Translate any video to 30+ languages with latest AI
Desktop app for AI-powered video translation. Download videos from YouTube, transcribe with Whisper, translate to 30+ languages using GPT + Claude for quality review, and dub with AI voices. Free subtitle editing included. Open source & privacy-focused.
I built Translator because I was frustrated with existing video translation tools. They were either: - Expensive subscription services ($30+/month) - Cloud-based (I didn't want to upload my videos to random servers) - Produced robotic, awkward translations
So I built what I actually wanted to use.
The thing I'm most proud of is the two-pass translation system. Instead of just running text through one AI model, we use GPT-5.1 for the initial translation, then Claude Opus 4.5 reviews it for quality - catching idioms, cultural nuances, and awkward phrasing. It's a translator AND an editor.
Free forever: - Video downloading - Subtitle editing & merging
Actually affordable - No subscriptions. Pay-as-you-go: - $1 = ~50 min of video - $5 = ~8 hours - $10 = ~18 hours - $50 = ~127 hours Or unlock BYO API keys for $10 one-time and pay direct API costs forever. Cloud tools charge $30+/month whether you use them or not.
The whole thing is open source, so you can see exactly how it works (or contribute!).
I'd love your feedback - what languages matter most to you? What features would make this more useful?
Thanks for checking it out!
