Quick Answer
Tournament organizers reach global audiences. StreamTranslate adds real-time translated commentary captions to esports broadcasts via OBS browser source. Under 2-second latency. No production delay. Supports 10+ languages for international viewership.
Why Tournaments Need Translated Commentary
Esports is a $1.8 billion global industry (Newzoo, 2024). Tournament viewership spans every continent, but commentary is typically in one language. Adding translated captions turns a single-language broadcast into a multilingual event.
- Korean and Chinese audiences make up the largest esports viewership globally
- Portuguese-speaking Brazilian esports fans are the fastest-growing market
- Translated captions reduce the need for separate language broadcast channels
- Accessibility compliance is increasingly required by tournament sponsors
Tournament Setup
Step 1: Create a room at streamtranslate.live/control.
Step 2: Feed your caster mic into the room. For multi-caster setups, use a mixer that combines inputs.
Step 3: Add the browser source to your production OBS at 1920×1080. Position below the gameplay feed.
Step 4: Translated captions appear in real time as casters commentate.
