Who watches in Indonesian
Indonesian, Bahasa Indonesia, is the national language of the fourth most populous country in the world. Most Indonesians grow up with a regional language such as Javanese or Sundanese at home, and Indonesian is the language they share: at school, at work, on television and online, across thousands of islands from Sumatra to Papua.
Indonesia is also one of the most active video audiences anywhere, with a young population that spends hours a day on YouTube, short video apps and live shopping. A video in Indonesian reaches that audience in the language every one of them reads and hears daily, which English, for most of them, is not.
What Sonilo does in Indonesian
Indonesian
Indonesian is selected when you start from this page. Add any other language in the same job; each is priced on its own.
Lip sync, on or off
On, the speakers' mouths are rendered again to match the Indonesian lines. Off, your picture stays exactly as it was and only the voice changes.
Proofread the Indonesian script
Read the transcript beside its Indonesian translation, line by line, and correct it before anything is voiced. Or upload your own Indonesian .srt or .vtt and the dub says exactly those lines.
Indonesian subtitles in the picture
When the dub comes back with its Indonesian script, style the subtitles and export a copy with them burned in, set in Noto Sans unless you pick another font.
Getting Indonesian right
What to check while you proofread a video going into Indonesian.
Formal or everyday Indonesian
Written Indonesian, bahasa baku, is formal and can sound stiff when spoken. Everyday Indonesian, especially in Jakarta, is shorter and more relaxed, with words like gue and lo for I and you among friends. Brands usually sit in between, using kamu or Anda. Choose the register while you proofread and keep it consistent.
Anda or kamu
Anda is polite and neutral, common in ads, banking and official content. Kamu feels warmer and younger, and is what many lifestyle brands and creators use. Neither is wrong; switching between them in one video is. Read the translated script once with only this in mind.
Indonesian is not Malay
Indonesian and Malaysian Malay share roots and are largely understood both ways, but vocabulary and spelling differ, and viewers notice. Sonilo dubs Indonesian, written for Indonesia. If your video is for Malaysia, treat Indonesian as a close neighbor rather than the same language.
Keep the English that Indonesians use
Tech, gaming and marketing words are often said in English in Indonesia: update, live, checkout, gaming. A translation that forces each one into formal Indonesian can sound old fashioned. Keep the terms your viewers actually use, and make product names match the app.
Who translates video into Indonesian
Live shopping and online stores
Sellers on Indonesian marketplaces win with product videos in Indonesian. Translate a demo made for another market, check prices are in rupiah, and download the Indonesian cut for each store and social account.
Mobile games and apps
Indonesia is a large market for mobile games and apps. Trailers, tutorials and update videos in Indonesian make a launch feel local, and one upload can also give you Thai and Vietnamese for the rest of the region.
Creators and educators
Channels that teach technology, finance or languages in English can open an Indonesian audience with the videos they already have. Proofread the technical terms, and keep the presenter on screen with lip sync on.
Brands entering Southeast Asia
Companies launching in Indonesia can turn the global brand film into Indonesian without a new shoot, keeping the approved claims and offer exactly as written while you proofread.
You read the script before it is voiced.
Four steps from the video you already have to the same video in Indonesian.
- 01
Upload your video
An .mp4, .mov or .m4v up to 5 minutes and 400 MB. Sonilo detects the language that is spoken, so there is nothing to set. Add an .srt or .vtt per language if you already have the lines.
- 02
Pick Indonesian
Choose Indonesian, add more languages if you like, and decide whether lip sync renders the mouths again to match.
- 03
Proofread the Indonesian script
Switch on proofreading to read the transcript and the Indonesian translation line by line, and fix names, product terms and jokes before anything is voiced.
- 04
Watch, then download
Play every language in the browser. Download the translated videos and their subtitles on any paid plan.
Made for the video you already cut.
The soundtrack stays
Sonilo keeps the original background music and sound effects and replaces only the speech, with lip sync on or off.
The speaker’s own voice
Sonilo keeps the speaker’s own voice in the new language, so the translated speech sounds like the person in your video, not a stock voice. There is no voice to record or set up.
Lip sync, when you want it
On: mouths are re-rendered to match the new language. Off: your original picture stays untouched and only the voice is replaced.
You approve the words
The translation is a script you can read and correct first. A product name, a joke, a line of dialogue: fix it before it is spoken.
Your subtitles, spoken
Upload an .srt or .vtt for a language and the dub says exactly those lines, instead of a machine translation of them.
Music for the new cut
Sonilo also adds music to video. If a translated version needs its own soundtrack, add music to it in the same account.

Before you upload
What people ask before they translate their first video.
Will the Indonesian sound formal?
The script is yours to adjust before anything is voiced. If the translation reads like a textbook, switch to the words and the form of address your viewers use, Anda or kamu, while you proofread.
Can I use the Indonesian version in Malaysia?
Many Malaysians will understand it, but it is Indonesian, not Malay, and some words and spellings will feel foreign. Sonilo does not offer a separate Malay version today.
Can I translate an Indonesian video into English?
Yes. Upload the Indonesian video and pick English, or any other language Sonilo dubs. The spoken language is detected automatically.
Can I translate into Indonesian, Thai and Vietnamese together?
Yes. Pick all three in one job and get a version in each from a single upload. Each language is priced on its own.
Can I put Indonesian subtitles on the video?
Yes, when the dub comes back with its Indonesian script: proofread it first, or upload your own .srt or .vtt. On a computer you can then style the subtitles and export a copy of the video with them burned in, set in Noto Sans unless you pick another font.
Which languages can I translate into Indonesian from?
Any of the other 21 languages Sonilo works with. You do not pick the source: Sonilo detects the language spoken in your video when it transcribes it, then translates that transcript into Indonesian.
Which languages can I translate into?
English, German, Spanish (Latin America), Spanish, Hindi, Indonesian, Arabic, French, Chinese (Mandarin), Japanese, Portuguese (Brazil), Portuguese, Vietnamese, Korean, Italian, Russian, Tamil, Turkish, Kannada, Thai, Gujarati, Malayalam, Punjabi (India), Sindhi (India). Pick any number in one job.
How long can my video be?
Up to 5 minutes and 400 MB, as .mp4, .mov or .m4v. For something longer, split it and translate the parts.
Can I edit the translation?
Yes. You read and correct the translated script before the video is rendered, so names and phrasing come out the way you want.
What does lip sync change?
With lip sync on, the speakers' mouths are rendered again to match the new language. With it off, your picture is left exactly as it was and only the voice changes, so mouths still move to the original language.
Does Sonilo keep the background music and sound effects?
Yes. Sonilo keeps your video's original background music and sound effects and replaces only the speech, so the translated version plays over the same soundtrack, with lip sync on or off.
Does Sonilo clone the speaker's voice?
Yes. Sonilo keeps the speaker's own voice in the new language: the translated speech sounds like the person in your video, not a stock voice, and when several people speak, each keeps their own. There is no voice to record or set up first.
I already have subtitles. Can I use them?
Yes. Upload an .srt or .vtt for a language and the dub says exactly those lines.
How does Sonilo compare with HeyGen, ElevenLabs and Rask?
Sonilo suits short creator clips that also need music or sound effects: 24 languages, videos up to 5 minutes, lip sync on Pro and Premium, plus one free trial on Free and Creator. HeyGen lists more languages, and ElevenLabs Dubbing is the cheapest way in. We make Sonilo, and our comparison of eight AI video translators, limits included, is at https://sonilo.com/compare/best-ai-video-translators.
Can I translate a video for free?
The free plan comes with 2,000 credits every two weeks, which covers about 40 seconds of video in one language. You can watch the result in the browser. Downloading it takes any paid plan.
