The episode is on YouTube, the English subtitles aren't: watch it tonight anyway.

Episodes, clips and teasers go up in Turkish, Chinese, Cantonese or Urdu, many of them with no English at all. WatchTranslate listens to the audio and puts English subtitles on the video while you watch.

Quality

Better than YouTube's auto-translate in this scene

Same episode, same moment. YouTube's auto-translate works through the Turkish captions line by line, without the context of the conversation: here it turns the heroine, Dicle, into “Tigris”, the river.

YouTube auto-translate
Tigris, Tigris, open the door, sister, come on.
WatchTranslate
Dicle, Dicle, open the door, big sister, come on.
Dicle, Dicle aç kapıyı ablacığım hadi.
  • Translates with the context of the conversation, not one fragment at a time.
  • Works even when a video has no automatic subtitles: then it listens to the audio.
  • If the episode already has subtitles, it uses them: faster and more precise.
Made for binge-watching

Built for whole series, not single clips

Two-hour episodes, no breaks

Works the same on a 140-minute Turkish episode as on a two-minute short drama.

Pick up where you left off

Skip to the middle of the episode and the subtitles start from there.

Questions

What people ask us

Does it download the episodes?

No. You watch on YouTube or Bilibili as usual, so the views still count for the channel; WatchTranslate only translates what is playing.

What if the episode already has Turkish or Chinese subtitles?

Even better: it translates those subtitles instead of the audio. It is faster, more precise, and your minutes last five times longer.

Does it only work on YouTube?

No. It also works on Bilibili, Dailymotion, the atv site and other video sites, and on video files you already have.

Don't Pakistani dramas already have English subtitles?

Full episodes from ARY, HUM and Geo usually do: use those. WatchTranslate is for the teasers, promos, clips and OSTs that come without English.

Can I pick another language than English?

Yes, more than 70: Spanish, French, Indonesian, Vietnamese, Arabic and others. Change it in the extension.

How good is the translation?

It is done by AI from the audio or the captions. You can follow the story easily; some names may be spelled differently from one episode to the next.

Which devices does WatchTranslate work on?

On phones, the Android and iPhone apps. On computers, the Chrome or Edge extension for online video and the Windows or Mac app for video files.
