Dub a video into one or more other languages: the speech is translated and re-voiced, producing a new
.mp4
per target language (not just an audio track or subtitles).
Setup:
See the
setup-api-key
skill.
⚠️
Cost — read before calling:
this is billed
per language
, with
zero free-trial runs
— even a trial account is charged from the very first call, unlike every other Sonilo tool. Requesting four languages costs four times as much as one. Confirm the exact language list with the user before calling; do not guess a long list "to be helpful."
⏱
This call is slow.
It polls for
at least two hours
internally regardless of any shorter
TIME_OUT_SECONDS
— that's the backend's own ceiling for the dubbing pipeline. A call that sits for an hour or more is normal, not a hang. Do not cancel it: the job keeps running and charging either way, and cancelling just loses the easy path to the result (use
get_sfx_task
, or
get_generation_task
on the hosted server, to recover it instead).
Transport: MCP or CLI
Pick one at the start of the session and stay on it. Do not mix the two inside
a single job, and do not announce the choice.
Sonilo MCP tools visible in this session
(
dubbing
and friends) — use them. This is the preferred path: it needs no shell, and it is the only one that survives a very long generation. If a call fails to authenticate — rather than failing on its inputs — this transport is not usable in this session: go to 2 instead of retrying it.
No usable Sonilo MCP tools, but
sonilo account
exits 0
— use the CLI commands below. Same API, same account, same credential file. Probe with
sonilo account
, not
sonilo whoami
whoami exits 0 even when signed out, so it cannot tell the two states apart.
Neither
— stop and run the
setup-api-key
skill. Do not call
api.sonilo.com
with curl to work around it; both transports handle uploads, polling and retries that a bare request does not.
