What If... YouTube Music Translated Lyrics in Real Time?
Briefly

This case study explores the development of a real-time lyrics translation feature for music streaming platforms like YouTube Music. Recognizing the gap in user experiences where listeners often disconnect to seek translations, the project aimed to integrate translation seamlessly into the playback experience. Through user interviews and market research, it became clear that users desired an instantaneous understanding of lyrics to enhance their engagement and enjoyment of multilingual songs. A comprehensive PRD was crafted to outline the core experience and user needs, positioning real-time translation as a valuable enhancement in music engagement.
Users find themselves pulled out of the listening experience when they need to Google song translations, indicating a strong demand for integrated real-time lyrics translation.
Real-time lyrics translation would support multilingual music listeners by allowing them to enjoy and engage with songs in non-native languages without interrupting the flow.
