auto-translate
I think a lot of people might agree with this and I think this is a good idea but not sure if its possible..
But hear me out....
what if it was possible for all streamers having an option to have an auto language translate?
Pro:
- People that doesnt know how to type in english, will be able to type anything on their own language and then when u send it/ maybe before send it, will translate it to english.
- you as a stream watcher, be able to join other content creators chat that is not in english, you're able to see what the chat is saying. visa versa if people dont know english they will be able to understand the context of chat and be able to type back in english on their own langauge.
I dont know much about the cons with this. I asume it would be too big of a work to do so? or that it wont auto translate what streamers says into words (that would be awesome if the tecnology could do that but i recon we dont have that yet)
It would also make it easier and faster to react to any kind of funny, sad etc. of other moments instead of using other translate sites and react later and ruin their experience. It would help many more people to be able to interact with others and bring the community together I recon?
There wont be a huge language barrier between other nations and might help people learning their prefere language?
This would also be a good thing for streamers that struggle a bit to gain viewers to be able to get more into their chat and be more active in the community.
Thanks for reading this.
ps. I might find new cons or pros in the future but contact me if you need more information.

You can use browser extension Speech Translator to translate speech in real-time. Plus you can use built-in option in browser to translate the web page with chat. It is not very convenient to translate chat in this way, but it works.

Translation regulation should be determined by global standards. Translators and dictionaries. At the academy, we were taught that the more languages you know, the more you are a person. Now there are already special translators for this. That's why it's cool that you can type a word into the translator and get a translation https://www.translate.com/japanese-chinese_traditional Now an Englishman can understand a Chinese, and a Chinese can understand a Belgian. But a Belgian will never understand a Frenchman without knowing French

bom dia eu moro no brasil porem de vez em quando gosto de ver a live de alguma pessoa que mora em outro lugar do mundo porem como sou brasileiro e se for na live de alguem que nao é provavelmente o brasileiro nao vai entender nada do que esta sendo falado e pensando nisso eu acho que seria interessante a twitch ter um sistema de traduçao ao vivo e poderia ser um recurso bem completo com opções de escolher o idioma a ser traduzido opçao de ligar e desligar a traduçao ou em vez de ter que ligar a traduçao assim que a pessoa entrasse na live ela seria ativada automaticamente

While watching the live broadcast, I don't understand some sentences. I hope to add Chinese translation fonts to the live broadcast screen.

Hello, When is twitch going to have a translator? what ever language to streamer's native language.
It is a little hard when a viewer comes in that speaks/writes in a different language than the streamer. The streamer then has to take their time to go to google and see if they can translate the chat. And most of the time it isn't something civil. -

Poderiam ter opção de traduzir para outras linguas o que o Streamer fala (em tempo real), assim eles poderiam alcançar visualizações de outros países e usuários teriam mais conteúdo disponível, independente da lingua.
They could have the option to translate into other languages what the Streamer speaks (in real time), so they could reach views from other countries and users would have more content available, regardless of language.

I think there should be a translation option for streamers because if someone comes into streams and say a different language there should be an option to read it in English and when we want to reply there should be an option to type back in there language

A word translator that would translate voice into a chosen language. The streamer could have the option of adding an extension to their stream that would allow a viewer to select a language to hear their voice and speaking in. Example: Streamer speaks Spanish, but the viewer only knows English. The viewer could click on the translate button to reveal a list of different languages to translate the streamers voice into. This way the viewer now can watch and listen but also understand the streamer.

Hello, if this hasn't been already requested or considered. Embed a language translator to assist communication with streamers
Korean to English as an example -

Most likely the screamer will usually talk in one language. let's say there is both speech recognition translated to text of the native speakers language,. make that text readout selectable to be translated into other languages so that for and readers can read what the screamer is saying in comments in their own language.
and reverse it too so that chatters could chat in their native language and appears in the streamer's native language text
It doesn't have to be a very poetic translation just enough to get by. And foreign translations should have a flag by them so that the streamer and chatter might be aware that something is lost in the auto-translation

Hello, it would be great to have a button in the chat that would allow you to switch the chat language how is it done in google chrome extension. And if I, for example, go to a streamer speaking in another language, and turn on this function, I will be able to see the messages in my own language or some selected language, and if I write a message in my own language, then my message will automatically be translated into the broadcast language. On mobile devices, this would be very useful, since it is more difficult to use a translator on them. Thank you for reading this, I hope that translator translated it well :)

It would be very useful, because with the artificial intelligence advance is something easy to implement

I often watch videos in several languages, but I barely speak them. Are you working, or do you know any system that allows (as youtube does) a simultaneous translation of voice to subtitles in another language? -

For example im watching this Chinese Streamer play dead by daylight and Hes obviously speaking in Chinese, it would be cool if there were English subtitles so i knew what he was saying.Just like there's phones that translate Voice to text for people that are Deaf this could be a Good way for people with no hearing to communicate with streamer also!
