Customize translation projects

Use the customization stage to turn the initial project into the delivery you want. Some choices are made before the first translation run, and others are refined while you review the project page.

​
What changes before and after translation

StageWhat you usually decide there
Before translationTranscript quality, voice strategy, background audio, subtitles, lip-sync plan, glossary context, and publishing setup
After translationSegment review, SmartSync output quality, manual keeps or regenerations, exports, and publishing
1

Check the transcript and speakers

Confirm that the transcription is usable before you generate the translated output. If the source structure is wrong, later steps are harder to correct cleanly.
2

Open dubbing settings right after project creation

This is usually the best next step after project creation. Set the background audio behavior, subtitle behavior, voice isolation method, voice mode, and translation instructions before you commit to a full translated run.
3

Choose and preview voices

Match the delivery to your goal. Voice cloning keeps the original identity closer, while voice library and custom voice flows give you more control over consistency and reuse. Use available voice previews to compare options before you commit to a final run.
4

Set output options

Decide on subtitles, background audio handling, Smart Publish, dynamic subtitles, and any lip sync work before you finalize the run.
5

Launch and review the translation run

Once the settings are in place, VoiceCheap generates the translated text, dubbed audio, and related assets for review. SmartSync is part of this output, so you review its result instead of treating it as a separate export step.
6

Export or publish

When the translated output sounds right, download the files you need or publish the result through a connected channel.

​
Important distinctions

  • Brand vocabulary helps source transcription. Glossary rules help preserve translation wording across projects.
  • SmartSync is part of the translated output. You review or adjust that result after generation.
  • Lip sync is optional and usually makes the most sense only after the voice and timing already sound natural.
  • Team guests can collaborate inside projects, but some team-level settings, such as glossary management or billing, stay owner-controlled.

​
What you can export after review

  • Original imported video when a downloadable source file is available
  • Translated video
  • Dubbed audio
  • Original or translated SRT files
  • JSON exports
  • Hosted output links
  • Lip sync output when generated
  • Dynamic subtitles output when generated
  • Publication to connected channels when Smart Publish is configured
