Transcript Summary Repurpose
00:00:05 Every phone is good now. That sounds like a win, but it quietly killed the reason to upgrade.
00:00:14 When everything is a slab of glass, the spec sheet stops mattering to normal people.
00:00:23 So the real competition moved to software, cameras, and how long the thing actually lasts.
00:00:32 Boring is what winning looks like once a category matures.

How to translate a YouTube video.

A YouTube-native translator: because YouTube returns per-line timing, translated subtitles come out frame-accurate — not the drifting mess you get from generic tools.

Works with every YouTube URL

Standard youtube.com/watch?v=…, vertical youtube.com/shorts/…, and youtu.be/… share links all translate. Completed live replays work as soon as their audio is available. Unlisted videos work with the full URL; private and members-only videos cannot be translated.

Frame-accurate translated subtitles

YouTube is the one platform that returns per-line timestamps natively. That means when you export a translated SRT or VTT, every translated cue keeps the original start and end time — so your Spanish, Japanese, or Arabic subtitles land exactly on the speaker with zero re-aligning.

Translate into 40 languages

Translate any YouTube video into all 40 supported languages: 🇺🇸 English (USA) · 🇪🇸 Spanish · 🇫🇷 French · 🇩🇪 German · 🇧🇷 Portuguese · 🇨🇳 Chinese · 🇯🇵 Japanese · 🇰🇷 Korean · 🇸🇦 Arabic · 🇮🇳 Hindi · 🇷🇺 Russian · 🇮🇹 Italian · 🇳🇱 Dutch · 🇵🇱 Polish · 🇹🇷 Turkish · 🇻🇳 Vietnamese · 🇹🇭 Thai · 🇸🇪 Swedish · 🇩🇰 Danish · 🇳🇴 Norwegian · 🇫🇮 Finnish · 🇨🇿 Czech · 🇬🇷 Greek · 🇷🇴 Romanian · 🇭🇺 Hungarian · 🇺🇦 Ukrainian · 🇸🇰 Slovak · 🇧🇬 Bulgarian · 🇭🇷 Croatian · 🇷🇸 Serbian · 🇮🇱 Hebrew · 🇮🇷 Persian · 🇮🇩 Indonesian · 🇲🇾 Malay · 🇵🇭 Filipino · 🇧🇩 Bengali · 🇮🇳 Tamil · 🇵🇰 Urdu · 🇪🇸 Catalan · 🇰🇪 Swahili. English is the default target, but the workflow is identical for every language.

Translate videos with no captions

If a creator never enabled captions, a caption-scraping extension returns nothing. We transcribe the YouTube audio directly and then translate it — so tutorials, music videos with voice-over, and old uploads all translate fine.

No extension, no download

This runs in your browser — no Chrome extension, no software, no signup to start. Paste a YouTube link, pick a language, and the translation is ready in seconds. If you also want the untranslated text, the YouTube transcript generator produces the source transcript.

FAQ

Translate-YouTube questions.

How do I translate a YouTube video?
Copy the YouTube URL, paste it into the box at the top of this page, pick your target language, and click Translate. We transcribe the audio and translate it in about fifteen seconds — no download or extension.
Can I translate YouTube Shorts and live replays?
Yes. Any public YouTube URL works — Shorts (youtube.com/shorts/…), long-form videos, completed live replays, and youtu.be share links are all accepted automatically.
What languages can I translate a YouTube video into?
Into any of 40 languages, including Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Mandarin, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Hindi, Russian, Italian, and Dutch. English is the default target.
Can I download translated YouTube subtitles?
Yes. Export the translation as SRT or VTT. Because YouTube provides per-line timing, the translated subtitles stay frame-accurate to the speaker — ready to burn in or re-upload.
Is translating YouTube videos free?
Your first YouTube translations are free with no signup or credit card. Paid plans start at a few dollars a month afterward — see the credits page for pricing.
Does it work on YouTube videos without captions?
Yes. We transcribe the YouTube audio directly rather than relying on an existing caption file, so videos that never had captions still translate.
Can I also translate a video FROM English into another language?
Yes. The dropdown sets the target language, so you can translate an English YouTube video into Spanish, French, Japanese, or any of the other 39 languages just as easily.
How is this different from just getting the transcript?
The YouTube transcript generator gives you the video in its original language. This page translates that transcript into the language you choose and exports translated subtitles — same paste, translated output.
“I dub nothing — I just translate the video, export the SRT, and re-upload with foreign captions. My Spanish and Portuguese watch time doubled in a month.”
