# How To Translate Your Videos Using OneTake

OneTake allows you to create translated versions of an existing video directly from the editor. Translations are generated from your original video and appear as separate versions under the same project.
### Where to find Translations

Inside an open project, the **Translations** option is available in the top toolbar.
Click **Translations** to open the translation panel. This is where all translated versions of the video are managed.
### How voice dubbing works
When OneTake translates a video, it uses **your pre-recorded voice** to dub the entire translated video by default.
This means:
* The translated version keeps your voice
* Speech timing is adjusted to match the translated language
* The result is a dubbed video, not just subtitles
|| If you choose dynamic voice cloning, each speaker in the video will be assigned a generated voice instead of your own. This option requires a high-quality voice sample to work properly.
### Recording your voice sample
Before creating a translation, OneTake may prompt you to record a voice sample.
Click **Record your voice sample now** and follow the on-screen instructions.
For best results:
* Record in a quiet environment
* Speak clearly at a natural pace
* Use a consistent microphone if possible
This voice sample is used to generate accurate and natural-sounding dubbing in other languages.
### Creating a translation
To create a translated version:
1. Click **Translations** in the project toolbar
2. Confirm or record your voice sample if prompted
3. Choose the target language from the list
4. Click **Create new translation**
Once created, the translation enters a processing state.

### Translation status and processing
Each translation shows a status in the list:
* **Queued**: Translation is waiting to be processed
* **Processing**: OneTake is generating the translated video
* **Published**: The translated version is complete and available

Processing time depends on video length and system load. You can leave the page while processing continues.
### Managing translated videos
Each translated version:
* Appears under the same project
* Has its own title and language label
* Can be viewed, shared, or exported independently
* Does not overwrite the original video
You can create multiple translations for the same video, one language at a time.
### What translations include
Translated versions retain:
* The original video structure
* Visual style and layout
* Edits and pacing from the original version
The main change is the spoken language through voice dubbing.
### Things to remember.
* Translations work on existing videos inside a project
* A valid translation allowance must be available on your plan
* Voice quality affects translation quality
* Each translation is processed separately
