YouTube Music is Testing a letter translation option directly within the application viewer. The function appears as a “translate” button and shows a Automatic translation line by line under the original lettersimilar to how it happens with YouTube subtitles. It is a logical step for a platform where K -Pop, reggaeton or Latin music coexist with catalogs in tens of languages.
For now it is a limited experiment: not all users can access it and, when available, the translation adapts to the configured language of the application or the operating system. In other words, it is not possible to manually choose the language from the Panel of Letters. In addition, the first notices that some users are receiving indicate that the novelty would be Restricted to those who pay YouTube Premium. Google has not announced a release date yet.
How the translation of letters on YouTube Music works
When the test reaches your account, you will see the button “Translate” In the Viewer of Letters. When touching it, the system generates a machine translation shown under each verse, maintaining the format of Original lyrics + translation. The operation is transparent: if you change the language of the application, also change the language to which the letters are translated.
There is currently no language selector inside the viewfinder. If you want another language other than the one you use on the mobile, you can Change the YouTube Music language on Android from system settings> Languages> Apps languages> YouTube Music and choose the desired language. It is a quick solution while Google defines How will the definitive configuration implement.
AVAILABILITY: LIMITED TESTS AND AT PREMIUM
The function is being activated gradually, according to the account and the region. Several users report an emerging notification that makes it clear that the translation of letters is a Premium YouTube benefitwhich aligns with Google's recent strategy to reserve exclusive functions for subscribers. There are also cases in which the option appears in some songs and in others not, presumably because of how synchronized lyrics are generated.
Yeah The button does not appearthere is no official way to force it beyond maintaining the updated application and check if the function appears in the coming weeks. As with other test functions by Google, it can be maintained as a pilot, expand or cancel, depending on the comments and the use you receive.
Competition: Spotify and Apple Music already move

Apple Music has promoted translation in recent months pronunciation of letters for Languages with non -Latin alphabetsand has also taken it to its application for Android. For its part, Spotify It has been leaning on Musixmatch To show letters and have translations in Some issues and marketsalthough irregularly and without a language control as precise as many users would like.
