Overview
- Only a limited group of YouTube Music Premium subscribers currently sees the feature as part of an early test.
- Tapping a new Translate button in the lyrics view displays translated lines directly under the original text.
- The translation language follows the app or device language setting, and there is no manual language picker yet.
- The system uses Google's machine translation, which can miss idioms or poetic phrasing even as it improves access to foreign-language songs.
- Google has not shared a rollout timeline or supported languages, while Spotify already offers translations via Musixmatch and some users object to the Premium paywall.
