Translate Video to Vietnamese

What to expect when translating into Vietnamese

Vietnamese uses the Latin alphabet with many diacritics marking six tones, and most words are single syllables separated by spaces. Pronouns depend on relative age and status (anh, chị, em), which the translation has to guess.

The Vietnamese voice track

The Vietnamese voice uses a standard accent. The age-based pronouns in the translation may need adjusting so the voice addresses viewers the way you intend.

Voice, MP4, subtitles and transcripts: 500 credits (50¢). Subtitles and transcripts only: 10 credits (1¢).

Vietnamese subtitles

Vietnamese subtitles rely on stacked diacritics; every modern font and player displays them correctly.

Vietnamese (Tiếng Việt) is written in the Latin alphabet with tone marks.

Switch Full translation output off for subtitles only: 15 credits (1.5¢). If the video is already in Vietnamese, select Vietnamese as the language instead and the subtitles come back untranslated — see Vietnamese transcription.

Translating audio files into Vietnamese

Podcasts and recordings go through the audio translator, which returns a Vietnamese M4A and transcripts: 1,250 credits ($1.25) with voice, 25 credits (2.5¢) as text only.

Who translates into Vietnamese

Vietnamese is spoken in Vietnam and Vietnamese communities in the US, Australia and Europe. It's used by manufacturers with plants in Vietnam, edtech companies, and Vietnamese diaspora media.

Choosing pronouns is part of the translation

Vietnamese has no neutral "you" or "I". Each pronoun states a relationship of age, status and closeness, and the right choice depends on who speaks to whom.

Friendly, peer-to-peer "you"

bạn, common in online and app content

Customers or an audience, formal

quý khách, quý vị

Adult colleagues in workplace training

anh chị

A teacher speaking to students

các em

"We" including the viewer

chúng ta

"We" meaning the company only

chúng tôi

Decide the relationship before translating, then search the translated transcript for each pronoun and make it consistent. Mixing bạn and quý khách in one video sounds as if the speaker keeps changing who they are talking to. The distinction between chúng ta and chúng tôi matters in sales and support videos: "we offer" from a company is chúng tôi, while "let's get started" is chúng ta.

Tone marks, Unicode and fonts

Vietnamese tone marks can be stored in two ways: as single precomposed characters, or as a base letter followed by combining marks. Text copied between tools can end up mixed, which makes search fail for words you can see on screen and can make marks sit slightly off in some fonts. If you edit the SRT and the marks look detached, convert the file to the precomposed form (Unicode NFC) in your text editor.

There are also two conventions for placing the mark on some vowel pairs: hoà or hòa, thuý or thúy. Both are in use. Pick one for your subtitles, captions and website so viewers don't see both styles side by side. Subtitle formatting conventions covers other house-style decisions.

Previewing the Vietnamese dub

Dub mode works for Vietnamese the same way as for other languages: the translation is spoken by one of 8 stock voices and merged with your picture, without lip-sync. Because tone carries meaning, a single wrong tone turns one word into another: ma, má, mà, mả, mã and mạ are six different words. Before you publish, play the preview at 0.75× through product names, figures, safety instructions and any sentence where a misheard word would cause harm.

Northern and southern Vietnamese differ in pronunciation and some vocabulary; for example, the initial letters d, gi and r sound alike in Hanoi speech but are distinguished in the south. Listen to which pronunciation the voice leans toward and judge whether it suits your viewers. If you are unsure about a dub, publish Vietnamese subtitles and test with a few viewers first; the AI dubbing quality checklist gives a structured way to review.

Vietnamese television has long used thuyết minh, where one narrator reads every character's lines over the original. A single voice for all speakers is therefore a familiar format. The difference is that mydubly's translated video removes the original voices instead of playing them underneath; only the original music and effects stay under the Vietnamese voice.

Vietnamese groups large numbers by thousand, million and billion, as English does, so values are rarely regrouped wrongly; the separators are what flip. Check that every comma and full stop in figures follows Vietnamese style.

What to review before release

1. Pronouns consistent with the relationship you chose.
2. Subtitle file in one Unicode form, with one tone-mark placement style.
3. Separators in figures, currency written as đồng or VND.
4. Dub preview checked slowly for tone-dependent words and names.
5. Regional pronunciation judged against your audience.
6. A decision recorded on dub, subtitles or both for this audience.

For factory and HR content, the training video translation page describes the full workflow, and adding subtitles to a video explains how to attach the SRT on common platforms.

Using the tool on this page

• The spoken language is detected automatically; you select the output language — the spoken language itself for an untranslated transcript, or another language for a translation. Files can be up to 2 hours long.
• Only the audio is sent for processing — the video stays on your device — and audio and text are deleted within 30 minutes of delivery (how files are protected).
• You can download a translated video that keeps your music and effects, the translated audio as M4A, a transcript and subtitles (SRT and VTT). Every output, step and limit is explained on the video translator page.
