Translate a Kick stream — while it happens.

Kick gives viewers no captions at all — in any language.

This is a rare case where there is nothing to compare against. Kick has no automatic captions for viewers and no translation feature, and there is no plan, subscription or setting that adds one. Meanwhile the platform is unusually non-English: Spanish-speaking streamers make up a larger share of it than English-speaking ones, with Portuguese, Turkish and Arabic close behind. So the platform whose audience most needs a translation is the one offering the least.

Built for streams that were never captioned

Extensions that translate a stream usually work by reading a caption track and running it through a translator. On Kick there is no track to read, which rules that approach out entirely and leaves the audio as the only thing to work from.

That is what Trippi does anyway. It takes the sound of the tab, recognises the speech and writes the translated line underneath — so it does not matter that the platform never built a caption layer.

Slang is where you want both lines

Live streaming is the hardest thing machine translation can be pointed at: fast speech, in-jokes, community words that do not exist in a dictionary and names of games mixed into ordinary sentences. Translation alone will sometimes produce a line that reads like nonsense.

Trippi can show the recognised original above the translation, which turns that from a dead end into something you can judge. Usually it is obvious in the original that the streamer said a game title and the translator tried to translate it.

The chat does not see it

• Nothing is posted to the chat and the streamer receives no notification.
• No account on Kick is required — subtitles work the same whether you are logged in or not.
• It does not work in the Kick mobile app; the stream has to play in a browser tab on a computer.
• The free tier gives 25 minutes of live translation a month, with no card and no account.
