Twitch OBS Integration

StreamTranslate adds as a browser source in OBS. Your Spanish subtitle overlay is embedded directly in your Twitch stream video — viewers see captions without any extension or plugin on their end.

Sub-Second Latency

our industry-leading speech AI delivers Spanish translations within 500-800ms of your speech. On Twitch's standard broadcast delay, subtitles appear perfectly synchronized to viewers.

500 Million Spanish Speakers Reached

Spanish is spoken by over 500 million people across Latin America, Spain, and the US Hispanic market. One StreamTranslate setup reaches them all on Twitch.

Why Spanish Subtitles Transform Your Twitch Growth

Latin America is Twitch's fastest-growing region. Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, Colombia, and Chile are all in Twitch's top global markets by hours watched, and the Spanish-speaking segment is enormous. Spanish-speaking viewers are intensely loyal — they create tight communities around creators, clip moments aggressively, and are highly likely to subscribe and donate when they feel a creator has made effort to include them.

The US Hispanic market is also massive and often overlooked. Over 60 million Spanish speakers live in the United States, many of whom watch Twitch in Spanish. Reaching them requires the same subtitle approach as reaching LatAm viewers — Spanish subtitles embedded in your stream.

Adding Spanish subtitles on Twitch is one of the highest-leverage moves an English-speaking streamer can make. The implementation is trivial (under 5 minutes via StreamTranslate) while the addressable audience increase is enormous. Streamers who add Spanish subtitles consistently report increased follower growth from LatAm regions within the first week.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do Spanish subtitles appear on Twitch mobile?

Yes. StreamTranslate embeds Spanish subtitles directly into your video stream via OBS. The subtitles are part of the video — they appear on Twitch mobile, desktop, console, and TV, everywhere your stream is watched.

Can I target Latin American Spanish specifically?

Yes. StreamTranslate lets you select Latin American Spanish to use vocabulary and expressions familiar to viewers in Mexico, Argentina, Colombia, and other LatAm countries — rather than Castilian Spanish from Spain.

What if I already use a third-party overlay tool in OBS?

StreamTranslate is just a browser source layer in OBS. It stacks with any other sources and overlays you are already using. Add it as a new source in your existing OBS scene without touching your other setup.

Does StreamTranslate work with Twitch clips?

Yes. Since subtitles are embedded in your video via OBS, any Twitch clip made from your stream will include the Spanish subtitles. This is great for clip virality in Spanish-speaking communities.

How much does it cost to add Spanish subtitles on Twitch?

StreamTranslate has a free tier for testing. Paid plans are available at /pricing. The cost is significantly less than hiring a live translator and the setup is fully automated.
