Spotify has established itself as more than just a music streaming service. Other than listening to your favorite songs, Spotify enables you to discover new songs, read the lyrics, and much more.

In the sense of discovery, Spotify is also a great platform for exploring music from different nations and cultures.

Thanks to Spotify's constant stream of new features, you can translate song lyrics on Spotify and take your musical journey to the next level.

How to Translate Song Lyrics on Spotify

Once you view a song's lyrics on Spotify, the lyrics translation feature will show up if it's available for that song. This feature doesn't cover all songs and languages and is currently only available on Android and iOS.

Spotify will translate the lyrics into your system's language. For instance, if your phone's language is set to English, the lyrics will be translated into English. If you want to translate lyrics to a different language, you'll need to change the language of the Spotify app first.

Here's how you can translate song lyrics on Spotify:

1. Open Spotify and play the song you want to listen to.
2. Open the music player at the bottom of your screen, and swipe the screen up to see the lyrics.
3. Tap the translation button next to share. You can also tap the lyrics to open them in full screen and then select the translation button in the bottom left corner of your screen.

Spotify will show translated lyrics under the original ones, and you can tap the translation icon again to hide the translations.

How to Translate Song Lyrics on Spotify With Musixmatch

Musixmatch is a music recognition and lyrics app that helps you find the lyrics of your favorite songs. Moreover, Musixmatch's FloatingLyrics can draw over Spotify and display lyrics as well as translations. It also supports more songs and languages than Spotify does.

If the song you want doesn't have translations on Spotify, you can try Musixmatch instead. Here's how:

1. Download and install Musixmatch on your phone.
2. Open Musixmatch and sign in.
3. Grant Musixmatch the required permissions. Musixmatch needs to access your notifications to know what you're listening to. It also needs special permissions to draw over other apps, such as Spotify.
4. You'll be prompted to connect Musixmatch to Spotify or your local library. If you're on Android, this isn't necessary, so you can skip it for now.

Once you're inside Musixmatch, here's what you need to do:

1. Tap on Open FloatingLyrics.
2. Go to Spotify and play the song you want to get translations for.
3. Tap the Musixmatch logo to bring up FloatingLyrics.

Now you can see the translated lyrics for your favorite songs on Spotify! You can change the language to whatever you're comfortable with and start getting the meaning behind the sounds.

Keep in mind that the steps above will only work if you're using an Android phone. If you're an iPhone user, you'll need to connect Musixmatch to your Spotify account and then play the song you want to translate on Musixmatch.

Then, you'll need to open the music player and tap the translation button in the bottom left corner of your screen. Select the language you want, and you'll see it right below the lyrics if there's a translation available.

Get Personal With Your Music

Spotify is always expanding and adding new features. In addition to reading the lyrics of your favorite songs on Spotify, you can also view the translation for the words. This feature is expanding to cover more songs and languages, so you shouldn't expect it to work with every song.

If Spotify doesn't have translated lyrics for the song you want, you can use Musixmatch, which has a more extensive catalog of supported songs and languages.

With these tools at hand, it's time to break the language barrier and enjoy music from every corner of the world.
