Systems and techniques are provided for an interface for multiple media applications. A list of features for a media application may be received, each of the features associated with a control for the media application. The features may be ranked. A template user interface including definitions for controls may be received. The definition for a control may include a position within a user interface for the control and a size of the control. Each feature from the list of features ranked above a threshold may be associated with a corresponding definition for a control in the template user interface to generate a translated interface. A feature that does not have corresponding definition for a control may not be part of the translated interface. The translated interface may be displayed to a user.
