Russian video translator

Russian

Russian 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 Russian lines. Off, your picture stays exactly as it was and only the voice changes.

Proofread the Russian script

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

Russian subtitles in the picture

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

Choose ty or vy

Russian distinguishes the familiar ty from the polite vy. Brands, tutorials and business content mostly address the viewer as vy; some young lifestyle brands and gaming creators use ty. Decide once and read the translated script with only that in mind, because a switch halfway through sounds careless.

Russian runs long

Russian words are often long and grammatical endings add syllables, so a dense English line can come back sounding hurried. While you proofread, shorten long phrases, drop words that repeat what is on screen, and split the longest sentences.

Names in Cyrillic

Foreign names and brands are written in Cyrillic, and many companies already have an agreed Russian spelling, while others keep their Latin name. Check every name in the script against how your brand appears in Russian, and keep technical terms your users actually say.

Gender agreement in the past tense

Russian verbs in the past tense change with the gender of the speaker: a man says ya sdelal, a woman ya sdelala. If a woman speaks in your video, check that the script agrees throughout, since a translation can default to the masculine.

Software and online services

Product demos, onboarding videos and webinars in Russian reach users across many countries at once. Proofread the interface terms so the voice matches what users see on screen.

Education and online courses

Course creators can reach Russian speaking learners across the region with lessons translated from English. Each lesson is its own job, checked and corrected while you proofread.

Games and entertainment

Russian speaking players are a large gaming audience. Trailers, developer updates and tutorials in Russian reach them directly, and lip sync keeps presenters natural on screen.

Creators and documentaries

Channels about science, history or technology can reach Russian speaking viewers, long used to voiced translation, with the videos they already have.

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.
