When you need to create videos in different languages, Moovly’s translate feature can be a powerful tool to use. This process works via our Google Translate integration or via an XLIFF file upload


With the following instructions, you will be able to translate your project into the language of your choice. Translating subtitles can be done on the Dashboard and in the Moovly Studio .

  1.  With Google Translate you get the following options:



  • Pick the language you currently have in your project and choose the destination language.

  • The third option allows you to create a new project of the translation and/or add them to your existing project.
  • Finally, click Translate to start the translation of your project.
