Translation Channels (Subtitle Translation) ​

Translation channels convert subtitles from the original language into another language — for example, translating Chinese subtitles to English, or vice versa. They leverage various translation services to produce accurate, fast results.

Tip: Some translation services require an API address and secret key (SK). You can configure them from Trans Settings(S) in the top menu bar.

We currently support over 20 translation channels. Click any channel name for detailed setup instructions.
