Translate a YouTube Video with AI
Paste a YouTube link, choose a target language, and DubbyLab transcribes, translates and re-voices the video automatically.
Translating YouTube videos with DubbyLab
DubbyLab accepts a YouTube or social link as a source alongside direct video and audio uploads, so you don't need to download a file first to start a translation.
This is meant for content you own or have the rights to translate and republish — your own channel's videos, or footage you're licensed to localize — not for translating and re-uploading someone else's YouTube content.
You're responsible for having the rights to translate and reuse the source video. DubbyLab processes the video or audio you provide to produce a dubbed version for your own use — it doesn't host, index or redistribute third-party YouTube content.
How it works
- Paste the YouTube link — Add the link instead of uploading a file, and tell DubbyLab how many speakers to expect.
- Automatic transcription — Speech is split into timed, speaker-labelled segments.
- Translation — Segments are translated into your target language, staying editable before audio is generated.
- Voice generation — Each segment is re-voiced with a studio voice or a cloned version of the original speaker's voice.
- Export — Download the dubbed audio, or the merged video, ready to publish.
Why creators translate YouTube videos
- Publishing a channel in more than one language
- Reaching audiences that DubbyLab's languages open up, without re-filming
- Localizing back-catalog videos that were only ever published in one language
- Testing a new market before committing to a full multi-language channel strategy
Frequently asked questions
Can I paste a YouTube link instead of uploading a file?
Yes — DubbyLab accepts a YouTube or social link as a source, the same as a direct video or audio upload.
Do I need the rights to the video to translate it?
Yes. You should own the content or have the rights to translate and republish it — DubbyLab dubs the video you provide, it doesn't grant rights to someone else's content.
Will DubbyLab re-upload or host the original YouTube video?
No. DubbyLab processes the audio and video you provide to produce a dubbed version for you to use — it doesn't store or redistribute the source as a public copy.
Can I keep my own voice in the translated version?
Yes, if you're the speaker — DubbyLab can clone the original speaker's voice so the translated version still sounds like them.
