Korean video translator

Korean

Korean is selected when you start from this page. Add any other language in the same job; each is priced on its own.

Lip sync, on or off

On, the speakers' mouths are rendered again to match the Korean lines. Off, your picture stays exactly as it was and only the voice changes.

Proofread the Korean script

Read the transcript beside its Korean translation, line by line, and correct it before anything is voiced. Or upload your own Korean .srt or .vtt and the dub says exactly those lines.

Korean subtitles in the picture

When the dub comes back with its Korean script, style the subtitles and export a copy with them burned in, set in Noto Sans KR unless you pick another font.

Pick the right speech level

Korean grammar changes with politeness. Most brand videos, tutorials and presenters use the polite haeyo style; formal announcements and corporate content often use the more formal hamnida style; casual speech is reserved for close friends. Decide the level that fits your speaker and keep it consistent through the whole script.

Watch the length of each line

Korean sentences put the verb at the end and often need more syllables than English. A packed English line can come back sounding rushed. While you proofread, simplify the densest lines and drop pronouns that Korean would naturally leave out.

Names and loanwords in Hangul

Foreign names and brands are written in Hangul, and many companies already have an agreed Korean spelling. Check each name in the script, and keep the English loanwords Koreans actually use in tech, beauty and gaming instead of formal alternatives.

Natural beats literal

Korean audiences notice translations that follow English word order. Read the script aloud once; if a line sounds like a textbook, rephrase it the way a Korean presenter would say it. A short, natural line always beats a long, faithful one.

Beauty, fashion and consumer brands

Korean shoppers compare products closely and watch reviews and demos before buying. Translate the product video, keep the brand and product names exactly as they appear in Korea, and download the Korean cut for each store.

Games and esports

Korea has one of the most devoted gaming audiences in the world. Trailers, patch notes and developer videos in Korean reach players directly, and one upload can also give you Japanese and Chinese.

Software and business content

Korean companies expect demos and webinars in Korean, in a formal register. Translate the English versions and check every product term while you proofread.

Creators and educators

Channels about travel, food, language learning or technology can reach Korean viewers with their existing videos. Lip sync keeps the presenter natural on screen.

The soundtrack stays

Sonilo keeps the original background music and sound effects and replaces only the speech, with lip sync on or off.

The speaker’s own voice

Sonilo keeps the speaker’s own voice in the new language, so the translated speech sounds like the person in your video, not a stock voice. There is no voice to record or set up.

Lip sync, when you want it

On: mouths are re-rendered to match the new language. Off: your original picture stays untouched and only the voice is replaced.

You approve the words

The translation is a script you can read and correct first. A product name, a joke, a line of dialogue: fix it before it is spoken.

Your subtitles, spoken

Upload an .srt or .vtt for a language and the dub says exactly those lines, instead of a machine translation of them.

Music for the new cut

Sonilo also adds music to video. If a translated version needs its own soundtrack, add music to it in the same account.
