Description:
Is Spotify finally rolling out lyric translations? This Reddit user seems to 
think so.

FULL STORY
======================================================================Spotify 
could be preparing to launch its own lyric translation tool, as spotted by a 
user on Reddit The company has been testing the feature for years, and will 
follow Apple Music if it goes ahead with the rollout Subscribers have been 
asking for it for years, but some are concerned about the accuracy of the 
translations 

 Spotify and Apple Music are in continuous competition with one another as 
two of the best music streaming services . After Apple launched its AutoMix 
function Spotify came out with its own audio-mixing tool , and now the latter 
could be gearing up to emulate another handy Apple Music feature  lyric 
translations. 

According to a user on Reddit (see below), Spotify could soon be rolling out 
its own lyric translation feature, following Apple Musics free update that 
introduced translations back in September. 

Weve reached out to Spotify for comment, and well update this story if and 
when we get a response. Lyric Translations are rolling out in the US from 
r/truespotify 

If Spotify does roll out the feature it's likely that users in the US will be 
the first to get access (the Reddit user above is US-based). Spotify tends to 
release new features to limited markets initially, even if its at the expense 
of subscribers' patience. 

While this is a feature that's been very well received by Apple Music users, 
theres a question over Spotifys ability to produce accurate results. At the 
moment, Spotify uses the data company Musixmatch to power its song lyrics 
tool, and it's received plenty of criticism over the years for its blatantly 
wrong lyric readings, so the pressure is on for Spotify to deliver accurate 
results here. 

This isnt the first time that a lyric translations tool has cropped up on 
Spotify. Its known that the company has been working on its own version of 
the feature for a while, going back as far as four years, when a Reddit user 
noticed a lyric translation button similar to the one above. Spotify added a 
"Translate to English" button for non-English lyrics in some songs from 
r/languagelearning 

Spotify later addressed the status of lyric translations on its Community 
forum , sharing the following back in 2023: "Lyrics translation is a feature 
that's still being tested in selected countries. At Spotify, we're always 
testing new improvements and features to give our users a better experience. 
That's why you may have something in the app that other users don't or vice 
versa, or have a feature to try temporarily." 

Spotify hasnt provided any further insight to the status of its lyric 
translation feature since then. However, if I were to venture a guess, it 
would make sense for Spotify to wait until 2026, and roll it out once all the 
Spotify Wrapped craziness is behind us  although as mentioned, it's likely 
that only select users will see it initially.
