# Multi-Language Twitch Chat — Made Easy

You want to stream, not translate. Universal Translator handles the languages so you can focus on your content.

## How do I translate my Twitch chat automatically?

Add a translation bot to your channel. It takes about two minutes, and neither you nor your viewers install anything:

1. Sign in with your Twitch account at https://www.universal-translator.io/en/for/multi-language-twitch-chat and authorize Universal Translator.
2. Open Settings and add your Twitch channel.
3. Choose the language you want chat translated into, usually the one you stream in.
4. If your chat is in followers-only mode, make the translation bot a moderator (type /mod and the bot's name in your chat); otherwise Twitch drops its messages.
5. Go live. Messages in other languages are translated in chat within a few seconds.

## Multi-Language Chat: Stress Instead of Fun?

### Translating Steals Your Focus

Every foreign-language message pulls you out of the flow. Instead of streaming, you're busy trying to decipher messages.

### Too Many Languages, Too Little Time

Spanish, Japanese, Turkish, Portuguese — languages you never learned show up in chat. Manual translation isn't an option.

### Complicated Tools Scare You Off

Bot setups, API keys, config files — many solutions are so complicated that you never even try them.

## Simplicity Meets Power

### One Click, Done

Connect Twitch, pick your language, go — it doesn't get simpler. No setup, no technical knowledge required.

### Full Focus on Streaming

Let the translator handle languages. You focus on what you do best — entertain, play, stream.

### No Installation Needed

Nothing to download, install or host: the bot runs on our servers — all you need is your Twitch account.

## Browser extension or bot: which do I need?

- If you are a viewer and want to read chat in your own language, use a browser extension that translates Twitch chat on your screen. Only you see the translations, and the streamer does not have to set anything up.
- If you are the streamer and want everyone in chat to understand each other, you need a bot. It posts translations into the chat itself, so you, your mods and every viewer can read them.

## What can Universal Translator not do?

- It translates chat, not your voice: there are no subtitles or captions of your stream audio.
- It works on Twitch only for now.
- Replying with !translate needs a paid plan. Incoming chat is translated on every plan, including the free one.

If you need subtitles of your voice, StreamTranslate does that and runs alongside the bot: https://streamtranslate.live/?utm_source=universal-translator.io&utm_medium=referral
