Translate video ads into Greek with AI dubbing and lip-sync
Greek has its own alphabet and punctuation, and Greek viewers expect ads that sound natural, not translated. GeckoDub turns the ad you already run into a Greek version with your speaker’s own voice, lip-sync and animated Greek subtitles.

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.
- Greece and Cyprus with one language
- Own alphabet and punctuation
- Mobile-first audience
- Test with existing ads first
What changes when your ad speaks Greek
Your footage, speaker and voice stay the same. These are the parts GeckoDub adapts for Greece, and the parts worth checking in Proofreading.
Εσύ or εσείς
Most consumer ads use εσύ; formal brands use εσείς.
Greek alphabet
Subtitles must render Greek letters and accent marks in your brand font.
Punctuation
Greek uses “;” as a question mark and « » for quotes.
Prices
Greece uses the euro, written 19,99 €.
Longer script
Greek often runs longer than English. GeckoDub fits the script to your timing.
Names and glossary
Decide whether brand names stay in Latin script.
How GeckoDub handles Greek
Accent marks
Greek words carry a stress accent (τόνος).
- Missing accents look careless
- Capitals usually drop the accent
- Check subtitles in Proofreading
Punctuation
Greek punctuation differs from English.
- ; is the question mark
- · is the semicolon
- « » for quotes
Gender and case
Greek nouns have three genders and four cases.
- Whole-sentence translation keeps endings right
- Locked names stay exact
- Check key lines
Brand names
Many brands keep Latin names in Greek text.
- Lock Latin brand names
- Be consistent
- Check on-screen text
Greeklish
Some viewers write Greek in Latin letters online, but ads should use Greek script.
- Greek script for subtitles
- Latin only for brand names
- Be consistent
Formal plural
εσείς is both formal and plural.
- εσύ for consumer brands
- εσείς for formal brands
- Keep one form
