Should my Greek ad use εσύ or εσείς?

Most consumer brands use εσύ. Formal brands use εσείς.

Do Greek subtitles need accent marks?

Yes. Missing accents look careless; GeckoDub’s subtitles support them.

Will the Greek version sound like my speaker?

Yes. GeckoDub clones your speaker’s voice in Greek.

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 Greek video.

How do I translate a video into Greek?

Upload the video to GeckoDub, choose Greek, 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 Greek 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 Greek script before it is voiced?

Yes. Turn on Proofreading to check the transcript and the Greek 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 Greece: the short version

What is the best AI video translator for Greek ads?

Keep the ad you already run and translate it with the speaker’s own voice, Greek lip-sync and Greek 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.

Does a Greek version also work in Cyprus?

Yes. Greek is the main language in Cyprus, which also uses the euro. Check local delivery and offers in Proofreading.

What makes Greek video localization different?

Greek uses its own alphabet and accent marks, writes the question mark as “;”, often runs longer than English and has its own consumer rules.

Is AI dubbing good enough for Greek ads?

Modern AI dubbing keeps the original speaker’s voice and re-syncs the lips to the Greek 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 Greece needs its own version of your ad

Greece has about 10 million people and a growing, mobile-first e-commerce market. Cyprus adds another Greek-speaking market.

Greek viewers notice English-only ads and stiff translations. Natural Greek with correct accents builds trust.

Translate the ads that already work and test Greece before investing in local shoots.
