FAQ
Translating captions on iPhone, answered.
How do I translate captions on iPhone?
Open the video in Clipped, go to a clip, open the Captions tool and tap Translate captions. Pick a language and the captions switch in the preview and in every export.
Does the translation upload my video?
No. Translate captions uses Apple Translation on your iPhone. The video never leaves the phone.
Do I need internet to translate?
Only once per language. The first time you pick a new language, iOS downloads a language pack. After that, translating into that language works offline.
Which languages can it transcribe?
14, on device with Apple Speech: English, Italian, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Dutch, Russian, Turkish, Arabic, Hindi, Japanese, Korean and Chinese.
Can I go back to the original captions?
Yes. Tap Show the original and the captions return to the spoken language.
Can I fix a wrong word?
Yes. Edit text in the Captions tool fixes or removes any word. Styles, fonts, colours and size are all there too.
Is translating captions free?
Yes. Every feature in Clipped is free, translation included. Exports carry a small clipped.cc watermark; one optional one-time purchase removes it. No subscription, no credits.
Does it work on iPad?
Yes. Clipped needs iOS 26 and runs on iPhone and iPad.
