One video, several languages: a practical workflow
Short answer
Make the master version first, then duplicate it for each language and replace the script with the approved adaptation. Name each version clearly (for example 'Onboarding — ES'), check each with a fluent reviewer, and share every language as its own private link or embed.

Common mistakes
- Editing the master after versions exist
- Unlabelled language versions
- Sending one link to every audience
Review before publishing
- A fluent speaker of the target language has read the script aloud
- Names, numbers, dates and currency follow local convention
- On-screen words are short and spelt correctly in the finished video
- Narration and script are in the same language — no mixed recordings
- The video still fits the length you chose once narrated
Questions
Can I send a client several language versions at once?
Share each version as its own link; clients can view each one.
Do brand colours carry across versions?
Yes — a duplicated project keeps its brand settings.
