Is it a good fit for your task?
Choose it when…
Teacher-controlled media localization with a reviewer fluent in the target language.
Consider another approach when…
Publishing unreviewed translations of essential instructions or copying someone’s voice without consent.
A practical first workflow
Prepare a checked language version of your own short instructional video.
Have this ready
Have your own recording, its transcript, permitted speaker use and a fluent reviewer.
- Upload the authorized video to HeyGen Video Translation and confirm the source language.
- Choose one target language for the first test and select the available translation option.
- Generate the translation and captions if available for the chosen workflow.
- Review the full video with a fluent speaker, checking subject terms, numbers and pronunciation.
- Correct the output through available editing tools and update baked-in screen text separately before sharing a labeled translation.
You’ll have: A reviewed translated tutorial with checked captions and any screen-text corrections.
Try this example
Use this sample prompt or task input as a starting point. Adapt the subject and level to your learners.
Translation task: make a Spanish draft of my English video demonstrating how to label a bar chart. Check “horizontal axis,” “vertical axis,” every number and unit with a fluent reviewer. Retain the English original for comparison.
Check your result before sharing
HeyGen’s video translation does not automatically translate all text already visible in the video. Check meaning, synchronization and consent; identify the result as AI-assisted translation.
Obtain speaker permission, use qualified language review and check on-screen text separately from translated audio.
Other activities to explore
- Draft a second-language version of a teacher-owned tutorial.
- Review how translated speech, captions and unchanged screen text interact.

This workflow is an editorial suggestion based on documentation, not a hands-on test or a claim of learning gains. Check school approval, current pricing, and student account eligibility before a classroom rollout. Use public or permitted samples and keep identifiable student information out of unapproved services.
