### 00:00 Open the tool

Want to read a video's transcript in another language? Here's how to translate it with Transcript. Open the Video Translator at transcript.im. You'll need to be signed in to translate.

### 00:15 Paste a video link

Paste a link to the video, and click Translate. The translation opens next to the original transcript, line by line, with the same timestamps.

### 00:32 Pick another language

To read it in another language, click Change language on the right, and pick one. Here, we choose Spanish. Now every line has its Spanish version right beside it. You can keep both side by side, or show only the translation. Scroll down, and every line of the video is there in Spanish.

Export gives you the text as a file: plain text, subtitles, JSON, or Markdown. And the Transcript tab still has the original, whenever you need it. So, paste a link, translate it, and switch languages whenever you like.
