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!

"Hello! I would like to suggest the idea of translating lyrics into all languages of the world in Spotify. This could be a great addition to the user experience, as many people would like to understand lyrics in their own languages. By adding this feature, listeners from all over the world would be able to enjoy songs better and engage with artists more. What do you think of this idea?"

I had an idea to translate the lyrics as they go - simultaneity. Line by line, rather than word by word
Right after the line is sung, it turns into the translated lyric. I think this would help you learn the original lyrics and at the same time help you understand them.

The availability of song lyrics and the possibility of translation within the application generates a new ''feel for the sound''.

Therefore, I suggest that the App makes the lyrics of Brazilian and foreign songs sung in African languages ​​available. As an example I cite two songs: 1) Obatalá - a tribute to Mother Carmen and 2) Telejayi.

The first was composed by Carlinhos Brown and the second by Jupiter & Okwess.

The suggestion here refers to songs in non-commercial languages, however, with great meaning for those who participated. Because, all music has the power to express the soul of a person/a people/a culture. And the app in this way would be expanding the horizon of its listeners' feelings.

A disponibilização das letras das músicas e a possibilidade de tradução dentro do aplicativo, gera um novo ''sentir o som''.

Desta forma, sugiro que o App disponibilize as letras de músicas brasileiras e estrangeiras cantadas em línguas africanas. Como exemplo cito duas músicas: 1) Obatalá - uma homenagem à Mãe Carmen e 2) Telejayi.

A primeira foi composta por Carlinhos Brown e a segunda por Jupiter & Okwess.

A sugestão aqui se refere a músicas em linguagens pouco comerciais, contudo, com grande significado para quem houve. Pois, toda música tem o poder de expressar da alma de uma pessoa/um povo/uma cultura. E o app desta forma estaria ampliando o horizonte do sentir de seus ouvintes.

I love all kinds of music, even music in languages that I don’t quite understand. Instead of having to look up the English translation of a song, would it be possible to include the translation in the lyrics section when you swipe down on the album art? Perhaps it could be in a smaller font and placed right under the word being translated? It would encourage a more diverse taste in people’s music choices and many more benefits.

An AI-powered auto-translate feature that automatically translates song lyrics into any language while displaying them in the lyrics section on Spotify.

  • I use Spotify to learn new languages through music and it's nice that lyrics are included in the language of the song. On Android, when you highlight text, one of the options is to automatically translate that text in a popup window through Google Translate without needing to leave the Spotify app. However, currently the lyrics are not selectable in Spotify to allow that as an option. Instead I have to go into the app switch and the OS is able to select text it sees on the screen but it's not always accurate. Adding selectable lyrics would be great!

Add automatic lyrics translation. For example, I am listening a spanish song and would see the lyrics both in spanish but also in my native language (german for example). I think that would be a awesome way to learn new languages. Could be also the other way around. Listen a native language song and translate it in spanish.

A large portion of the platform's subscribers don't speak English, and even though we enjoy many songs, we don't know their translations. So, we often need to open a third-party website to check a translation, which is often not official.

It would be much more practical if, alongside the lyrics tab—typically used by people who want to learn how to sing the song—there were also an option to view the song's translation.

Although this feature may not be as commonly used in the US and other English-speaking countries, it would still be widely utilized by the rest of the world. And of course, the US would eventually use it too, as there aren't only songs in English.

Sou assinante Premium a anos e nunca consegui ver a tradução das músicas. Meu celular é todo atualizado e as versões do spotify também. Sempre vejo meus amigos vendo as traduções das músicas e eu não.

I think this is a great idea it will help with people learning different languages and with really “hearing” the music cause it’s not only sounding good your understanding exactly how the artist wants your to feel because you know the words!!
