How to Translate a Facebook Video

Translating spoken audio from Facebook videos into English or foreign language subtitles requires three simple steps:

  1. Copy the Public Video Link: Open the video or Reel on Facebook, tap Share, and select Copy link.
  2. Select Your Target Language: Choose English (default) or any of the 100 supported global languages powered by Meta M2M100.
  3. Generate & Export: Within seconds, download synchronized SubRip (.srt) or WebVTT (.vtt) subtitle tracks, or export bilingual side-by-side subtitles for editing.

Differences: Translation vs Subtitling vs Dubbing

Our tool generates translated subtitles and text transcripts. It does not replace the speaker's vocal track with synthetic AI dubbing, ensuring you retain full original voice tone, acoustic ambiance, and emotional authenticity while providing multilingual accessibility.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I translate a Facebook video?+

We recommend uploading your Facebook video file directly for the most reliable results. You can also copy a public video's link, paste it here, pick a target language and press Translate. If the video link cannot be accessed due to platform login barriers, simply switch to the File Upload tab. Sign in to start your translation, and you can copy the text or download timed subtitles.

Can I translate a Facebook video into English?+

Yes. English is the default target language. The speech is transcribed first, then translated, so it works even when the video has no captions.

Which languages can I translate into?+

You can translate speech into 100 languages via Meta M2M100, including English, Spanish, French, German, Chinese, Japanese, Portuguese, Italian, Arabic, Russian, Korean, and Hindi. Accuracy depends on audio quality and the language pair, so check names and numbers before you publish.

Does it work on Facebook Reels?+

Yes. We recommend uploading saved Reel video files directly. You can also paste a public Reel link (the kind with /reel/ in it) or an fb.watch short link to attempt recognition.

Can I translate private or group videos?+

No. We only read videos that play without logging in, and we never use your Facebook login. If the video is yours, download it from your account and upload the file.

Can I get translated subtitles for my own video?+

Yes. Download the translation as SRT or VTT with a timestamp on every line, then upload it to Facebook or your video editor.

Do you dub the video or change the voice?+

No. You get translated text and subtitle files, not a new audio track.

Do you store the video?+

Audio is used only to create your transcript and translation in transient volatile memory and is deleted immediately after processing. We do not store, archive, or monetize your video files.
