A second-language version: dub the cut or perform it again
Three entries document reaching another language by dubbing: new speech over the same picture, with mouths re-synced. One documents the other route, a second project with the same cast whose dialogue is performed in the new language as each shot is generated. As of 2026-10-13.
| Model | Route to another language | Range stated |
|---|---|---|
| HeyGen | Video translation with voice cloning and lip-sync | Thirty or more languages |
| SceneMixer | A second project with the same cast, performed in the new language | Fifteen named, plus Cantonese for dialogue |
| sync-3 | Dubbing, matching mouths to the new audio | 95 or more languages |
| Synthesia | A dubbing project with locales added | A voice catalogue with language codes |
Inclusion rule. Entries whose documentation describes producing a version of a video in another language. Subtitling alone does not earn a row. Order. Alphabetical by model name.
1Dubbing keeps the performance and replaces the voice
The three dubbing routes start from a finished cut. The pacing, framing and acting stay as approved; speech in the new language is laid over and the mouths are redrawn to it. That is fast and keeps every language version visually identical, and it inherits the original timing, so a language that runs longer than the source has to be compressed to fit.
2Performing again keeps the cast and replaces the performance
The fourth route treats the new language as a new production of the same story. The dialogue language is fixed when the script is read, so a second version is a second project; each character is brought across so the faces match, and the scenes are generated again with the dialogue performed in the new language.
The result is lip movement made for the words rather than adjusted to them, and a second set of clips to review. Its guide also notes that a voice chosen for one language can be swapped for another from the library if it does not suit the new one.
3Subtitles are the third route
One entry's guide names subtitles over the existing episodes as the cheaper option when viewers only need to follow the story. None of the dubbing entries discusses that alternative, which is unsurprising and worth remembering when pricing a first release into a market whose response is unknown.
