What are Translated Closed Captions

Translated Closed Captions are a Bits-enabled feature that will translate your Closed Captions to a broadcaster-selected language. Once a viewer activates Translations in the video overlay, every viewer can see translations for the translation language the broadcaster has selected.

What languages do you translate to?

Captions can be translated into over 50 different languages, all you, the broadcaster, must do is select which language you would like your captions translated to.

How much does it cost to turn on translations?

The viewer can spend 500 bits to activate translations for your entire channel for the next 24 hours.

How do I turn on Translated Closed Captions?

Translated Closed Caption is a Bits enabled feature through the overlay extension. Viewers can do the following steps to activate translations:

1. A translation icon should be visible to the left of the Closed Captions visibility button, click it.
2. A sliding window should appear where a viewer can use a dropdown to select 500 bits to activate 1 day of translations.
3. After activation, when Closed Captions is "On" in your Dashboard, 500 bits will be subtracted from your balance and translations will automatically be turned on for a 24-hour duration.

How long do translations last?

When a viewer spends 500 bits to turn on translations, it will go into your balance. If you currently have Closed Captions "On" then 500 credits will be deducted from your balance and Translations will be turned "On" for the next 24 hours and viewers should be able to see them shortly after.

<aside> ❗ 500 credits will not be deducted. If you, the broadcaster, have not yet selected a language to translate your captions to.

Once translations are enabled, it will continue to remain on for 24 hour duration. For example, if translations are enabled on Monday @ 9:30 a.m., then it will remain active until Tuesday @ 9:30 a.m.

500 credits will only be deducted from your balance when Closed Captioning is "On.” So viewers can help you build up a balance for future streams to be translated.
