AI video translation into Spanish
Spanish video translator
Upload a video in any of the other 21 languages. Sonilo translates it into Spanish (Spain or Latin America), Español, and voices every line again for viewers in Spain, Mexico, the rest of Latin America and the US. You can proofread the script before anything renders.
You pick the languages after signing up. Nothing is charged until you start the translation.

Who watches in Spanish
Spanish is the official language of some twenty countries and the most spoken language in the United States after English. A video in Spanish reaches viewers from Madrid to Mexico City, Bogotá, Buenos Aires and Los Angeles, and most of them would rather watch something in Spanish than read subtitles under English.
Those viewers do not all speak the same Spanish. Spain says vosotros, ordenador and coche; most of Latin America says ustedes, computadora and carro, and the accents differ even more than the words. That is why Sonilo dubs Spanish twice over: once for Spain and once for Latin America. Pick the one your audience lives in, or both in the same job when you sell on both sides of the Atlantic.
What Sonilo does in Spanish
Spanish for Spain or Latin America
Two regional versions, each voiced and priced as its own language. Spanish (Latin America) is selected when you start from this page; add the other one in the same job if your viewers are there too.
Lip sync, on or off
On, the speakers' mouths are rendered again to match the Spanish lines. Off, your picture stays exactly as it was and only the voice changes.
Proofread the Spanish script
Read the transcript beside its Spanish translation, line by line, and correct it before anything is voiced. Or upload your own Spanish .srt or .vtt and the dub says exactly those lines.
Spanish subtitles in the picture
When the dub comes back with its Spanish script, style the subtitles and export a copy with them burned in, set in Noto Sans unless you pick another font.
Getting Spanish right
What to check while you proofread a video going into Spanish.
Choose the Spanish your viewers speak
Latin American Spanish is preselected when you arrive from this page, because most Spanish speaking viewers live in the Americas. Switch to Spain if your audience is in Spain, or add it as a second language. Each version is voiced and priced on its own, so a viewer in Seville and a viewer in Monterrey each get a version made for them.
Spanish runs longer than English
The same sentence usually takes more syllables in Spanish than in English, so a fast English voiceover can come back sounding hurried. While you proofread, trim filler words and long phrases so each line fits its moment, especially in short ads and tutorials where every second is already full.
Decide between tú and usted
Spanish makes you choose how formal to be with the viewer. Brand and lifestyle content usually speaks to the viewer as tú; banking, healthcare and business training often keep usted. Read the translated script once with only this in mind and make every line agree, because a switch halfway through is the first thing a native speaker notices.
Keep names and product terms as they are
Product names, app buttons and on screen labels often stay in English in Spanish speaking markets. If your interface is not translated, keep those words in English in the script so the voice matches what viewers see on screen, and fix any brand name the translation tried to translate.
Who translates video into Spanish
YouTube and short video creators
Turn a channel that already works in English into a second channel, or a second audio language, for Spanish speakers. One upload gives you the Latin American version for Mexico, Colombia and Argentina, and the Spain version too if your analytics show viewers there.
Ads for the US Hispanic market
Many US campaigns run the same spot in English and Spanish. Translate the finished English cut instead of booking a second shoot, proofread the claims and the offer line, and keep lip sync on so the spokesperson looks natural in Spanish.
Online courses and product training
Course creators and software companies sell into Spain and Latin America with the videos they already have. Proofreading lets an instructor check every technical term before the lesson is voiced, and each module is a separate job you can redo on its own.
Online stores and product demos
A product demo in Spanish converts viewers who would skip an English one. Translate the demo, keep the product names in English where the store does, and download each version for the marketplace or social account it belongs to.
You read the script before it is voiced.
Four steps from the video you already have to the same video in Spanish.
- 01
Upload your video
An .mp4, .mov or .m4v up to 5 minutes and 400 MB. Sonilo detects the language that is spoken, so there is nothing to set. Add an .srt or .vtt per language if you already have the lines.
- 02
Pick Spanish
Choose Spanish (Spain or Latin America), add more languages if you like, and decide whether lip sync renders the mouths again to match.
- 03
Proofread the Spanish script
Switch on proofreading to read the transcript and the Spanish translation line by line, and fix names, product terms and jokes before anything is voiced.
- 04
Watch, then download
Play every language in the browser. Download the translated videos and their subtitles on any paid plan.
Made for the video you already cut.
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.

Before you upload
What people ask before they translate their first video.
Which Spanish do I get?
Spanish for Spain, Spanish for Latin America, or both in the same job; each is priced as its own language.
Can I get Spanish for Spain and for Latin America from one upload?
Yes. Pick both in the same job and Sonilo voices each one separately. They are priced as two languages, so a 60 second video costs twice what one version does.
Does the Latin American version use a Mexican or an Argentinian accent?
Sonilo offers one Latin American Spanish for the whole region, not a version per country. If a word or phrase should match one country, change it while you proofread.
Will the Spanish version be longer than my original?
No. The dub fits the length of your video. Because Spanish usually needs more syllables than English, a very dense line can sound quick; shortening it in the script while you proofread fixes that.
Can I translate my Spanish video into English as well?
Yes. Sonilo works in both directions: upload a video spoken in Spanish and pick English, or any of the other languages, as the target.
Can I put Spanish subtitles on the video?
Yes, when the dub comes back with its Spanish script: proofread it first, or upload your own .srt or .vtt. On a computer you can then style the subtitles and export a copy of the video with them burned in, set in Noto Sans unless you pick another font.
Which languages can I translate into Spanish from?
Any of the other 21 languages Sonilo works with. You do not pick the source: Sonilo detects the language spoken in your video when it transcribes it, then translates that transcript into Spanish.
Which languages can I translate into?
English, German, Spanish (Latin America), Spanish, Hindi, Indonesian, Arabic, French, Chinese (Mandarin), Japanese, Portuguese (Brazil), Portuguese, Vietnamese, Korean, Italian, Russian, Tamil, Turkish, Kannada, Thai, Gujarati, Malayalam, Punjabi (India), Sindhi (India). Pick any number in one job.
How long can my video be?
Up to 5 minutes and 400 MB, as .mp4, .mov or .m4v. For something longer, split it and translate the parts.
Can I edit the translation?
Yes. You read and correct the translated script before the video is rendered, so names and phrasing come out the way you want.
What does lip sync change?
With lip sync on, the speakers' mouths are rendered again to match the new language. With it off, your picture is left exactly as it was and only the voice changes, so mouths still move to the original language.
Does Sonilo keep the background music and sound effects?
Yes. Sonilo keeps your video's original background music and sound effects and replaces only the speech, so the translated version plays over the same soundtrack, with lip sync on or off.
Does Sonilo clone the speaker's voice?
Yes. Sonilo keeps the speaker's own voice in the new language: the translated speech sounds like the person in your video, not a stock voice, and when several people speak, each keeps their own. There is no voice to record or set up first.
I already have subtitles. Can I use them?
Yes. Upload an .srt or .vtt for a language and the dub says exactly those lines.
How does Sonilo compare with HeyGen, ElevenLabs and Rask?
Sonilo suits short creator clips that also need music or sound effects: 24 languages, videos up to 5 minutes, lip sync on Pro and Premium, plus one free trial on Free and Creator. HeyGen lists more languages, and ElevenLabs Dubbing is the cheapest way in. We make Sonilo, and our comparison of eight AI video translators, limits included, is at https://sonilo.com/compare/best-ai-video-translators.
Can I translate a video for free?
The free plan comes with 2,000 credits every two weeks, which covers about 40 seconds of video in one language. You can watch the result in the browser. Downloading it takes any paid plan.
