Content should never be limited by language barriers. Take, for example, the many Italian videos that could have reached and impacted thousands if only they were in English. However, since Italian is spoken in a few countries, these videos stay confined to a smaller audience. That highlights how important it is to translate Italian videos to English.

But to many, it seems like a long and tiring process. Wondershare Filmora's AI tool steps in by offering an easy solution that lets you translate video from Italian to English in just a few clicks.

Part 1: Modern AI Tools Translate Italian Video to English

Since communication is the first step of interaction, translation tools have been in place for years. Following Google's footsteps, multiple translations have been in the trend.

And yes, modern AI tools can translate Italian videos, but most of them simply offer translation of the subtitles. So, it's a lot of manual struggle to first translate the scripts and then recreate the video with translated voice-over.

Wondershare Filmora offers an all-around solution that covers all translation aspects. Its AI tool can translate both the voice and subtitles of Italian video.

Part 3: How to Manually Translate Video from Italian to English

The automation is very precise and excellent for quick translation. But, if you want more control over the translation, then you may try this method.

Within Filmora, you can first translate the Italian video into an English script, make linguistic changes, and then change that text back to speech. Yes, it's time-consuming, but offers more control, especially if you may want to add some detail (in audio) that might be missing due to lexical gaps.

The initial steps are the same as in the earlier method- import the video clip into 'Timeline Toolbar' and then start following these steps.

Step 1Translate Voice to Text

Right-click 'Video Playback' and navigate to 'Speech to Text'. It will take you to a window screen where you've to select certain options for translation. First, select the audio language that needs translation and the target language.

Choose if you want to transcribe just a selected clip or the whole timeline. Finally, select the output, do you want it: SRT format or Titles (separate text fragments)? Press 'Generate'.

Step 2Customize and Edit Subtitles

Double on the new 'Translation Playback', and you'll see a lot of customization options. You can manually review the translated subtitles, and make changes - add or remove words before they change into the voiceover.

Once done with all the editing, press 'Save' and close it.

Step 3Convert Text Subtitles to Audio

Right-click the 'Translate playback' in the timeline and choose 'Text to speech'. It takes to a window with customization of options for voice over. In the English language, Fillmore has close to 50 male and female voices. Get their preview and choose a suitable voice for the translation.

Step 4Further Editing

The translated voiceover comes in fragments for each scene - that's a drawback of this manual procedure and in some cases, you have to manually arrange the audio fragments in order.
