Translating a podcast: what a potential!

You produce a weekly podcast to promote your products. You are right to do so! Listeners of all generations are very fond of audio recordings. It has to be said that podcasts are one of the new ways of consuming information. Apple, for example, has over 800,000 podcasts on its platform. Moreover, thanks to this type of media, you can now engage a global audience. That’s an interesting way to increase your popularity rating, isn’t it? But you need to know what to translate! Here Videomenthe explains why and how to make a top-notch transcription of your podcast.

Translating a podcast: a real added value

Are you reluctant to share the added value of your words outside France? Read on to find out why. You will also find tips on how to get your voice out there.

Why translate a podcast?

You are wondering whether you should translate your audio recording into several languages. You should not procrastinate! It is an excellent way of attracting foreign podcast consumers.

Take a look at the activity of the competition in your sector. You will see that other companies are already addressing Internet users in other countries.

It would be a pity if your future foreign followers were to subscribe to your competitors’ channel rather than yours!

As you can see, the transcription and translation of your podcast is more than necessary.

So, let’s see first what you absolutely must translate.

What to translate in a podcast?

Do you want to gain visibility on the other side of the world? Transcribing your words into the foreign language of your choice is, of course, a must.

You should know that in order to be well referenced on a foreign search engine, you must, as a bonus, add in the chosen language :

  • Your theme ;
  • The keywords;
  • The precise description of your content.

This is the only way that Internet users worldwide will be able to hear your voice!

How can I translate a podcast into another language?

There are several ways to translate your audio recording. Let’s take a look at these alternatives together?

Using free translation tools

Do you want to translate your podcast into English or Chinese? You can use a free online translation generator to transcribe it.

Translation services

The American giant Google provides you with this type of service for free. Google translate, for example, speaks 108 languages. This translation software is even capable of transposing your words into certain dialects.

The YouTube platform has long been generating French subtitles. It also allows you to translate your podcast into 76 languages.

The disadvantages of this type of translation  

At first glance, such online aids have a significant advantage: they translate your text automatically.

However, the accuracy of the translation sometimes leaves something to be desired. You may therefore end up with a text that no foreign listener will be able to decipher.

As a result, you are forced to use a translator to check the accuracy of your words in the desired language.

In the end, you will have wasted time generating your text. As a bonus, you will be forced to open your wallet to pay for the services of a faithful translation.

As you can see, this type of approach is likely to cost you more than you thought!

So is there a more reliable and inexpensive solution? I’ll give you another one right away.
