# How do I translate a project?

> Translate a tutorial into any of 70+ supported languages, then review, generate, and publish each language version from one place.

Section: Help Center › FAQ

Tutorial AI translates a finished project into any of the supported languages — voiceover, captions, and video timing all adapt automatically. Translations are created as drafts inside a Translation Folder, so you can review each language before generating and publishing the final video.

The full workflow:

1. **Start a translation** — from the project menu or the Videos dashboard.
2. **Choose languages** — pick one or more in one pass.
3. **Review the drafts** — translations land as drafts in a Translation Folder.
4. **Generate and publish each language** — via the Share menu.
5. **The Embed Player** automatically picks up every published language.

## Starting a translation

There are two places to start. Both open the same language picker.

**From inside the project editor** — open the project menu and choose **Translate**.

**From the Videos dashboard** — on the video you want to translate, open the **three-dot menu** and choose **Translate**.

## Choosing languages

Tick the languages you want, then click **Translate** to kick off all of them in one pass.

For the full list of available languages — 74 base languages plus regional variants, including 42 in our experimental tier — see **[What languages do you support?](https://www.tutorial.ai/en/articles/14353629-what-languages-do-you-support)**

## The translation folder

Tutorial AI groups the source and every translation into a Translation Folder, named after the source video.

⚠️ **Translations are saved as drafts.** The video isn't generated yet — you'll generate and publish each language version separately in the next step. This lets you review the translated script before committing to a final render.

See **[Organize videos with folders](https://www.tutorial.ai/en/articles/organize-videos-with-folders)** for how Translation Folders work in your library.

## Generating and publishing each language

1. Open a translated project from the Translation Folder.
2. Review the translated script — fix any names, terms, or phrasing as needed. For tricky pronunciations (brand names, acronyms), use the [Pronunciation Lexicon](https://www.tutorial.ai/en/articles/13618414-pronunciation-lexicon).
3. Open the **Share** menu and click **Generate** to produce the video for this language.
4. Wait for generation to complete.
5. **Publish** the language version. You can publish each one separately, or use **Republish all** to push every generated language live in one click.

## The Embed Player

Once you've published one or more languages, the Embed Player automatically shows a **Language Selector** for viewers — no embed-code change needed. Adding a new language later (re-translate, generate, publish) makes it appear in every existing embed.

🔗 **Need to share just one language, without the switcher?** Duplicate that translation and publish it as a standalone project — see **[How do I share a single language version?](https://www.tutorial.ai/en/articles/how-to-share-a-single-language-version)** Alternatively, if you only want to set the default language but keep the switcher, append `?lang=<code>` to your share or embed URL.

## How the player picks the language

If a viewer lands without a `?lang=` URL parameter, the player chooses a default in this order — first hit wins:

1. The viewer's **browser language** — exact match against your published translations, falling back to the base language (e.g. `en-GB` → `en`).
2. The video's **original language**, if you've published it.
3. **English**, if the original isn't published.

The viewer can switch languages at any time from the in-player selector.

## Tips

- **Finalize the source before translating.** Script edits made to the original after translation don't propagate to existing translations automatically.
- **Pick all the languages in one pass.** Each Translate run creates a separate copy — running it twice for the same language makes two drafts.
- **Review before publishing.** AI translation is strong, but proper nouns and product terms still benefit from a human pass.
