Free video translation from English to French

Got time on your hands? The good news is that free translation solutions exist. Let’s have a look around together? 

Automatic transcription from English to French  

You want to use a free video translation application. When you don’t speak a word of English, it is indeed tempting.

You can, for example, use voice input to translate a video from English to French. Beware, you may not like the result.

The French text you get may indeed sound like gibberish! You will therefore have to check the subtitles again.

On top of that, you will have to check the correct position of your timecodes. It’s better that your subtitles are positioned under the right image, don’t you think?

Translating into French with YouTube, the process

Do you share your videos on YouTube? This platform allows you to translate and add subtitles in the language of your choice. Here again, you transcribe from English to French, thanks to an automatic translation system.

Try this alternative, but don’t expect miracles if you want a professional result! Like many fully automated translation solutions, its performance is still not up to your expectations.

So maybe you’ve thought about hiring a translator?
