Subtitles in Another Language to Original?

Hi - a student today asked if I could activate the subtitles from my course (which is in English) to Spanish. As far as I was aware we have to acquire a translation and then upload (?), which I've never done before, but seeing as Spanish is the fourth most spoken language it might be worth doing.

Has anyone done this? I know that it could be done by an AI, but looking for the most user friendly (and cost effective) option - thought I'd ask before delving too deep.

I've looked into dubbing but for now that's a huge expense, as far as I can see, and with sales being quite low might not prove cost effective.

Or am I missing something and it's a lot easier than all this? I did lots of searches but couldn't find anything.

Tnx - Tim

Hi Tim. The student can add their own autotranslated subtitles. See

for details.

Hi @TimWilson, thank you for asking, and @PhillipBurton, thank you so much for your contribution on how to add the Spanish subtitles!

Just as an additional tip, you can also upload the caption files directly through the course’s “Captions” section. You can learn more about how to do this in this article.

Best regards,

Thanks so much @PhillipBurton - that's amazing. I had no idea you could do that.

Thanks for replying @Bessy - I've already seen that but it doesn't answer my question of getting the translation in the first place unless you meant to post another link?
