Step 3
Review the transcript
Check names, links, product terms, and calls to action before publishing.
Step 4
Download the files
Use the dubbed video, separate audio, transcript, or subtitle file in your publishing workflow.
Step 5
Add translated metadata
Write a translated title and description for the same audience as the new audio.
Step 6
Check the published video
Watch the video on YouTube and confirm that the audio and subtitles are assigned correctly.
Before publishing
Keep the translated version tied to the original message
The audio, subtitles, title, and description should all serve the same audience.
- Use only video and voices you have permission to translate.
- Keep names and brand terms consistent across audio and metadata.
- Review links, prices, and dates in the translated description.
- Check subtitle timing after YouTube processes the upload.
- State when a voice has been generated if viewers may mistake it for a new recording.
- Keep the original audio available when YouTube supports several audio tracks.
