Adding automatic Arabic translation to Shorts
A guide to improving the clarity of Arabic translation and its sync inside short videos.
Why do the titles matter?
A large number of users watch the short video without sound at times, so the titles help keep the idea understandable even without listening. If the goal is to translate the video into Arabic and then cut the moments, start with the translation path after the text is clear.
Sync matters more than a lot of text
A good title appears with the matching word or sentence and disappears at the right time. Showing a long text all at once makes reading harder and reduces the clarity of the clip.
Clarity of the Arabic
It is better to use natural, clear Arabic wording, with a suitable font size and a safe area away from the platform interface elements.
The final review
Review the words, the names, the numbers, and the timing before publishing, especially when the speech is fast or the recording quality is low.
Reviewing the Arabic captions
- Review the names, numbers, and terms that the transcription can easily write incorrectly.
- Keep the text short enough to read while following the picture.
- Leave the text inside the safe area, away from the platform interface elements.
