The pain

Whisper only translates to English, limiting subtitle generation in other languages.

Who'd pay

Content producers, streaming platforms, video creators, and companies needing multilingual subtitles.

Signal that triggered it

"Whisper's built-in `--task translate` only outputs English — that's a limitation baked into the model by OpenAI, so there's no way around it from within whisper.cpp."

Original post

Feature Request: Subtitle translation to any target language

Published: 8 hours ago

A user suggests adding an optional translation step after audio-to-text transcription, using Whisper for transcription and then a local tool like LibreTranslate to translate the generated subtitles into any desired language. This is because Whisper only translates to English, limiting its use for non-English speakers. A clean, modular solution allowing multiple and local translations is proposed, with a Docker implementation example.
