How to make an AI track in Spanish, Portuguese, French or another language

Set the Language select next to the Voice buttons in the studio to Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Italian, Dutch, Japanese, Korean or UK or US English before you write or paste lyrics. The built-in writer drafts directly in that language, and the music model is told the language of the vocal, so pronunciation and phrasing match. Change the select first; it is read when the writer runs and when the track renders.

Steps

1. Choose the language

Under the lyrics panel, open the Language select and pick the language the track should be sung in. On a phone the select is on step 3 of 5. The choice is saved in your browser with the rest of the draft.

2. Lead with a genre that fits the language

Put a genre that suits the language first under 03 · Genres: Reggaeton, Latin House or Dembow for Spanish, Baile Funk or Bossa Nova for Portuguese, K-Pop for Korean, Afro House or Amapiano for an English or Portuguese African-flavoured record. The lead genre sets the style; the language sets the words.

3. Write the brief in any language

The 02 · Vibe text and the What is the song about? field can stay in English. "Summer in Lisbon, missing someone, warm and hopeful" produces Portuguese lyrics about exactly that when the select is on Portuguese.

4. Let the writer draft, or paste your own

Click Write a draft for me and fill in the dialog as usual. The draft arrives in the chosen language with the same [Verse], [Chorus] and [Drop] tags. If you have your own lyrics, choose Mine and paste them; keep the tags in English because they are instructions, not lyrics.

5. Match the accent chip

In Voice options, the Accent chips are a light pronunciation hint. Spanish-tinged with Spanish lyrics, French-tinged with French, Caribbean with dancehall-flavoured English. For Japanese or Korean leave Accent on Neutral.

6. Read or check the draft

If you speak the language, read the draft aloud. If you do not, paste it into a translator to confirm it says what you meant and contains nothing you would not play. Keep it clean applies in every language.

7. Generate and listen for pronunciation

Press Generate. Pronunciation quality varies between takes more than in English, so listen to both takes through the first chorus before choosing.

Tips

• Short lines help every language. Japanese and Korean lyrics with long lines get rushed; keep lines to a few words.
• Name the dialect in the vibe. "Brazilian Portuguese" or "Mexican Spanish slang" in the vibe box steers vocabulary and accent.
• UK versus US English matters. The two English options change spelling and slang in the draft and nudge the accent.
• Cloned voices keep their accent. A clone made from an English sample singing Spanish will sound like an English speaker. Clone a sample in the target language if accent matters.
• Titles can stay in the song's language. The Suggest names button proposes titles from the lyrics, so Spanish lyrics get Spanish title ideas.

Common problems

The draft came out in English. The select was still on English when you clicked Write lyrics. Change it and press Rewrite.

The pronunciation is off. Try the other take, then respell difficult words phonetically in the lyrics. Setting the matching Accent chip also helps for Spanish and French.

Mixed-language lines sound awkward. Keep each line in one language and switch at line breaks; the model handles whole lines better than mid-line switches.

The writer used words I do not want. Edit the draft directly or add "simple everyday vocabulary" to the theme and rewrite.
