How to translate a video or audio file into another language

Once a file is transcribed, Gaston can translate it into dozens of languages right from the player, no re-uploading, no separate tool, and you can watch the progress happen live.

1. Open a transcribed file

Log in and open any file in your library that has already finished transcribing. If you haven't transcribed anything yet, see the transcription guide first.

2. Open the language toolbar in the player

In the player controls, find the language icon and click it to open the quick-translate toolbar. It lists any translations you already have, plus a button to add a new one.

3. Pick your target language

Choose the language you want to translate into from the list. Free accounts can translate to English; PRO accounts can translate into any of the supported languages.

4. Watch the live progress

Gaston starts translating in the background and shows a progress percentage right on the language button, so you can keep watching your video while it works. Once it's done, switch between the original and the translated transcript any time.

Need the translated audio too, not just the text? Take a look at the voice cloning guide below, it dubs the video in the new language while keeping the original speaker's voice.
