Adding captions in multiple languages makes your videos more accessible to a global audience. MediaZilla allows you to generate captions in the original language, then translate them into additional languages for viewers to select.
1. Generate and Download Captions
First, generate captions in the original spoken language of your video.

Once generated, open the Captions tab in your video settings and click the three dots next to the caption language. Select Download to save the file (in VTT format) to your computer.
2. Translate Captions Into Other Languages
Use a translation tool, such as ChatGPT, to convert the captions into your desired language(s).
Upload the downloaded captions file.
Prompt the tool to translate the text into your chosen language(s).
Save the translated captions file.
Tip: If you’re using ChatGPT, ask it to keep the formatting intact (VTT file format).
3. Upload the Translated Captions to MediaZilla
Return to the Captions tab in your video settings and click Upload.
Select the correct language from the dropdown.
Choose the translated captions file from your computer.
Repeat this process for each language you want to add.
