Transcripts of YouTube videos in other languages
A WithTranscript transcript is in the language the video's captions are in, usually the language spoken. WithTranscript doesn't translate. If you need it in another language, copy the transcript and ask an AI assistant to translate it, keeping the timestamps. Part of getting a YouTube transcript.
Which captions are used
Transcripts are built from the video's YouTube captions in its original language: either subtitles the creator uploaded or YouTube's automatic captions. The copied text notes the language at the top when it's known.
Translating it yourself
Press Copy transcript and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini with a request like:
Translate this transcript into English. Keep the Markdown,
the chapter headings and every [m:ss] timestamp as they are.Keeping the timestamps means you can still find any translated line in the original video. For long videos, translate a chapter or two at a time. More prompts: prompts for YouTube transcripts.
Accuracy
Automatic captions are weaker on names, technical terms and heavily accented or overlapping speech, in any language, and a transcript built from them inherits that. Click a line to hear it before you rely on it.
