## About

YouTube Translate is a consumer mobile app (not a website) that turns any YouTube link into text. Paste a URL, get back: full subtitles with timestamps, an AI-written summary, a translation into your chosen language, and flashcards generated from the transcript. Everything works offline once fetched. Available natively on iOS (App Store) and Android (Google Play). The app's interface itself is localized into 30 languages.

Key facts:

- Video length limit: AI processing accepts videos up to 1 hour (2 hours on the automatic
  fallback used for videos with no captions). Reading existing captions is not length-capped.
- Translation languages: 134+
- App interface languages: 30
- AI provider: Google Gemini (model rotation kept current)

## Common questions

- Is it free? — Subtitles and transcripts from captioned videos are free and unlimited. The AI features require Premium, one subscription covering both platforms.
- Which videos work? — Any public YouTube video. Videos with no captions and no audio that the AI can transcribe will return no result.
- Can I export? — Yes, as PDF.
- Does it work offline? — Once a transcript / translation / summary is fetched, yes.
- Does the app store my videos? — No. We cache the generated *text* (transcript, summary) for performance + cost — never the video itself.
