A recording in a language you do not speak is not much use to you until someone tells you what it says. The Audio Translator on File Tools Online listens to an audio file and gives you a translation of what is being said, using AI to handle the language work automatically. Upload your file, let the tool process it, and get a translation of your audio back. There is nothing to install and nothing to configure beyond the translation itself, you upload a recording in one language and get back an understanding of it in another.
Open the Audio Translator and choose the recording you want translated. Drag and drop it, or select it from your device.

Translating audio can mean a couple of different things: getting back written text that translates what was said, or getting back new spoken audio in another language. This page describes the tool in general terms, giving you a translation of your audio's spoken content, without committing to one specific output format, since the exact form your result takes (translated text, a translated transcript file, or translated speech) is determined inside the tool's own interface. Check the tool directly to confirm exactly what you will receive before relying on it for your specific use case.
Either way, the core value is the same: you upload a recording you cannot understand, and you come away knowing what was actually said in it, without needing to speak the original language yourself or track down someone who does.
Getting a translation of spoken audio comes up whenever you have a recording in a language you do not understand, or need to share your own recording with someone who does not speak your language.
The largest single demand for this kind of tool is translating Spanish audio to English, but people search for many other language pairs too, including French, German, Portuguese, Japanese, Chinese, and Russian, translated to and from English. The exact list of languages this tool supports, and whether it works equally well in both directions for each pair, is set inside the tool's own configuration and is not something we can confirm without testing the live tool directly. If you need a specific language pair, check the tool directly to confirm it is supported before uploading.
AI translation quality can also vary noticeably between language pairs, some are far more commonly trained on than others, so a widely spoken pair like Spanish to English often performs more reliably than a less common combination.
This tool works on an audio file you upload, it processes a recording that already exists rather than translating speech as it happens in real time, like a live interpreter or a conversation app might. If what you are looking for is real-time, live spoken translation during an ongoing conversation, that is a different kind of tool than this one. If you have a recording, whether that is a voice memo, an interview, or a meeting capture, and you want a translation of what was said, you are in the right place.
The tool accepts common audio formats such as MP3 and WAV, so in most cases you can upload a file directly without converting it first. If your file is in a less common format, run it through the Audio Converter first, then translate the result.
Getting a recording translated traditionally meant hiring a human translator or installing specialized transcription and translation software. The Audio Translator on File Tools Online skips both of those steps. There is nothing to download and nothing to install, whether you are on Windows, Mac, Android, or iPhone, you upload your file directly in your browser and get a translation back. For a quick understanding of what a recording says, that is generally faster than arranging a human translation.
Because the Audio Translator runs in your browser rather than as installed software, it works the same way on Windows, Mac, Chromebook, Android, and iPhone. There is nothing tied to one operating system, so you can translate a file on whichever device you happen to have it on.
