How to Translate Twitch Live Streams

Transtream turns Twitch browser audio into real-time multilingual subtitles so viewers can follow a live stream more easily.

Twitch is a trademark of its respective owner. Transtream and live sub are independent services and are not affiliated with or endorsed by Twitch.

What you need

Setup steps

  1. Open the Twitch stream in a desktop browser.
  2. Open Transtream and start a translation session.
  3. Select the Twitch tab or system audio source containing the stream.
  4. Choose the spoken language and subtitle language.
  5. Keep the stream audio enabled and adjust the subtitle panel position.

If captions do not appear

Check the selected audio source, browser permissions, mute state, and language setting. Reconnect the source after switching channels or reopening the player.

Important limitations

Transtream processes only browser audio made available to the session. It does not host, record, download, or redistribute the live stream.
