# What Is Video Translation in OneTake?

Video translation in OneTake allows you to create a new language version of an existing video by **changing the spoken audio**, not just the text on screen. When a translation is created, OneTake generates a **dubbed version** of your video in the selected language. The original video remains unchanged. Each translated version exists as its own entry under the same project.
### How translation works in OneTake
When you translate a video in OneTake, the platform:
* Uses your original video as the base
* Converts the spoken audio into another language
* Produces a new video with dubbed audio in the selected language
* Keeps the same visuals, edits, pacing, and structure as the original video
This means translation is not a text-only process. It affects the **spoken content of the video**.
### Voice usage during translation
By default, OneTake uses your **pre-recorded voice** to dub the translated version of the video.
This requires:
* A recorded voice sample
* Clear audio quality
* A consistent speaking style
The translated video will sound like your voice speaking the target language.
If you choose **dynamic voice cloning**, OneTake assigns generated voices to speakers instead of using your own voice. This option also requires a good-quality voice sample.
### What translation creates
Each translation results in:
* A new video version
* A new language label
* Its own processing status
* Independent sharing and export options
Translations do not overwrite or replace the original video.
### Translation vs subtitles
Translation in OneTake is different from subtitles.
* Translation changes the **spoken language**
* Subtitles only display text on screen
* Translation produces a dubbed video
* Subtitles do not change the audio
| If you want viewers to hear the video in another language, translation is required.
### Supported languages
OneTake supports **100+ languages** for translation.
This includes, but is not limited to:
* English
* Spanish
* French
* German
* Italian
* Portuguese
* Japanese
* Korean
* Polish
* Indonesian
* Vietnamese
* and many more
Available languages are shown in the translation language selector inside the editor.
### Where translations are managed
Translations are managed inside the project editor:
* Open a project
* Click **Translations** in the top toolbar
* View existing translations
* Create new translations
* Track processing status
Each translated version appears in the list with its language and status.
### Processing and status
When a translation is created, it goes through these states:
* **Queued** – waiting to be processed
* **Processing** – translation is being generated
* **Published** – translation is complete and available
| Processing time depends on video length and system load. You do not need to keep the editor open while processing.
### Plan and usage considerations
* Translation availability depends on your subscription plan
* Translation minutes are consumed per translated video
* Each language counts as a separate translation
* Voice quality directly affects translation quality
### What translation does not do
Video translation in OneTake does not:
* Add subtitles automatically
* Change visuals or layouts
* Modify branding or styles
* Replace the original video
||| It only changes the spoken language while keeping the rest of the video intact.
