Translate German Video to Japanese
German industrial, automotive, and SaaS teams selling into Japan need onboarding and technical training that sounds native, not subtitled. Upload up to 1 minute of German footage and get a Japanese version back: Japanese AI voiceover, captions in kanji, hiragana, and katakana, and Japanese on-screen text, with lip sync and the keigo level you confirm before export.

A real Japanese version, not German with Japanese subtitles
Subtitling a German video leaves your Japanese audience reading captions while the German audio keeps playing underneath. ngram builds an actual Japanese version: the German speech is transcribed and translated, a Japanese AI voice re-narrates it on the original timing, the captions are rebuilt in Japanese, and any German titles or lower thirds on screen are re-set in Japanese. Japanese writing mixes kanji, hiragana, and katakana, so the caption lines are kept short and never broken mid-word to stay readable on screen.
It carries the register across, not just the words. A formal German Sie script becomes proper Japanese keigo for a B2B, industrial, or automotive audience that expects polished localization. The long compound technical vocabulary that DACH engineering and product teams rely on transcribes accurately and comes out as natural Japanese technical wording rather than a literal gloss.
Japanese AI voiceover
The narration is re-voiced in natural Japanese with keigo-appropriate business delivery, timed to the German original.
Japanese captions
Captions are translated into Japanese and re-timed, with short lines that never break mid-word across kanji, hiragana, and katakana.
On-screen text
German titles, callouts, and lower thirds come out in Japanese, not left in the source language.
AI lip sync
Mouth movement adjusts to the Japanese voiceover so a talking-head cut still reads as native.
Why German teams translate video into Japanese
Japan rewards polished localization, and German industrial and SaaS exporters reach it with Japanese versions of what they already film.
Reach a market that expects Japanese content
Japan is the world's third-largest advertising market and strongly prefers Japanese-language content. A German product demo or brand film becomes usable across Japan once it speaks Japanese, instead of asking viewers to follow German audio under captions.
Meet the onboarding bar Japanese buyers set
Japanese buyers expect localized onboarding and support video, and German-only or English-only material stalls adoption. A Japanese cut of your onboarding and support flows meets that expectation from the first watch.
Put your DACH training library to work in Japan
German companies produce extensive compliance and industrial training video, and subsidiaries, distributors, and partners in Japan need it in Japanese. One German recording becomes the Japanese version your teams on the ground can actually use.
