The inclusion of a Transcript Translation Feature in Adobe Premiere would greatly enhance the usability and accessibility of the software. This feature would allow users to easily translate video transcripts into different languages directly within the Adobe Premiere interface.

 

With the Transcript Translation Feature, users would have the ability to import video transcripts and seamlessly translate them into multiple languages. This functionality would not only save time and effort but also enable content creators to reach a broader audience by providing translated subtitles or captions.

 

The feature could offer a range of translation options, including automatic machine translation as well as the ability to manually edit and refine translations for accuracy. Users would have the flexibility to choose from a variety of supported languages, ensuring that their content can be effectively translated and understood by viewers worldwide.

 

Having the Transcript Translation Feature integrated into Adobe Premiere would streamline the localization process, making it easier for video editors and content creators to produce multilingual videos. This would be especially beneficial for international collaborations, global marketing campaigns, and educational content that aims to reach a diverse audience.

 

By empowering users to translate transcripts within Adobe Premiere, this feature would simplify the workflow, save time, and enable more efficient video localization. It would be a valuable addition for professionals working with multilingual content, fostering better communication and expanding the reach of their videos to a global scale.

The automatic captioning/subtitling in premiere is awesome. However, I'm wondering if there is any way to auto translate the subtitles/captions and apply them to the time code? I'm creating some videos where I need to have subtitles in several languages. Right now, I do auto translate using another service - but it would be so much simpler if I could just do it all in Premiere Pro!

Premiere Pro's transcription feature currently returns the spoken language used in the vocals.  Translation of the transcripbed spoken word is a good feature request.

 

A big issue for translated transcriptions though is context.  During my years at Technicolor, the translation for home video would happen to the transcript in its native language and then get checked during the quality control pass while the movie is playing by someone who speaks the language natively for use in context.  The corrections were usually minor, but frequent.  

 

Rev Speech-to-Text Services | Convert Audio & Video to Text offers foreign subtitles at an affordable rate.

Thanks!  Yes - We actually use maestra to translate and get the translated srt file. We find that if we make sure and clean up the orignial audio subtitles, then the translation is much cleaner. Still not perfect, but pretty good so that a person listening can understand what's being said.
