Publish in the languages your audience listens in

Multilingual output

Your show can be in English and half your audience still not be. Podlink transcribes across the major podcasting languages and generates a second-language version of an episode's notes, description and social copy in one pass — in the same format and voice as the original.

Half your audience doesn't read the language you publish in — and paying a translator every single week was never going to happen, so the second-language listeners just never got anything written for them.

  • Transcription across the major podcasting languages
  • Notes, descriptions and social copy translated in one pass
  • Your template and tone carried into the second language

How it works

  1. 01

    Transcribe in the recording language

    The episode is transcribed in the language it was actually recorded in.

  2. 02

    Pick the output language

    Generate the notes, description and social copy in the language you want to publish in.

  3. 03

    Publish both versions

    Same structure, same tone settings, different language — put each where its audience reads.

One episode, more than one written output

Translating an episode's written material by hand means paying a translator for something that has to happen every week, so most shows simply never do it — and then wonder why a big listener market never converts. Generate the whole output set in a second language from the same transcript and the cost of trying is an extra pass.

  • Show notes, episode description and social posts in the target language
  • Generated from the transcript, not from a machine translation of a summary
  • Run it for one episode to test the market before committing to it

Recorded in one language, published in another

Transcription works in the language the episode was recorded in, so a Spanish-language show gets a Spanish transcript and can publish English notes for a directory listing that reaches further. It works in either direction, and the format you set stays the format you get.

  • Transcribe in the recording language
  • Generate written output in the language you want to publish in
  • Same structure, same tone settings, different language

Multilingual output questions

Which languages are supported?

Dozens, covering the major podcasting languages. If you are publishing in a language you can name, it is worth running one episode through to see the output quality for yourself rather than taking a list's word for it.

Is this good enough to publish without a translator?

For show notes, descriptions and social copy, usually yes — and for a market you are testing rather than committing to, it is the difference between publishing something and publishing nothing. If a language becomes a real audience, have a native speaker read it. That is a much smaller job than translating from scratch.

Does it translate the audio?

No. Podlink writes text, it does not re-record or dub your episode. The audio stays exactly as you published it.

Can I publish notes in two languages for the same episode?

Yes. Generate each language you need from the same episode and put them wherever they belong — your host, your site or your podlink.fm page.
