Awesome video. Straight to the point and easy to understand. The translation trick is awesome because most of the tutorials only explain about captions/subtitles but not how to actual translate them! Good luck with your channel. The only bad news is that the page you are recommending no longer offer free translations. The translated word files are blocked from being edited or to select to copy and paste and if you try to just translate the text without uploading the file then they ask you to subscribe if your lines are more than 60.

[@justplainduane7145]

Thank you for kind words and also notifying me of the ch age on DeepL, I may have to look for a different solution and remake the video, it’s a bummer it’s out of my control if online companies change their policies, again thank you, appreciate the feedback!

[@NaturebyGus]

@@justplainduane7145 Thanks. I was doing a translation for my first real video (my trip to Ukraine during the war) and I had to subscribe to the free trial in order to translate the document but your video is still awesome!

[@SimplyEto]

What I did in order to make it work, was to convert the protected Word Document to a PDF, and open with Acrobat. This will make it possible for you to select everything and copy+paste.

[@davidkim8693]

Just in case you redo this video, it would be great to see how you can import an extra caption on the track. Although most people might think KZbin kind of does automatic translations, I read somewhere that KZbin can incorporate .srt files to help with search engine stuff so at least having it in two languages might be very useful. In my case, the videos I'm working on is in Korean, so translating it in English hopefully will help overall. What I have been able to figure out is to do the following steps (They are not perfect but hey) 1) Export your .srt file. 2) On Google search for ".srt translation". The first link should hopefully be Akbar on Development. This site is a little annoying because it has some annoyingly huge ad banners, but it does seem to do the translation pretty good. You can then upload your .srt file, choose the google translate language you want to translate to and then it does it. Seems like you have a nice interface to make some changes if you want to review it before downloading. 3) Then download the file, and drag that into your project media. 4) Create a new track (right click on the caption track). When you add a new track, it will hide the existing one. 5) Drag and Drop your new .srt onto the new caption timeline. Before doing this I recommend styling your first caption the way you like it and saving that style. This way you can just select the same style for the new caption and make minor tweaks you want.

[@medallionmotionpictures]

This really helped. Great teaching quick EZ & straight to the point. I had a multicam cut with captions. I found out that to add captions on a multi cut render out the portion of the sequence for the captions and bring it back and follow your step. Thanks for being Just Plain Duane . A creative from Atlanta GA USA

[@esagecantu]

Thank you. I am adding my short films to streaming services and I want to include captions from different languages. I am hoping that it would as easy as you say. Very informative.

[@officialgurutv]

Hello my pro22 recently just top transcribing even with my internet on..what will I do please. I need practical help 😫

[@etsi8207]

Your video is perfectly important.

[@Pipsvlog]

can I ask how to just delete the first version of the transcript (in premiere) so I don't have to start a new sequence to load a new transcription in with the translated language

[@DylanGravesYT]

what about if you have interviews in multiple languages ie asking questions in English and having the person you interview answer in Japanese?

[@HeroHiFi]

Thanks for the video. For English transcription to English subtitles Premiere does a very decent job. There are always a few mistakes here and there of course but they are easy to correct. However, if you try going the other way for example - like using the supported German transcription, exporting the .srt (in German) and then translating into English...it's pretty much a disaster. That's a real shame and I hope Adobe steps up and makes it much easier to really 'translate' your videos and choose an appropriate subtitle language.

[@rentarita]

12 months later is this feature up an running now??

[@sirnh]

Did you try just renaming the .SRT file to .TXT and upload that to DeepL for conversion? Saves the whole docx conversion steps.

[@lindaschlosser8890]

Hello, unfortunately I can paste the TXT file into Premiere after translating it but I can't drag it into the timeline. Do you have a tip?

[@mynameis_thabo]

Hi, do you need to be online to do this?

[@trilogychannel]

Thanks for this, Duane. Excellent. I think we have to be subscribers to DeepL in order to cut and paste their translations into our previous SRT file. Can you confirm that for me? Wonderful video.

[@justplainduane7145]

Hi Richard, I do have a paid subscription for DeepL do take advantage of a 1 shot copy and paste. I have also used the trial or free version of DeepL and copied and pasted in sections and create a full document, its extra work but if your video is not too long its not a deal breaker.

[@trilogychannel]

@@justplainduane7145 Yeah, that works! Great stuff. A few cuts and pastes more than a paid subscription garners, but effective. I'm in Brazil, and DeepL paid version is not available here yet. You just saved my butt, Duane. Thanks a ton!

[@Blackfilmguild]

Once you select a language how do you select a second langauge after? I want to transcribe in multiple languages all within premiere pro.

[@Super-music-s7d]

How we save the video?

[@AltaroRitmerZaxmer]

I usually use Immersive Translate to help me translate video captions in real time.

[@gringolatino]

That DeepL Translator just does not work and it wants you to pay soon enough. Also, the exported MS Word file from that website doesn't even let me edit, or copy the text. All that said, I found that simply using Google Translate and a simple text document works just fine rather than dealing with MS Word or SRT files (for KZbin purposes anyway). A lot simpler process, and it worked just fine to upload multiple language captions to KZbin.

[@CamiloMonsalve]

In Adobe Premiere 2024 you have to create the sequence in a specific language, therefore, the "Create Captions from transcript" window changed completely. Do you know how to change the language of a sequence once it has been created? For example, I created a sequence in English, and now I need to make a transcript in French. But when I try to create a new sequence within the English project I don't get the option to have the sequence in French or whatever language is available. Please help me.

[@rentarita]

Have you answered your question!? Need help here too!

Your video was straightforward, however, it didn't work. I'm using Premiere Pro 2024 version 24.1 and I want to translate an English closed captioning to Spanish. When I try to upload my text file, it does not automatically add it to the caption track. I followed your instructions to the letter, so any additional help would be great.

[@respiral]

Hi. Did you find how to do it?

[@cypherial]

I'm stuck at "initializing local transcription engine"

[@simonkallinfilms]

This works so good but when i try it the DeepL doesn't include all the numbers of the order the translation comes. The number above the timecode. Do you know how to fix this because in your video it's included?

[@justplainduane7145]

Are you saying it won’t give you the option to translate to all the languages? Could you post a screenshot of what you are seeing

[@simonkallinfilms]

@@justplainduane7145 it does give me option to translate to all the languages but the translated filed that i get afterward doesn't include all of the numbers of the order the cations should be. If you look in your video at 7:36, you will see that you have a number above each timecode that indicates the order the captions should be while imported. This is not included on every caption of the translated file. So i had to manually go in and put in numbers in about 300 rows which is really annoying. In your video at 9:11, your translated file got the numbers included above the timecode.

[@victorsanchez2613]

it happens the same to me. A solution please 🙏

[@justplainduane7145]

@@simonkallinfilms I had a look and did the same signed out of my account, without signing up for a formal trial or purchasing it will limit you to 5000 Characters like Google Translate does. I would say you have 3 options: 1) sign up for a trial use it and then cancel and resign up to avoid paying 2) pay or 3) you can use the translate text feature and translate 5000 titles at a time, paste your entire doc, find the cut off then paste and translate the untranslated content and repeat until you complete the document, this will be easier than manually for hundreds of rows. Unfortunately without signing up you are limited, I have a subscription with DeepL as I do with Adobe Premier Pro, that's what I can see that is limiting you from me, let me know if this is not the case and if you do have an account with DeepL I can take another look.
