Short Translate

One take in, the same take in another language out, in the creator's own voice (ElevenLabs clones it from the take itself). The image stays the original: no lip-sync. Then /short-editing edits the translated take like any other, with captions in the new language.

Talk to them in their language. <slug>: the take's slug; <lang>: the target language code (en, es, fr, de, pt, it, ja...), <from>: the source one.

1. The ElevenLabs key (once)

The key lives in video-agent/.env, never in a chat message, a script or a commit:

grep -c ELEVENLABS_API_KEY video-agent/.env 2>/dev/null

0 or no file:

1. They create a key at elevenlabs.io/app/settings/api-keys (an ElevenLabs account; dubbing uses the credits of their plan, the free plan adds a watermark).
2. They paste it into video-agent/.env themselves, as one line: ELEVENLABS_API_KEY=sk_.... Offer to create the empty file and open it. Never ask them to paste the key in the chat; if they do anyway, write it to the file and tell them they can regenerate it.
3. video-agent/.env must be in the project's .gitignore (add the line video-agent/.env if it isn't).
