Instead of paying dollars to an online service like " heygen.com", can't we do that on our computer? Offline? Installing some high-end AI softwares on very powerful processors?

What sort of videos you are talking about? If songs then words of well known sings can be easily found and those can be easily ranslated without any special software

I strongly recommend doing what ferdi suggests. Whisper is bad at singing, but other tools like Google's "search song" feature is highly effective. And many songs already have human translated lyrics too!

Yeah, I recommend running Whisper locally, for free. Whisper used to run pretty slow on ordinary hardware, but engines such as Purfview's Faster Whisper have really improved things.
