Overview
Working in a multi-lingual organization? Make your content more inclusive by creating videos that your coworkers can easily view and understand in their primary language. Transcript translations give you the option to translate the transcript and closed captions of videos into over 100 supported languages. Once translated, viewers can choose the translated transcript and captions while watching the video.
Stream for SharePoint has partnered with Microsoft Syntex to provide a robust and affordable pay-as-you-go solution for your transcript translation needs.

How to translate transcripts in Stream for SharePoint
Video owners can translate an existing transcript in over 100 different languages, and make them readily available, as transcripts and closed captions, for all video viewers.
To translate a transcript, select Video settings in the upper right of the web player. Expand the Transcripts and captions section if closed, then select Translate.
Note: Your video must contain at least one transcript for the Translate button to appear. Please refer to How to manage captions and transcripts for your videos for information on how to generate or upload a transcript file.
In the Translate dialog select the transcript you want to translate in the From language dropdown
Tip: If there is only one transcript in your video, no other options will be available in the From language dropdown.
And the language in which the transcript will be translated in the Translate to dropdown.
Select Translate.
Depending on the video length, translating the transcript can take a few minutes.
The newly translated transcript will be listed in the Transcripts and captions section with the same available functionality of every transcript like: downloading, deleting, replacing, searching, and editing (refer to the How to Manage Captions and Transcripts for Your Video article for more information on transcript capabilities).
At his time, the newly translated transcript will be available for all video viewers as closed captions, or in the transcript pane.
Important: Every time a transcript has been successfully translated, you will be charged based on the number of characters translated from the source transcript at the current rate for this Microsoft Syntex meter. There are no charges for viewing a translated transcript.
