Multi-Language Intermediate

One of Synthesia's most powerful features is the ability to translate and localize videos into 130+ languages with a few clicks. The same avatar speaks each language with native-sounding pronunciation and lip sync. This lesson covers the translation workflow, voice selection, cultural adaptation, and quality assurance.

Translation Workflow

1. Create the source video

   Build your video in the primary language (usually English). Finalize the script and visuals.

2. Duplicate for translation

   Use the "Translate" feature to create copies in target languages. Synthesia auto-translates the script.

3. Review translations

   Have native speakers review and edit the auto-translated scripts for accuracy and cultural fit.

4. Select voices

   Choose appropriate voices for each language. Consider gender, age, and accent matching.

5. Generate all versions

   Batch render all language versions. The avatar's lip movements adjust to each language.

Quality Assurance

Always have native speakers review the final rendered video, not just the script. Check that pronunciation is natural, lip sync is convincing, and the pacing feels right. Build a QA checklist for each language and track issues across iterations.
