Subtitles for English
English subtitles on this pair translate German speech into Latin script and burn it into the picture. Choose English only for an export buyer, or bilingual German plus English when the plant still wants the engineer's original sentence. Position, color, size, and background are set on the preview. The English line is locked to the German speech timeline.
Dubbing in English
An English voice can follow once the English translation of the German speech is ready. It is timed to the German narration, which suits a factory tour or a lecture intro. Basic dubbing on the full video is free. Technical buyers often prefer the German audio plus English captions.
