Video translator for YouTube: hear any video in your language
TranslateTube is a video translator built for YouTube. It recognizes the speech in a video, translates it, and plays a natural AI voice in your language in sync with the picture, with subtitles if you want them. It works on videos that have no captions, because the audio is transcribed first. No download, no upload, no waiting.
How it works
- Install the TranslateTube Chrome extension on a computer, or the Android app on your phone.
- Open any YouTube video and choose your language.
- Turn on AI dubbing, subtitles, or both. Pick a male or female voice.
- Press play. The translation starts within seconds and stays in sync with the video.
What you get
- AI dubbing: a natural male or female voice speaks the translation over the video. Switch back to the original audio at any time.
- Translated subtitles: synced to the speech, alone or together with the dub.
- 33+ languages: English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Italian, Dutch, Polish, Czech, Slovak, Slovenian, Serbian, Romanian, Hungarian, Finnish, Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, Icelandic, Catalan, Welsh, Luxembourgish, Latvian, Georgian, Turkish, Russian, Ukrainian, Arabic, Persian, Hindi, Malayalam, Nepali, Vietnamese, Chinese, Swahili.
- Works without captions: speech recognition means any YouTube video can be translated, not only ones with a subtitle track.
- Desktop and phone: Chrome extension and Android app, one subscription for both.
Free to use
The free mode has no minute limit and no daily cap. The only restriction is on videos longer than three hours. Premium adds higher-quality voices. One subscription works in the extension and the app.
Videos that are not on YouTube
TranslateTube currently works with YouTube videos. For a video file or a clip on another site, upload it to YouTube as unlisted (if you have the right to) and translate it the same way. Support for more sources is planned. See how to translate a video for every option.
