Who watches in Punjabi

Punjabi is spoken by well over a hundred million people across Punjab in India and Punjab in Pakistan, and by a large diaspora in Canada, the United Kingdom, the United States and Australia. In India it is written in Gurmukhi, the script of the Sikh scriptures; in Pakistan, in the Perso Arabic Shahmukhi script.

Punjabi culture has an outsized presence online. Punjabi music tops charts well beyond India, and Punjabi film and comedy have devoted audiences at home and abroad. Viewers in Punjab and in diaspora families respond to content in Punjabi with a warmth that English or Hindi versions rarely get.

What Sonilo does in Punjabi

Punjabi (India)

Punjabi (India) 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 Punjabi lines. Off, your picture stays exactly as it was and only the voice changes.

Proofread the Punjabi script

Read the transcript beside its Punjabi translation, line by line, and correct it before anything is voiced. Or upload your own Punjabi .srt or .vtt and the dub says exactly those lines.

Punjabi subtitles: not yet in the picture

None of the subtitle fonts can set Punjabi text yet, so subtitles cannot be burned into a Punjabi dub today. The dubbed video itself is unaffected.

Getting Punjabi right

What to check while you proofread a video going into Punjabi.

Punjabi as spoken in India

Sonilo dubs the Punjabi of India. Viewers in Pakistan speak the same language with their own vocabulary and accent, and read a different script. If your audience is mainly in India or the Indian diaspora, this is the right fit; for Pakistan, expect it to sound like Indian Punjabi.

Keep the energy

Spoken Punjabi is lively and direct, and a translation that sounds formal or subdued loses the audience. While you proofread, loosen stiff lines into the way people actually talk, and keep the English and Hindi words Punjabi speakers mix in every day.

Respect in address

Punjabi distinguishes the respectful tusi from the familiar tu. Brands and presenters address viewers as tusi. Check that the script uses one form throughout, and that names, family titles and religious references are written with care.

Speak to the diaspora

Many Punjabi speaking viewers live in Canada and the UK. If your video is for them, adjust currency, places and examples while you proofread, and offer an English version from the same upload for younger family members.

Who translates video into Punjabi

Music and entertainment

Artists, labels and film producers can voice interviews, behind the scenes videos and trailers in Punjabi for fans at home and abroad. Lip sync makes speakers appear to talk in Punjabi.

Immigration, education and travel

Consultancies, colleges and travel companies serving Punjabi families can explain their services in Punjabi, checking every figure and requirement while they proofread.

Brands and regional campaigns

Ads and product videos in Punjabi reach customers across Punjab beyond the big cities. Translate the Hindi or English master and download the Punjabi cut for each platform.

Agriculture and community content

Farm equipment makers, cooperatives and community organizations in Punjab can share explainers and announcements in Punjabi, so instructions are clear to everyone who needs them.

You read the script before it is voiced.

Four steps from the video you already have to the same video in Punjabi.

  1. 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.

  2. 02

    Pick Punjabi

    Choose Punjabi, add more languages if you like, and decide whether lip sync renders the mouths again to match.

  3. 03

    Proofread the Punjabi script

    Switch on proofreading to read the transcript and the Punjabi translation line by line, and fix names, product terms and jokes before anything is voiced.

  4. 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.

Which Punjabi does Sonilo dub into?

Punjabi as spoken in India. That is the only variant the dubbing pipeline offers, so a video for Punjabi speakers elsewhere gets it too; adjust any word that reads oddly while you proofread.

Will viewers in Pakistan understand the Punjabi version?

Most will understand spoken Punjabi, but Sonilo dubs the Punjabi of India, and viewers in Pakistan will hear Indian vocabulary and accent. Sonilo does not offer a separate Pakistani Punjabi.

Will the Punjabi sound formal or conversational?

The translated script is yours to change before anything is voiced. If it reads too formally, rewrite lines in everyday spoken Punjabi while you proofread.

Can I translate a Punjabi video into English or Hindi?

Yes. Upload the video spoken in Punjabi and pick English, Hindi or any other language Sonilo dubs. The spoken language is detected for you.

Can I translate into Punjabi and Hindi together?

Yes. Pick both in one job and get a version in each from a single upload. Each language is priced on its own.

Can I put Punjabi subtitles on the video?

Not yet. Sonilo dubs video into Punjabi, but none of its subtitle fonts can set Punjabi text, so Punjabi subtitles cannot be burned into the picture today. The dubbed video itself is unaffected.

Which languages can I translate into Punjabi 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 Punjabi.

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.

Your next audience speaks Punjabi.
