Translate videos from
English to Dutch
Translate and dub English videos into natural Dutch
Reaching viewers in the Netherlands and Belgium used to mean booking voice actors, recording in a studio and editing every take. HeyGen Video Translation does that work for you: it transcribes your English audio, translates it into Dutch and generates a new Dutch voice track. HeyGen's language list includes Dutch as spoken in the Netherlands and in Belgium, for both audio-only and lip-synced translation.
Working the other way? Use the Dutch to English video translator, or start from Spanish with the Spanish to Dutch translator.
Keep your own voice, with lip sync
Your Dutch version should still sound like you. HeyGen re-voices the translation in the speaker's own voice, so viewers hear the same person, not a stock narrator. Choose Speed mode for front-facing speakers, or Precision mode for side angles, partly covered faces and videos with several speakers; both sync the speaker's lips to the Dutch audio. If you only need a Dutch voiceover, choose Audio-only mode instead.
Subtitles, proofreading and brand glossary
Add Dutch subtitles for viewers who watch with the sound off. The brand glossary lets you force specific translations, protect terms that should stay in English, such as product and company names, and set the correct pronunciation. On the Pro plan and above, you can open Edit & Review to proofread the translated script and correct any wording before you finalize the video.
Who translates English videos into Dutch
Marketing teams localize product demos, ads and launch videos for Dutch and Flemish audiences. HR and L&D teams translate onboarding and training videos for colleagues in the Netherlands and Belgium. Creators publish Dutch versions of their YouTube videos to reach new viewers. And because you can choose up to 10 target languages in one run, a team can produce the Dutch version alongside French, German and other versions of the same video.
How to translate a video from English to Dutch
You can turn an English video into a Dutch one in four steps.
Upload your English video
Upload a video from your device or paste a YouTube or Google Drive link. Clear speech with little background noise makes the source audio easier to transcribe.

Generate the translation
HeyGen transcribes the English audio, translates the script into Dutch and creates a Dutch voice track in the speaker's own voice. In Speed and Precision mode, the mouth movements are matched to the new audio.
Review and export
Check the Dutch version. On the Pro plan and above, open Edit & Review to proofread the Dutch script and change any wording before you finalize. Then export and publish.
