When people use this pair
US and European brands localizing an English product film for shoppers in Japan put the file through English to Japanese before it goes on a Rakuten-style listing, Amazon.co.jp, or a YouTube pre-roll. The Japanese line is burned in, so the page plays without a separate caption file.
English software lessons and university office hours aimed at viewers in Japan keep the teacher's English and add Japanese, or bilingual English plus Japanese, for students who read Japanese faster than they parse live English.
Game and app studios with an English trailer cut a Japanese version for a Japanese store page. The same shots stay; the Japanese subtitle, and an optional Japanese voice, carry the feature list.
Subtitles for Japanese
Japanese subtitles here are a translation of English speech, written in Japanese script and burned into the picture. Use Japanese only for a domestic Japan placement, or bilingual English plus Japanese when the lesson should keep the teacher's original sentence visible. Adjust position, color, size, and background on the preview before you process. The Japanese line locks to the English speech timeline. The finished file plays on a product page, a course site, or YouTube.
Dubbing in Japanese
Japanese dubbing is a later step, available once the Japanese translation is finished. Choose a Japanese voice and it is timed to the original English speech. Basic dubbing on the full video is free. Skip the voice when the burned-in Japanese is what the store page or the classroom needs.
Can I translate an English video to Japanese for free?
Yes. After sign-in you can preview the Japanese result on your own English file. The finished download starts at $3.90 pay as you go, which covers a listing video or a lesson cut.
How do I prepare an English demo for a Japanese product page?
Upload the English demo, choose English as the spoken language and Japanese as the target. The returned file carries Japanese subtitles in the picture for Rakuten-style pages, Amazon.co.jp, or YouTube.
Can learners in Japan see the English sentence and the Japanese line together?
Yes. Bilingual English plus Japanese keeps the teacher's sentence on screen with the Japanese translation under it.
When can I add a Japanese voice to an English trailer?
The Japanese voice starts after the Japanese translation is ready. It follows the English speech, and basic dubbing on the full video is free.
