Vietnamese video translator

Vietnamese

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

Proofread the Vietnamese script

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

Vietnamese subtitles in the picture

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

Tones and accents carry meaning

Vietnamese is tonal, and the accent marks on each word change its meaning entirely: ma, má, mà and mả are different words. While you proofread, read names and key terms slowly, because a missing or wrong mark in the script means a wrong word in the voice.

One Vietnamese, north or south

Northern Vietnamese, around Hanoi, and southern Vietnamese, around Ho Chi Minh City, differ in accent and in some words. Sonilo dubs one Vietnamese, understood everywhere. If your audience is clearly in one region, adjust the words they would use while you proofread.

Pronouns depend on who is talking

Vietnamese has no neutral you. Speakers choose words like anh, chị, em or bạn depending on age and relationship. Brands often address viewers as bạn, or as anh chị for a respectful tone. Check that the script picks one and sticks with it.

Keep loanwords where people use them

Technology and marketing terms are often kept in English in Vietnam, and brand names should never be translated. Make product and button names match your app, and decide which English terms your viewers expect before the script is voiced.

Online stores and live commerce

Sellers on Vietnamese marketplaces and social shops win with product videos in Vietnamese. Translate the demo, quote prices in dong where the offer applies, and download the cut for each channel.

Apps, games and fintech

Vietnam is a fast growing market for mobile apps and games. Tutorials, launch videos and update trailers in Vietnamese help new users get started, and the same upload can give you Thai and Indonesian.

Education and language learning

Course creators can reach Vietnamese students with lessons translated from English, checking every term while proofreading. Each lesson is its own job, so a course can be translated as it is recorded.

Diaspora content and entertainment

Series, short dramas and family friendly content reach Vietnamese speakers at home and abroad. Lip sync makes actors appear to speak Vietnamese; with it off, the original picture stays untouched.

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.
