Captions
Mixed-language captions, written the way your audience reads
Speech that mixes English with Hindi, Arabic, Japanese, Russian or another language? Get captions as spoken, all in the native script, or all in English letters.
Why use mixed-language captions
As spoken
Each word stays in its own script: English words in English letters, the rest in their native alphabet.
All in native letters
Every word in the language’s own script, English ones included, for an audience that reads it first.
All in English letters
Everything typed in English (Latin) letters, the way people chat: Roman Hindi, Arabizi, romaji and more.
Any script, one tap
Available for every language with its own alphabet: Hindi, Arabic, Japanese, Russian, Korean, Greek, Thai, Tamil, Urdu and many more.

FAQ
Mixed-language captions: common questions
What is the difference between the three styles?
"As spoken" keeps each word in its own script. "All in native letters" writes English words in the language’s script too. "All in English letters" writes everything in Latin letters, as people often do in chat (for example Roman Hindi, Arabizi or romaji).
Which languages does this work for?
Every language written in a non-Latin script, such as Hindi, Arabic, Japanese, Russian, Ukrainian, Korean, Greek, Thai, Hebrew, Bengali, Tamil and Urdu.
Why do I not see Caption style for my language?
It only appears for languages written in a non-Latin script. Languages like Spanish or Indonesian are already written in English letters, so the choice would make no difference.
