Absolutely a game changer for content, advertising, and cross-cultural understanding... and context collapse! This is something that many startups have worked on — but bringing this to market at scale, possibly using similar voice tech that's used for the Spotify AI DJ — will mean many more creators get to have their voices heard (and content understood) in other languages than their own... that is, if they publish on Spotify. 🔥

Really cool! I am wondering how well the cultural differences between different languages will also be translated. Really excited to try it out.

Super excited about this feature and its potential to bridge language barriers in the podcasting world. Congrats on the launch! Just one curious question: how does it handle nuances, idioms, or cultural references that might be present in the original content?

I right now have my German podcast on https://open.spotify.com/show/38... 🇩🇪 and the English podcast on https://open.spotify.com/show/7x... 🇬🇧🇺🇸 .. wonder how long this setup will make sense then anymore 🤔 when do you want to open that feature to all podcasts? Really interesting progress imho
