What Visual Translate Handles
Text That Will Be Translated
Visual Translate detects and translates explanatory on-screen text added to videos, which is intended to explain, guide, or annotate the video content. This includes:- Text on slides shown in videos
- Text overlays added during video editing (excluding brand logos)
Text That Will Not Be Translated
Text that is part of the original visual material of the video, and is not intended as explanatory content, is not supported. This includes:- UI elements, such as software interfaces, buttons, or menus
- Real-world text, such as packaging, signage, or text on physical objects
- Embedded subtitles (burned-in subtitles)
Embedded subtitles are typically tied to the original spoken audio and should be translated using the Translate Subtitles feature.Visual Translate focuses on translating explanatory on-screen text and does not process embedded subtitles at this time. Support for this scenario may be added in future updates.
Supported Text Styles and Animations
Visual Translate works best with text that has simple styling and animations. Well-supported- Plain text or text with basic styling (e.g. solid color text, simple outlines, drop shadows, or a basic background color)
- Static text or lightly animated text (e.g. fade in/out, simple slide in/out)
- Text with heavy visual effects or special styling (e.g. glow effects, 3D text, distorted text, or text with varying colors or sizes for emphasis).
In these cases, Visual Translate may not fully reproduce the original styling and will simplify the text to a more basic appearance. - Text with complex animations (e.g. continuously moving, rotating, or transforming).
While the system attempts to match the original placement and timing, complex motion may result in incomplete removal of the original text or visual misalignment.
