Audio Translation

Translate audio files and recordings into different languages with XTranslator's AI-powered audio translation feature.

What is Audio Translation?​

Audio Translation allows you to:

  • Upload audio files and get them translated
  • Support for multiple audio formats
  • Preserve audio quality during translation
  • Get text transcripts in the target language

Supported Audio Formats​

XTranslator supports the following audio formats:

  • MP3 - Most common format
  • WAV - High quality audio
  • MP4 - Video with audio
  • M4A - Apple audio format
  • OGG - Open format
  • FLAC - Lossless audio

How It Works​

Step 1: Upload Your Audio File​

  1. Go to the Audio Translation section
  2. Click Upload Audio or drag and drop your file
  3. Select the source language (or use auto-detect)
  4. Choose your target language
  5. (Optional) Select a Domain (General, Legal, Medical, Politics, Financial, Education, Marketing, Tech)

Step 2: Process Translation​

XTranslator will:

  • Extract audio content
  • Transcribe speech to text
  • Translate the text to your target language
  • Provide the translated transcript

Step 3: Get Your Results​

You'll receive:

  • Translated text transcript
  • Original language detected (if auto-detect was used)
  • Word count and duration information

Domains​

Selecting a domain tailors terminology and tone for audio translations. The chosen domain is sent with the request and influences the translation output (e.g., Legal vs Medical).
