What is short drama translation?
Short drama translation turns an episode’s dialogue into another language. UnmarkAI generates dubbing and subtitles; you review names, relationships and wording so the story remains clear.

What needs a human check?
Check recurring names, forms of address, jokes and lines spoken over one another. Keep a reference list outside the tool and compare each episode against it. Manual text review requires an eligible plan.
Subtitles
From the original episode to a translated version
This illustration shows the production stages. Use the workbench for translation and dubbing, and keep your own reference notes for names and recurring dialogue.
Subtitles
Make room for the translated subtitles
If the original captions are embedded in the picture, they can overlap the translation. Eligible plans can clean the old captions first. Check the result on moving and detailed backgrounds.

Before publishing
Check the episode from beginning to end
Read the subtitles while listening to the dubbed episode. Check that names, dialogue and pauses make sense together. AI dubbing may need further editing for scenes that depend on a precise performance.
Names and relationships
Compare names and forms of address with your reference list across episodes. Use the same reference list when reviewing later episodes.
Dialogue and emotion
Check jokes, short replies and emotional lines with a speaker of the target language.
Scene and subtitle timing
Watch cuts and pauses. Shorten crowded captions in your editor and keep them clear of faces and player controls.
Sound and files
Check speaker changes, background audio and caption cleanup. Name downloaded files by episode and language before publishing.

FAQ
Short drama translation questions
Can I translate a short drama for free?
New accounts receive 10 free points. The free plan processes the first 30 seconds of a video. Check the point estimate before starting, especially if you add languages or extra options.
Can I create several language versions?
Yes. Select a target language and add more in the workbench. Each added language affects the estimated cost. Check each version separately before publishing.
How do I keep character names consistent?
Keep your own list of names and forms of address, then compare each episode against it. Eligible plans let you correct the transcript and translation during manual review. Keep this reference list yourself and use it during review.
Can I keep the original audio and only use translated subtitles?
You can download the translated SRT and use it with the original video in your editor or player. The video translation task itself generates dubbing as well as subtitles.
Can I remove old subtitles?
Eligible plans can clean captions embedded in the video picture before new subtitles are added. Check the cleaned area during movement and preserve required notices.
Does the tool include lip sync?
Lip sync is not currently available in the workbench. Check the dubbed dialogue against the scene, and use a separate editing step if matching mouth movements is essential.
How long does a translation take?
Processing time depends on video length, selected languages, options and service load. The task page shows progress. Start with a short sample to assess the result and allow time for review.
