Bilingual subtitles
AI can write down what you say in a video and translate it, so the same clip reaches Vietnamese and foreign viewers.
Many people watch videos with the sound off, and tourists or expats may not follow fast Vietnamese. Subtitles in Vietnamese and English widen your audience with the same footage.
Most video editing apps can now create subtitles automatically by listening to your voice. They make mistakes with dishes, place names, dialects and background noise, so read every line before you publish.
For the English line, paste your corrected Vietnamese subtitles into a chatbot and ask for a natural translation that keeps each line short. Tell it what your shop sells so it uses the right words, and keep names of dishes like phở or bánh xèo as they are.
If you can, ask a friend who speaks the language to watch it once. Small errors in a price, an address or an opening time cause real problems, so check those first.
