the bottom. And open it up.
And then what you're going to do is go into Under Lord in the top right. Scroll down in here until you find translate. Click on that.
And then you'll choose what language you want to translate it to.
And for just the transcript portion of this, you can translate it to one of 23 different languages. So you can pick any of those here. Um, for actually translating into the speech, you're going to be more limited.
So once I toggle this on, that's going to be the speech portion of it. And then you'll see that I only have five choices, English, French, German, Italian, and Spanish for the speech portion. Then it's going to say what speaker you're translating from and what speaker translating to.
So right now the assigned speaker is just the generic road connect stream. It's just the microphone that I used. I'm going to switch that to myself. So I'll just name it as Ross. And then it's also going to be the AI speaker that I translated to In that language that I'm translating to. So it's going to be the same one ROS 2.0.
And I'll hit submit. Under Lord is thinking. And almost immediately within five seconds. It translates the transcript.
So on the left side, we have our original language, which was English. And then on the right side, we have the translated language, which is Spanish.
And for some reason, I see that this is throwing errors. So you can see it says generating speech and this takes a while and it's very hit or miss. I've had a lot of errors when I've been testing this. And by the way I tried to do this in the desktop app and it doesn't work at all So I am on the web version This is web dot D script.com and it seems to work better here. But I'm going to give this a few minutes and I'll check back in when it's done.
Okay, it's done.
Let's see if we can play this thing.
So.
I'm getting some spinning action going on.
So it's not working. This is, this has been very hit or miss for me.
So, what I'm going to do is just refresh this page because it's not quite working right. And let's see if that fixes the issue. Okay. And then to go back to our translation, this button appears once you've made a translation, it's at the top middle, and when you click on it, you can see whatever languages you've translated something to.
So click on that and we're back in this page. And now I can see the previous. I think this should work. Let's go ahead and play it, but a fit I'm not.
pretty cool.
I don't know if you could hear that, but that was me speaking in Spanish. Even though I speaking in English.
Happy translating.
