Translate Lyrics to other languages

So my idea is that Spotify should add a lyric translation to songs. For example I listen to greek music and the writing all in greek I think that Spotify should have an option to translate the songs (English) so I can read and understand the songs. I think this would be useful people who also lyrics to Spanish would want lyrics translated to understand the song. Basically idea is to translate the song into the language you know and understand the words in song. Like this if you agree and think it’s smart!

It would be really nice to be able to integrate google translate with lyrics to be able to get side to see side the lyrics in two different languages. Best regards !

The translation functionality is already available for certain users and certain devices.
However, for certain reasons, it is not available for all songs and all users.


These translations are also made by bilingual people and not by Google Translate, improving the reliability of the translation, and provided by Musixmatch. It's the lyrics provider of Spotify, except for Japan.

 

If you have Spotify Premium, you can use the Musixmatch app to have the translation available, if this is not available for your device through Spotify.

I've had premium for a little over a year and I still have yet to get the the translation feature. My apps are always up to the the latest versions and I know this is not a country issue as my friends (premium and non premium) have had this feature since rollout. I simply thought that the feature was delayed for my account but it's been too long now.

 

I have been advised to post this in the ideas exchange. But it seems lik I'm one of the few not having the translated lyrics(?) So I'm still not personally sure what the idea might be. 

Thank you for reading.

Many times we listen to songs in an unfamiliar language, the words already displayed in the app. An English translation will allow a deeper understanding of the words and the song for everyone. 

Isn't that part of the essence of Spotify?!

Yeah like, why no one put the translation on the web/desktop app while the iOS and Android app already have it 💀
>>>2 YEARS TO MAKE THIS<<< (translation was released in 2022 for iOS and Android)

 

Cuando escucho las canciones en otro idioma siempre quiero traducirlas, no obstante nunca me sale ese botoncito en la parte superior de la letra de la canción para poder hacerlo, a pesar de que yo tenga spotify premium
