# Translate Video to English

ToolSugar translates spoken video from another language into English subtitles. ToolSugar transcribes the speech, translates each line in your browser and keeps the original timing, leaving you with an English SRT, the source SRT and an optional burned-in MP4. The source language is detected automatically, so you do not need to know it.

Runs on your device

## How it works

1. Drop the foreign-language video. English is already chosen as the target.
2. Leave Spoken language on Detect automatically, unless detection picks the wrong language.
3. Read the English SRT in the preview, then download it or burn it into the video.

## Key facts

- **Target**: English, with the source language detected from the speech
- **Source file kept**: You also get the original-language SRT, to compare or to correct
- **Burned-in text**: English always fits our fonts, whichever language the speaker used
- **Uploaded**: Nothing. A translation model of about 632 MB downloads once and is cached

## Common uses

- Following a foreign lecture or news clip that has no English captions.
- Reviewing supplier or customer videos from abroad before replying.
- Sharing a family video from overseas with relatives who only read English.

## Questions

### Do I have to know what language the video is in?

No. Detection reads the speech and the result names the language it found. If the note names the wrong language, set Spoken language by hand and run it again. That usually fixes a poor translation.

### Which source languages work best?

Clear speech in widely spoken languages. We have tested detection on English, German and Hindi recordings ourselves. Accuracy for other languages depends on the small speech and translation models, so check a sample before translating anything long.

### Can I trust the translation for legal or medical content?

Treat it as a way to understand the content, not a certified translation. Both steps are done by small models and can get details wrong. Have anything that matters checked by a qualified person who speaks the source language.
