Can a Romanian version also run in Moldova?

Yes. Romanian is understood in Moldova. Prices and delivery terms may differ, so check them in Proofreading.

Should my Romanian ad use tu or dumneavoastră?

Most consumer brands use tu. Formal sectors such as banking use dumneavoastră.

Will the Romanian voice sound like my original speaker?

Yes. GeckoDub clones your speaker’s voice, so the Romanian version sounds like the same person, with lips re-synced to the Romanian script.

How do I write prices for Romania?

Show prices in lei, for example 19,99 lei.

Can I translate one ad into Romanian and other languages at once?

Yes. Pick Romanian and any other languages; they process in parallel and finish together.

What is the difference between an AI video translator and AI dubbing?

An AI video translator turns a video into another language end to end: transcript, translation, voice and subtitles. AI dubbing is the voice part: the translated script spoken in a cloned voice, with lip-sync. GeckoDub does both in one step, so you upload once and download a finished Romanian video.

How do I translate a video into Romanian?

Upload the video to GeckoDub, choose Romanian, check the script in Proofreading if you want, and download the result with the speaker’s cloned voice, lip-sync and subtitles. You can try it free on two clips of about 15 seconds each.

How long does a Romanian version of my ad take?

About 4 minutes for the 15-second free preview, and 6–7 minutes for a 30-second ad. If you translate several videos or languages at once, they process in parallel and finish together.

Can I check the Romanian script before it is voiced?

Yes. Turn on Proofreading to check the transcript and the Romanian translation first, and fix product names, slang or technical terms. Your glossary keeps brand and product names the same in every video.

Quick answers

Translating video ads for Romania: the short version

What is the best AI video translator for Romanian ads?

Keep the ad you already run and translate it with the speaker’s own voice, Romanian lip-sync and Romanian subtitles. GeckoDub transcribes the ad, translates the script, clones the speaker’s voice, re-syncs the lips and adds animated subtitles. A 30-second ad takes about 6–7 minutes.

Why do translated ads underperform in Romania?

Missing diacritics, prices in euros and literal phrasing make an ad look foreign. Romanian viewers trust ads that sound local and show clear prices in lei.

What makes Romanian video localization different?

You choose between tu and dumneavoastră, use ș and ț with a comma below, show prices in lei and follow Romanian rules on language and advertising.

Is AI dubbing good enough for Romanian ads?

Modern AI dubbing keeps the original speaker’s voice and re-syncs the lips to the Romanian script, so the version looks and sounds like the same ad. Judge it on your own footage: the free test gives you two clips of about 15 seconds each, with high-quality lip-sync.

Why Romania needs its own version of your ad

Romania has about 19 million people and a fast-growing e-commerce market. Romanian is also spoken in Moldova, so one version reaches both.

Romanian viewers notice ads made for other markets: prices in euros, missing diacritics or Italian-sounding phrasing. Local wording builds trust.

Producing new Romanian ads for every campaign takes time and budget. Translating the ads that already work lets you test Romania first.

In short

A fast-growing online market

Test Romania with existing ads before paying for local shoots

Localization

What changes when your ad speaks Romanian

Your footage, speaker and voice stay the same. These are the parts GeckoDub adapts for Romania, and the parts worth checking in Proofreading.

Tu or dumneavoastră

Most consumer ads use tu. Formal sectors such as banking use dumneavoastră.

Diacritics

Romanian uses ș and ț with a comma below. Subtitles should use these, not the older cedilla forms.

Numbers and prices

Prices in lei, written 19,99 lei and 1.000 lei.

Longer script

Romanian often runs longer than English. GeckoDub fits the script to your timing; trim long lines if needed.

Definite articles

Romanian attaches “the” to the end of nouns. Locked product names keep their base form.

Names and glossary

Lock brand and product names so they keep their exact spelling.

How GeckoDub handles Romanian

GeckoDub translates whole sentences in context, not word by word. These are the Romanian details it handles, and the ones worth a quick check in Proofreading.

Diacritics

Romanian has five special letters, and two of them are often rendered wrongly.

ă, â, î, ș, ț
ș and ț with a comma below, not a cedilla
Check fonts in your brand kit support them

Tu or dumneavoastră

Choose once per brand. tu feels close and modern; dumneavoastră feels formal.

“Descoperă” (tu) vs “Descoperiți” (formal)
tu: fashion, beauty, apps
Formal: banking, insurance, B2B

Articles and endings

Romanian adds the definite article to the end of nouns and changes endings by case.

produs, produsul, produsului
Whole-sentence translation keeps endings right
Locked names keep their base form

English words

Some English marketing terms are common, but key benefits should be in Romanian.

“Reduceri” instead of “sale”
Lock English brand names
Avoid unnecessary anglicisms

Idioms and tone

English idioms rarely work word for word. GeckoDub uses natural Romanian phrasing.

“Don’t miss it” becomes “Nu rata”
Warm, friendly lines work well
Adjust lines in Proofreading

Moldova

Romanian is the official language of Moldova, with some regional words and different currency.

Same version usually works
Prices in Moldovan lei (MDL)
Check prices in Proofreading
