Twitch streams
Translate a Twitch stream — live.
Real-time translated subtitles over any Twitch stream in your browser. The streamer sets up nothing, and nothing appears in chat.
Free to start · Works in your browser · Your audio stays private
Twitch has no live translation, and the captions it does have are in the language being spoken.
Closed captions on Twitch come from the streamer’s own software, and they are a transcript of what is being said — not a translation. Which means a stream in Korean, Portuguese or German stays in Korean, Portuguese or German no matter what you turn on. Trippi captures the audio of the Twitch tab, recognises the speech and writes your language underneath, live, while the stream runs. The streamer does not have to install anything, and nothing about you shows up on their side.
Any stream, not only Twitch
Because Trippi listens to the tab rather than to a platform, the same extension covers Twitch, Kick, YouTube Live, a rebroadcast on a fan site and a stream embedded in a forum post. If it plays in a browser tab and makes sound, it can be captioned.
That includes the parts of a stream that platforms never caption at all: the co-host on the other end of the call, the person in the game lobby, the guest who dropped in for ten minutes.
Speech, not chat
Trippi translates what people say. Chat is text and stays as it is — for the message stream a text translator is the right tool, and several exist. Keeping the two apart is deliberate: the sentence a streamer says out loud is the part that has no subtitles.
Captions appear a second or two behind the speech, because a sentence has to be heard before it can be translated. On a live stream you notice it far less than in a conversation, since nobody is waiting for you to answer.
What it will not do
- It does not work in the Twitch desktop or console app — the stream has to be open in a browser tab in Chrome or Edge.
- It does not translate the chat, the emotes or the on-screen graphics. It translates speech.
- On a VOD that already has a subtitle track, a subtitle translator will be faster and more accurate. Trippi is for live speech that has no subtitles yet.

Frequently asked questions
Does Twitch translate streams by itself?+
No. Twitch can show captions in the language being spoken, when the streamer runs software that produces them, but it does not translate a stream into your language.
Does the streamer see anything, or get notified?+
No. Nothing is added to the stream, nothing is posted in chat, and nothing about you reaches the streamer’s dashboard. The subtitles exist only in your browser.
Does it translate the chat too?+
No — Trippi translates speech. Chat is already text, and a text translator handles it better.
Does it work on VODs and clips?+
Yes, if they are playing in a browser tab. But if the video already carries a subtitle track, translating that track is the better route — Trippi is built for speech nobody has subtitled.
What does it cost?+
Free for 25 minutes of live translation a month, with no card and no account. Paid plans start at $6 a month for 10 hours — see pricing.
