# Translation

## Overview


After transcribing your audio or video, you can translate the transcript into any of the 70+ languages Speak AI supports. This is useful for multilingual teams, international research, or making content accessible to a wider audience.

## Translate

1. Open your transcribed media file
1. Click the **Translate** option in the file menu or actions bar
1. Select your target language
1. The translation will be generated and saved alongside your original transcript

## How it works

Translation is powered by AI and processes the full transcript text. The translated version is stored as a separate view, so your original transcript is always preserved. You can switch between the original and translated versions at any time.

## Usage and billing

Translation usage is measured by character count. Your plan includes a certain number of translation characters per month. You can check your remaining balance in your [account settings](https://app.speakai.co/profile/usage).

## Tips for better translations

- **Clean up the transcript first:** Fix any transcription errors before translating. Garbage in, garbage out.
- **Label speakers:** Speaker names carry over to the translation, making it easier to follow.
- **Technical terms:** Highly specialized terminology may need manual review after translation.

## Dubbing (audio translation)

For some use cases, Speak AI also supports dubbing, which generates a translated audio voiceover of your content. This is available as an advanced feature. Contact our team to learn more about dubbing capabilities.

For the full list of supported languages, see our [Supported Languages article](/help/transcription/languages/).
