Translate an English video to French

When people use this pair
English product videos for a single French target used in France and elsewhere: VidDub does not split France French and Canadian French into two languages. After an English-spoken upload, pick French once.
English research talks and vendor trainings for Francophone teams who share one French burn. Choose French-only or bilingual English plus French. Do not set French as the source if the speaker is talking English.

Subtitles for French
French subtitles use Latin script. There is one French target; Canada is not a second language in the catalog. Burn French only or bilingual English plus French.

French dubbing starts only after the French translation finishes. Basic dubbing is free and is not charged extra. Premium dubbing is paid in the iOS and Android apps.
