💡 Why You Can’t Always Rely on YouTube CC

Many YouTube videos — especially music, news, or international content — don’t have closed captions (CC) enabled.

That means YouTube’s built‑in “Auto Translate” feature simply won’t work.

That’s where TranslateMom comes in — it automatically transcribes and translates the audio itself, even if the video has no subtitles.

You'll need either a direct YouTube video file or the YouTube video link (URL). If you’re using a link, TranslateMom will handle the conversion automatically.

🌐 Step 2: Upload It to TranslateMom

  • Go to translate.mom and sign in
  • Tap “New Task” → “Upload Video”
  • Paste your YouTube link or drag in the file
  • Choose the source media language in “Source Language” section
  • Choose “English” or your desired langauge as the target language
  • Click “Translate” or “Transcribe”.

⚙️ Step 3: Let AI Transcribe & Translate Automatically

Once uploaded, TranslateMom transcribes the spoken audio, translates it into English, and generates downloadable subtitles (.SRT, .VTT, .TXT, .ASS). No captions needed — it works directly from sound .

🎨 Step 4: Download or Edit Your Translated Video

After processing, you can download the translated subtitles or click "Open Editor" to tweak translations before export. You can also create hard-subbed videos for sharing.

🛍 Bonus Tip: Works for Any Language

TranslateMom supports 100+ languages, from Japanese to Spanish to Hindi.

So whether it’s a K‑drama clip or a TED talk, you can instantly translate it into fluent English.
