Translation Channel functionality is about converting subtitles from the original language into another language, such as turning Chinese subtitles into English subtitles or the other way around. It can call upon various translation services to accurately and quickly translate subtitles generated by speech recognition into your desired target language.

Translation Channels

Tips:

Some translation services, like Baidu Translate and DeepSeek, require you to provide API addresses and keys (SK). You can easily configure these by finding the "Speech Recognition Channel" or "Translation Settings" options in the top menu bar of the software.

Top Menu - Translation Settings - You can configure API, SK, etc., for certain translation channels that require setup
