Google translate is pretty poor in translation quality in general regarding Asian languages.
Describe the solution you'd like
You can use Deepl API to auto translate in addition to Google translate. This may require an API token from user (not sure).
Expected behavior
Translation quality should improve drastically.

Deepl is very expensive ($25.00 per 1,000,000 characters) so only way this gets implemented is if the user buys deepl and puts in an api key.
This seems very niche so if we do decide to implement this, it will be very low on the priority list.
I agree, it is expensive and niche, that's why I use my Discord translation bot with the same functionality.
Unfortunately, it has one flaw: youtube API does not have access to live chat messages for the members-only streams (and they do not plan to implement this feature).
