is it possible to translate the audio of movie into other language?

dear friends

need to know if there is any tool where the audio dialogues of any video or movie can be translated into other language? 


1 person has this question

Is it possible for you to translate my movie into English for me? I really want to watch a documentary from the History Channel but it is in Spanish and I do not speak Spanish. It does not give me the option to use close caption/subtitles as English. Please help. Here is the link:

Thank you for your request, Eldridge.


Actually, in the YouTube video, you can:


  • click the cogwheel icon for "Settings" (bottom right of the player)
  • click on Subtitles/CC
  • click on "Portuguese (autogenerated)": that will make the "Portuguese (autogenerated)" captions (1) appear on the video
  • click again on "Portuguese (autogenerated)", then click on "auto-translate" and choose English

This sounds like a recipy for lousiness, but actually, the result is rather usable, if you bear in mind that errors from both automations get compounded.


However, considering the interest of the documentary, I have added it to Amara in https://amara.org/en/videos/21gO9OGGHQfh/info/, then I added the autogenerated YouTube captions.  Finally I added the Amara page to the Captions Requested team. Hopefully some of the members will volunteer to fix the aumated captions, and later to translate them into English.


You could also use your social networks to incite people who know Brazilian Portuguese to do these things: Amara is really easy to use.


Best.

(1) In fact, the video is in Brazilian Portuguese, not in Spanish.

do amara does not offer to translate audio?

Thank you for your question, harryking.


The Amara tool can be used to caption an audio file and then translate it - or you can pay to have this done, as explained in https://amara.org/en/purchase-subtitles/.
https://amara.org/en/purchase-subtitles/. But no, the Amara tool cannot create a translated audio file. As I explained above, you could use text to speech software to transform the translated written file into an audio file, or hire a human native speaker who would read it aloud, but that's no longer something you can do within Amara.

Hello. Can someone translate this video? Ive been searching for eng subtitle but i never found it.

Hello, Hidetomato.


I replied to you in I want to request this video to be subtitled but i dont know how to upload it.

Hi Elisa, 



Thank you for having posted this also on the forum, which will allow me to refer to your question if someone else asks. 



100% safe: 
  • If the video is on YouTube, you can activate the  transcript generated by the automatic captions: click on the ... under  the player, right, then click on Open Transcript. 
  • When the transcript appears, click on the vertical ...  right and choose "Toggle timestamps" to remove the timestamps: you can  now copy the transcript and paste it in a .txt file.
  • Make sure that the subtitle lines are separated by a blank line and save as an UTF8 encoded .txt file
  • Upload the .txt file to your Amara page. (*). The  generated captions won't be timed, but it perhaps does not matter all  that much if what you're interested in is the translated subtitles.


Very safe (at least I never had issues with it):

  • Download the automatic captions with http://downsub.com/ (no need to sign up)
  • Upload the downloaded .srt caption file to your Amara page  (*) The captions will be synced, which is nice if someone else is  interested in syncing them per se.

Best,



Claude

(*) In both cases, I upload the captions to Amara as  being in one of the "Metadata" languages  (not Metadata  Audiodescription, because that's real, bt say, Metadata Geo) and I  indicate in the description that they are automatically generated, lest  others be puzzled ;)

I'm quite new to Amara but am working on TWP script translation tool/service but am interesting whether there is such a thing as an amara api which can be intergrated into a website or some other platform?

Hi Michael,


Yes, Amara has an API and embedder options to display videos on your website with captions and translations.
These links share more information on both options:

Dear friends,

Till now there is no software that converts any audio to another language because the reason is the software is not human things that's why it cannot feel the human emotion when they talk in the movie or other places, well you can convert any video to audio by youtubetomp3converters. Also, you can add the subtitle in any language.

please help me translate this youtube video from hindi language to english using subtitles.

thanks

Thank you for your request, Denmark High. 


However, this is is support forum for people encountering issues with Amara's subtitling tool. You might find other venues where more people might be willing to produce these English subtitles.


Best way would be to first create an Amara page for the video, and then try to ask in forums dedicated to this series or, more generally, to Indian movies - indicating the URL of the Amara page.


Best


Claude
