Making video translation from Arabic to English simpler with AI
Upload, and the Arabic speech, whether Modern Standard, Egyptian, Gulf, or Levantine, becomes an editable transcript. Sentence-level translation carries meaning and idiom into natural English instead of word-for-word text, and Proofread shows every English line before rendering. A Brand Voice keeps names and technical terms untranslated exactly where you want them.
Advanced English Voice-overs and Subtitle Controls
Choose a neutral American English voice, or use voice cloning so that the speaker presents in English with their own accent preserved.
English phrasing is usually more concise than the original Arabic, and Dynamic Duration automatically retimes the video so that the pacing feels natural. Captions are delivered as editable English lines, giving you control right down to each character.
A Versatile Tool for Arabic to English Video Translation
One upload returns a lip-synced English dub, SRT or VTT files, and an editable transcript from the video translator, and the YouTube video translator accepts a pasted link instead of a file.
Creators get English captions that make videos searchable across the globe, and teams receive files that their LMS can ingest directly.
Who Needs to Translate Arabic Videos into English
Creators across the Middle East and North Africa use English versions to unlock global YouTube discoverability and monetisation. Startups from Dubai, Riyadh, and Cairo translate pitches and product demos for international investors, and localisation teams turn one Arabic training library into English and beyond without briefing an agency for each language.

Frequently Asked Questions
How can I translate a video from Arabic to English?
Upload the file or paste a YouTube link, confirm the Arabic transcript, choose English, and export a dub, subtitles, or both. A 90-second clip renders in about two minutes, and the free plan covers three videos per month.
Can the English version retain the original speaker's voice?
Yes, and even their accent: English output supports either a standard American voice or the speaker's own accent via voice cloning. Choose Audio Dubbing (soundtrack only, unlimited on paid plans) or Video Dubbing (adds lip sync), depending on whether the speaker is on camera.
Does it support Egyptian, Gulf, or Levantine Arabic?
Yes. Modern Standard Arabic and commonly used dialects, including Egyptian, Gulf, and Levantine, are supported as input, and the editable transcript allows you to correct any dialect-heavy phrase before translation. Setting the speaker count in the Advanced tab improves recognition for conversations.
How accurate is the lip sync when converting Arabic to English?
Choose the mode for your footage: Speed Mode for front-facing single speakers, Precision Mode for side profiles, occlusions, or multi-speaker scenes. English is usually shorter than the Arabic source, and Dynamic Duration retimes the video so that the sync and pacing stay consistent.
Can I export English subtitles as SRT or VTT files?
Yes. Burn English captions into the video or export SRT and VTT files with the subtitle generator for YouTube and LMS platforms. English captions also make Arabic-source videos indexable by global search, which is where the discoverability benefit comes from.
How accurate is the Arabic to English translation?
Sentence-level and context-aware, so you only need to edit exceptions instead of the entire script. A Brand Voice locks in names and terms you never want translated, Proofread (Pro and above) shows every English line before rendering, and clear single-speaker audio is the biggest driver of accuracy.
How much does it cost to translate an Arabic video into English?
Free includes three videos a month at 720p; Creator at $24 per month (billed annually) unlocks unlimited 1080p videos and voice cloning, with the latest tiers listed on the pricing page. The World Economic Forum used the same engine to translate a head-of-state speech into English almost in real time.
Can I translate the same Arabic video into other languages as well?
Yes. The same upload renders in any of 175+ languages without starting over, and teams localising in both directions run the English to Arabic video translator from the same workspace.

The same upload renders content in over 175 languages without needing to start again, in either direction.
