Tools Korean Streamers Use for Real-Time Translation
• ?️ Lingo Echo
A Twitch bot that translates live chat into multiple languages including English, Japanese, and Korean. Streamers authorize it, set preferences, and it translates chat in real time. It’s especially popular among multilingual or globally-minded streamers.
• ? LiveTL (Live TransLate)
A browser extension originally designed for VTuber and HoloLive fans, but widely used across Twitch and YouTube. It filters translated messages tagged with language codes (e.g., [en]) and separates them from regular chat. It’s great for viewers who want to follow along in their own language.
• ? OBS-Live-Translator (GitHub project)
A real-time multilingual translator for OBS Studio that supports Korean, Japanese, English, and Chinese. It’s still in development but aims for sub-50ms latency using Rust and CUDA acceleration.

Viewer Tips
• If the streamer doesn’t offer speech translation, you can use browser extensions like Maestra AI or Google Translate’s live audio mode to capture and translate spoken Korean in real time.
• For chat translation, LiveTL is especially useful—it filters and displays translated messages cleanly.
will give livetl a go and report back

No translations showing?
LiveTL relies on viewer-submitted translations. If no one is translating, the panel may be empty.
well that is severely limiting
