# 1-Click Translation

> Translate your video into 74 languages with AutoRetime™. Review the drafts, generate, and publish each language version.

Section: Docs › Translation

AutoRetime™ translates any video into 74 languages with a single click. The AI generates a localized narration script, voiceover, captions, and adapts video timing automatically — no re-recording, no manual timeline editing.

Translations land as **drafts** inside a Translation Folder. You review each language, generate the video, and publish — separately or all at once.

## Two ways to start

Translation can be launched from inside the project editor or directly from the Videos dashboard. Both routes open the same language picker.

**From the project editor**

Open the project menu and choose **Translate**.

**From the Videos dashboard**

Click the three-dot menu on a video tile and choose **Translate**.

## Choosing languages

Tick the languages you want, then click **Translate** to kick off all of them in one pass.

For each selected language, Tutorial AI:

- Translates the narration script
- Generates a new AI voiceover in the target language
- Adjusts video timing via AutoRetime™ to match the new voiceover length
- Updates captions to the translated text
- Keeps zoom effects, cursor highlights, and slides in sync
- Groups the source and every translated copy into an automatic [Virtual Translation Folder](https://www.tutorial.ai/docs/getting-started/organizing-videos#virtual-translation-folders)

## The Translation Folder

Every language version is created as a separate **draft project** inside the Translation Folder. The folder inherits the source video's name.

> **Caution:** **Translations don't auto-publish.** Each language is created as a draft so you can review the translated script before committing to a render. The video is generated and published in the next step.

## Review, generate, and publish

For each language version:

1. Open the translation from the Translation Folder.

2. Review the translated script — fix any names, terms, or phrasing. For tricky pronunciations (brand names, acronyms), use the [Pronunciation Lexicon](https://www.tutorial.ai/docs/voiceover/pronunciations).

3. Open the **Share** menu and click **Generate** to render the video for this language.

4. Wait for generation to complete.

5. **Publish** — push the language version live. You can publish each language separately, or use **Republish all** to push every generated language at once.

   ![Share menu with generate and publish controls for a translated language](https://www.tutorial.ai/images/help/help-translate-publish.cb6d20f4.png)

Once published, every language appears immediately in the in-player [Language Selector](https://www.tutorial.ai/docs/translation/video-player) — no embed-code change needed in your host pages.

## Why AutoRetime™ matters

Different languages vary significantly in length — a sentence that takes 3 seconds in English might take 5 seconds in German or 2 seconds in Japanese. Without timing adaptation, translations would either:

- **Cut off** if the translation is longer than the original
- **Have awkward pauses** if the translation is shorter

AutoRetime™ adjusts video timing so captions, click events, zoom effects, and scene cuts stay perfectly synchronized with the translated voiceover.

## What gets translated

| Element | Translated? |
|---------|------------|
| Narration script | Yes — full translation |
| AI voiceover | Yes — regenerated in target language |
| Captions | Yes — if present |
| Slides text | Yes — title, body, and bullet text |
| Video timing | Yes — adjusted via AutoRetime™ |
| Zoom/cursor effects | Timing adapts, effects preserved |
| Screen recording content | No — the recording itself stays the same. To show your interface in the target language, [replace the clip](https://www.tutorial.ai/docs/editing/update-or-replace-footage#showing-the-interface-in-a-translated-projects-language) with a localized recording |

## Translation quality

- Translations are generated using state-of-the-art AI models.
- Each translation creates a **separate project version** — the original is never modified.
- The translated script is fully editable; regenerate the video after edits to roll them in.
