Create a Subtitle File: Start by creating a <a href="https://help.transifex.com/en/articles/6221673-subtitles-localization">file</a> that contains the subtitles for your video.

Upload to Transifex: <a href="" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Upload</a> this subtitle file as a new resource under a file-based project in Transifex.

Translate into Multiple Languages: Once the subtitles are uploaded, have them translated into your desired languages.

Export Translated Subtitles: After the translation is complete, <a href="https://help.transifex.com/en/articles/6318828-downloading-translations">export</a> the translated subtitles to create separate video versions—one for each language (e.g., Russian, Spanish, Portuguese).

To ensure the correct version of the video is displayed based on your website visitor's language, you need to translate the video URLs using Transifex Live.

Identify the Original Video URL: Let's say we have an example video with the URL: <code>https://example.com/video</code>.

Create Language-Specific URLs: Once you’ve completed the subtitle translations, you can create a unique URL for each video version. For example:

- For Spanish: <code>https://example.com/es/video</code>
- For Portuguese: <code>https://example.com/pt/video</code>

Replace the Video URL Based on Language: If a Spanish-speaking user visits the Spanish version of your website, Transifex Live will swap the default video URL (<code>https://example.com/video</code>) with the Spanish one (<code>https://example.com/es/video</code>), ensuring the right subtitles are displayed.

To enable URL localization with Transifex Live, include the tx-content="translate_urls"  attribute in your website's code to allow the URLs to be replaced automatically.

&lt;video tx-content="translate_urls" controls&gt; &lt;source src="https://example.com/video" type="video/mp4"&gt; &lt;/video&gt;
