Code Examples

Step 1: Get Supported Languages

List all available target languages:

curl --request GET \
  --url 'https://api.jogg.ai/v2/video_translate/target_languages' \
  --header 'x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY'

Response:

{
  "code": 0,
  "msg": "Success",
  "data": {
    "languages": ["spanish", "french", "german", "japanese", "chinese", "korean"]
  }
}

Step 2: Get Available Voices for Target Language

Get voices available for your target language:

curl --request GET \
  --url 'https://api.jogg.ai/v2/voices?language=spanish' \
  --header 'x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY'

Response:

{
  "code": 0,
  "msg": "Success",
  "data": {
    "voices": [
      {
        "name": "Elvira",
        "voice_id": "es-ES-ElviraNeural",
        "language": "spanish",
        "gender": "female",
        "age": "young",
        "accent": "spanish",
        "audio_url": "https://res.jogg.ai/voice-sample.mp3"
      },
      {
        "name": "Alvaro",
        "voice_id": "es-ES-AlvaroNeural",
        "language": "spanish",
        "gender": "male",
        "age": "young",
        "accent": "spanish",
        "audio_url": "https://res.jogg.ai/voice-sample.mp3"
      }
    ],
    "has_more": false
  }
}

Save the voice_id from the response to use as output_voice in translation request. You can filter by gender and age if needed.

Step 3: Submit Translation Task

Submit your video for translation:

curl --request POST \
  --url 'https://api.jogg.ai/v2/video_translate/' \
  --header 'x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY' \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data '{
    "video_url": "https://example.com/original-video.mp4",
    "output_language": "spanish",
    "output_voice": "es-ES-ElviraNeural",
    "add_subtitles": true
  }'

Response:

{
  "code": 0,
  "msg": "Success",
  "data": {
    "video_translate_id": "vt_123456"
  }
}

Save the video_translate_id to check status later!

Step 4: Check Translation Status

Poll to check if translation is ready:

curl --request GET \
  --url 'https://api.jogg.ai/v2/video_translate/vt_123456' \
  --header 'x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY'

Response (Processing):

{
  "code": 0,
  "msg": "Success",
  "data": {
    "video_translate_id": "vt_123456",
    "title": "Translated Video Title",
    "status": "processing"
  }
}

Response (Completed):

{
  "code": 0,
  "msg": "Success",
  "data": {
    "video_translate_id": "vt_123456",
    "title": "Translated Video Title",
    "status": "completed",
    "url": "https://res.jogg.ai/translated_video.mp4",
    "subtitle_url": "https://res.jogg.ai/subtitle.srt"
  }
}

Status Values:

Status	Description	Action
`pending`	Task queued	Wait for processing
`processing`	Translation in progress	Continue polling (every 10s)
`completed`	Translation finished	Download video and subtitles
`failed`	Translation failed	Check error message

Instead of polling, use [Webhooks](/api-reference/v2/API Documentation/WebhookIntegration) to get notified instantly when translations are ready!

Troubleshooting

Translation takes too long

Issue: Processing exceeds expected timeSolutions:

Video length impacts processing time (2-5 min per minute of video)
Verify video URL is publicly accessible
Check video file size (very large files take longer)
Check current API status for delays
Use webhook to get notified when complete

Poor voiceover quality

Issue: Translated audio doesn’t sound naturalSolutions:

Try different output_voice values for target language
Ensure original audio is clear (low background noise)
Check if original speech pace is too fast
Enable subtitles for better context
Test with high-quality source video first

Video not accessible

Error: Video URL not accessibleSolutions:

Ensure URL is publicly accessible (no authentication)
Check CORS/download restrictions
Verify video format is supported (MP4, MOV, AVI)
Try uploading to a CDN first
Check URL is not expired or temporary

Translation inaccurate

Issue: Translated content doesn’t match originalSolutions:

Original audio may not be clear enough
Check for heavy accents or dialects
Avoid technical jargon or domain-specific terms
Consider adding subtitles to original first
Test with simpler, clearer speech
