Translate a YouTube video to English, or to 34 other languages

The translator starts from the captions in the language the video is spoken in, and AI translates them paragraph by paragraph. Each paragraph keeps its timestamp, so a click on any line still plays that moment. Auto-generated captions often lack punctuation and contain misheard words. The translation adds the punctuation and fixes the obvious mistakes.

Each translation is saved, so the next person who asks for the same video and language gets it at once.

Translated subtitles you can download

Some creators upload their own subtitles in several languages, and the Language menu lists those tracks too. For any other language, the AI translation becomes a subtitle file you can download as .srt or .vtt.

Frequently asked questions

Is the YouTube video translator free?

Yes. Translations are free, with no ads and no account.

Which languages can I translate a video into?

35 languages, including English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Italian, Hindi, Arabic, Russian, Turkish, Indonesian, Vietnamese, Japanese, Korean, and Chinese.

Does it translate the voice, like dubbing?

No. It translates the words, so you read the translation or watch with translated subtitles. Some videos also have dubbed audio tracks in YouTube's own player.

Can I translate a video that has no captions?

Not yet. The translator works from the video's captions. AI transcription from the audio is in early access, and the page offers the waitlist when a video has no captions.

How accurate is the translation?

It is AI translation of the captions. It is good for following a video, not for legal or medical use. Names, numbers, and brands stay as spoken. Check anything important against the video.
