Closed Caption Translations
Can we add an ability for users to be able to translate closed captions? I recently added them to my stream to try to help a viewer who doesn't speak English and I could only talk to them through chat, but I was bummed to realize that he can't see them in his language.
I realize that it would cost Twitch money to translate captions through a server, but it also seems like such a basic thing for the user experience. I'm sure there are streamers that I would like, but I can't understand their stream due to the language barrier.

An idea if possible would be to add Annotations for other languages so you might have an easier time understanding a foreign language streamer and keeping connected in their chat.

To increase the viewer experience, you can integrate AI-powered instant translators into the twitch player and make them available to subscribers or prime users. for example, if we cannot understand a favorite or favorite broadcaster because of a language barrier, this can be a great solution. today there are great artificial intelligence that can translate from language to language instantly and we can use it as a browser plugin, but some errors and inadequacies may occur, I think you can offer this service to us viewers in the most efficient way by integrating this service with twitch thanks :)
