    Intelligent Media Services:SubmitVideoTranslationJob

    Last Updated:Mar 30, 2026

    By using this API, you can submit a video translation job. The following translation types are currently supported: subtitle-level translation (translating subtitles in the video into a specified language), voice-level translation (translating spoken audio content into a specified language), and face-level translation (lip-sync adaptation).

    Operation description

    • For this API, the region in the OSS URL of all media assets must match the region in the OpenAPI endpoint.

    • This API supports 30 queries per second (QPS 30). When a large number of jobs are submitted, they are automatically queued and processed with dynamic scale-out, with no limit on the number of concurrent executions.

    • After submitting a video translation job, a JobId is returned. You can subsequently use this JobId to invoke the GetSmartHandleJob API to retrieve the job status and result information.

      Important For detailed parameter descriptions and examples of this API, refer to the following document: Introduction and Examples of Video Translation Parameters

    RAM authorization

    The table below describes the authorization required to call this API. You can define it in a Resource Access Management (RAM) policy. The table's columns are detailed below:

    • Action: The actions can be used in the Action element of RAM permission policy statements to grant permissions to perform the operation.

    • API: The API that you can call to perform the action.

    • Access level: The predefined level of access granted for each API. Valid values: create, list, get, update, and delete.

    • Resource type: The type of the resource that supports authorization to perform the action. It indicates if the action supports resource-level permission. The specified resource must be compatible with the action. Otherwise, the policy will be ineffective.

      • For APIs with resource-level permissions, required resource types are marked with an asterisk (*). Specify the corresponding Alibaba Cloud Resource Name (ARN) in the Resource element of the policy.

      • For APIs without resource-level permissions, it is shown as All Resources. Use an asterisk (*) in the Resource element of the policy.

    • Condition key: The condition keys defined by the service. The key allows for granular control, applying to either actions alone or actions associated with specific resources. In addition to service-specific condition keys, Alibaba Cloud provides a set of common condition keys applicable across all RAM-supported services.

    • Dependent action: The dependent actions required to run the action. To complete the action, the RAM user or the RAM role must have the permissions to perform all dependent actions.
