You’ve created a great video and made sure it looks its best. You’ve even shared and promoted it across social media. But sometimes, the results may not meet your expectations in terms of views and engagement.
Your audience could be from anywhere in the world, and some viewers might find it hard to understand your speech or Language. If they can’t follow your audio, you risk losing their attention.
The solution? Publish one video and deliver it in multiple languages. By uploading language-specific versions of a video, your audience can seamlessly switch to their preferred languages while watching.
Adding alternate language tracks helps make your content accessible and engaging to a wider audience.
To manage or change language for your videos:
Log in to Hippo Video using your existing credentials.
Click on the Media Library icon from the left navigation bar > All Assets.
Open the video to which you want to add Languages.
Below the video preview, click the Video Settings tab > Languages option from the left panel. And click on Add Video
You can either import a video or choose one from your library, then select the video’s language from the dropdown menu.
You can find the list of available languages in the Audio Language dropdown.
Once you’ve selected your preferred language, click on save and Generate.
After generating, you’ll notice the Status is set to Draft. The Draft status means the language track has been created and saved but is not yet visible to viewers.
Note: You can enable it at any time.
Now, to enable the Language for your video, click on the toggle near the Draft. You’ll notice that the Status is changed to Published mode. The Published status indicates that the specific language will be available for the video when the user watches it.
To edit or delete a language:
Click the hamburger icon under the Action column and select the desired option (Edit or Delete).
To delete a language:
Select the checkbox of the respective language below the language column and click Delete at the top to delete the language.
When watching the video, viewers can select their preferred language from the Settings icon within the video player.
