Making content appealing to people in foreign markets is now no longer an option in today's digital global platform. Translation and production in multiple languages manually can consume much time and money, which can be avoided in the following discussion.
In this in-depth tutorial, we will guide you step-by-step through the creation of a fully automated system that can translate your videos into multiple languages, including synchronized captions and translated audio. The best part? It requires zero human intervention after setup.
The Technical Stack: What You'll Need
Before we start with the implementation, let's gather our tools:
Make.com (formerly Integromat) account
Google Cloud account (for Translation API)
ElevenLabs account for voice synthesis
ChatGPT API access
Google Drive storage
Json.video account
Pro Tip: What is important to note about each of the individual service costs is that the automation process will save thousands of hours of manual translation and voice-over time.
Foundation Setup: Preconfiguration
Step 1: Google Drive Configuration
Make a new folder and call it "multilingual_clips."
Upload your original video
Share settings on this folder to "Anyone with the link can download."
Copy the file ID from the sharing URL, which you will need for one of the next steps
Step 2: Google Cloud API Setup
Create a new project in Google Cloud Console
Enable the Cloud Translation API
Generate an API key
Enable billing (required for API usage)
Building the Automation Workflow
Let's break down the automation into manageable sections:
1. Video Processing Pipeline
Source Video → Audio Extraction→ Transcription→ Translation→ Voice Synthesis → Final Render
2. Key Automation Steps
File Download Module
Use HTTP get request
Configure download from Google Drive
Store file for processing
Audio Conversion
Utilize Cloud Convert
Convert video to MP3
Optimize for processing
Translation Loop
Configure language iterator
Set up translation API calls
Handle response parsing
Advanced Features and Optimization
Voice Synthesis with ElevenLabs
One of the most powerful aspects of this automation is the ability to maintain your voice across multiple languages. Here's how to set it up:
Create a voice clone in ElevenLabs
Select the multilingual V2 model
Configure voice settings in Make.com
Handling Video Rendering
The Json.video takes care of the heavy lifting: combing translated audio with your original video:
Configure API authentication
Set up video rendering parameters
Handle webhook responses
Process final video download
Best Practices and Tips
To ensure the best results with your automation:
Video Preparation
Keep source videos under 10 minutes
Use clear speech for better transcription
Avoid background music when possible
Translation Optimization
Test with shorter videos first
Verify language codes are correct
Monitor API usage and costs
Quality Control
Set up error notifications
Implement retry logic
Monitor storage usage
Scaling Your Multilingual Content
This automation could be a game-changer for your content strategy. Here's how to max it out:
Content Planning
Create a content calendar
Identify target languages
Plan storage requirements
Resource Management
Monitor API usage
Track costs per video
Optimize processing times
Implementation Costs and ROI
While implementing this automation requires several paid services, let's break down the potential return on investment:
Typical Manual Costs (Per Video):
Professional Translation: $100-200 per language
Voice-Over: $200-500 per language
Video Editing: $100-300 per language
Automated Solution Costs:
Make.com: Starting at $20/month
Google Cloud API: ~$20 per 1M characters
ElevenLabs: Starting at $5/month
Json.video: Pay per usage
Troubleshooting Common Issues
File Processing Errors
