How do I change the default language?

To change the default language in Colossyan, follow these steps:

  1. Remove all scripts from your draft

  2. Create a new script with your preferred default language

Note that the default language is automatically determined based on your script. By removing existing scripts from all scenes and starting fresh in your desired language, the new default language will be applied.

What does Mixed mean in my default language variant and how do I fix it?

Mixed means that you have multiple languages in your script. To fix this do the following:

  1. Review all your scenes

  2. Make sure that your script is in the same language in all scenes

What will be translated?

Both the script and text content inside your scenes will be translated. Uploaded images, PDFs, uploaded audio, or video files cannot be translated.

How do I change formatting in a language variant?

To adjust the font size of the translated text follow the below steps:

  1. Open a draft

  2. Switch to a language variant,

  3. Select the textbox you'd like to adjust

  4. Check the box next to Detach text format

  5. Adjust the font size

How many videos can I automatically translate?

That depends on your plan.

Free trial: 3 translations

Starter: 3 translations

Pro: 10 translations

Enterprise: Unlimited translations

Translation in this case means generating a video in a different language than your default language.

How does it affect my video generation minutes?

Each generated variant is it's own generated video and each one counts to the video generation minutes.

If you have 10 different languages for a 60-second video, 10 minutes will be deducted from your video generation time.

Generating all 10 language variants as videos will deduct the video's length ten times from your video generation time allowance, as 10 videos are being generated. When using auto-translation, calculate the length of your video multiplied by the number of language variants.
