AI Dubbing for Short Clips: All 105 Languages Katto Supports (2026 List)

"Can it dub into my language?" is the first question creators ask about AI dubbing, and most tools answer it with a single number on the pricing page. This page gives the full list instead: every language Katto can dub a short clip into, which ones are stable and which are still in beta, and how dubbing differs from simply translating the captions.

Everything below was checked against Katto's code and production settings on November 10, 2026. Disclosure: I build Katto.

Dubbing vs caption translation: two different things

• Dubbing replaces the voice. The clip is transcribed, translated, spoken by an AI voice in the new language and timed back onto the video, with captions in the new language too. Katto offers it in 105 languages on the Creator plan.
• Caption translation keeps the original voice and only translates the subtitles, word by word, with the timing preserved. It covers 19 languages and is available on every paid plan.

If your audience reads along on mute, caption translation is often enough. If you want the clip to sound native, you need dubbing.

The 19 stable languages

These are the original dubbing languages. Each has curated voices with a pre-recorded preview, and they are also the 19 languages available for caption translation:

Arabic, Chinese, Dutch, English, French, German, Hindi, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Thai, Turkish, Ukrainian, Vietnamese.

The 86 beta languages

These were added in October 2026. Each one passed a round-trip test before release: a sentence was translated, spoken by the AI voice, then handed to a separate audio model that had to name the language and transcribe it back. Three languages failed that test (Wolof, Dzongkha and Sundanese) and are not offered; Irish was borderline and is held back.

Afrikaans, Albanian, Amharic, Armenian, Assamese, Azerbaijani, Basque, Belarusian, Bengali, Bhojpuri, Bosnian, Bulgarian, Burmese, Cantonese, Catalan, Cebuano, Chinese (Traditional), Crimean Tatar, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Egyptian Arabic, Estonian, Filipino, Finnish, Galician, Ganda, Georgian, Greek, Gujarati, Haitian Creole, Hausa, Hebrew, Hungarian, Icelandic, Igbo, Ilocano, Kannada, Kazakh, Khmer, Kinyarwanda, Kurdish (Sorani), Kyrgyz, Lao, Latvian, Lingala, Lithuanian, Luxembourgish, Macedonian, Magahi, Maithili, Malay, Malayalam, Maltese, Manipuri, Marathi, Nepali, Norwegian Bokmål, Norwegian Nynorsk, Occitan, Odia, Oromo, Persian, Punjabi, Romanian, Serbian, Shona, Sinhala, Slovak, Slovenian, Somali, Swahili, Swedish, Tajik, Tamil, Tatar, Telugu, Tigrinya, Tswana, Turkmen, Urdu, Uzbek, Welsh, Xhosa, Yoruba, Zulu.

What "beta" means in practice: the voice preview is generated live instead of pre-recorded, and beta languages run on a single speech engine with no fallback. On a day of unusually high demand a beta dub can fail and need to be retried later. The 19 stable languages don't have that limit.

Where the 105 languages help most

Most clipping tools cover the big European and East Asian languages. The beta list is where the gap is: it includes 15 languages spoken in India besides Hindi (Bengali, Tamil, Telugu, Marathi, Gujarati, Kannada, Malayalam, Punjabi, Odia, Assamese, Bhojpuri, Urdu, Maithili, Magahi and Manipuri), African languages such as Swahili, Hausa, Yoruba, Igbo, Amharic, Zulu, Xhosa and Somali, and Southeast Asian languages such as Filipino, Cebuano, Khmer, Lao and Burmese.

A worked example: one English clip, three audiences

Say you clip a 45-second answer from an English podcast. On Katto Creator you can:

1. Keep the English original for your main channel.
2. Dub it into Hindi (stable) and Bengali (beta) for audiences in India and Bangladesh, each as a separate clip with captions in that language.
3. Translate only the captions into Spanish for viewers who watch on mute.

That is two dubs and one caption translation from a single clip. Creator includes 20 dubs every 30 days, and caption translation does not use your video quota.

What it costs

• Dubbing: Creator plan only, €14.90/month or €11.90/month billed yearly, which also includes 25 videos a month of up to 90 minutes each. 20 dubs every 30 days.
• Caption translation (19 languages): every paid plan, from Solo at €8.90/month or €4.90/month billed yearly.
• Free plan: captions in 99 languages (the language of the video), no dubbing and no caption translation.

Dubbing is also available outside the web app: the katto_dub_clip tool in Katto's MCP server and the REST API accept the same 105 language codes, so an AI agent can dub clips for you.

How other clippers handle dubbing

Checked on each vendor's own pages on November 10, 2026:

• Reap dubs into 80+ languages across 143 regional locales, labelled early access. Creator ($9.99/month billed yearly) includes 2 hours of dubbing a month, Studio 5 hours. Its regional voices go further than Katto's for some languages; Katto covers more languages overall.
• Pictory offers AI dubbing in 18 languages, from English, for videos made inside Pictory (scripts, articles, slides).
• Kapwing offers dubbing in its editor and through its MCP server; its own pages give different language counts.

If you mostly need the big European and Asian languages, every tool on this list will do. If your audience speaks Bengali, Tamil, Swahili or Yoruba, check the exact list before you pay, which is why it is published in full above.
