YouTube now allows you to Translate any YouTube video into your own language. This is a game changer for anyone speaking a different language or needing subtitles in their native tongue. YouTube will auto translate the video and present you with auto generated captions, even when the original uploader doesn't add the language you need. I love this feature and it's an incredibly powerful accessibility feature.

@craftsmanmm92 years ago I clicked on a short japanese video which already has both english and chinese subtitles, and compared them with thesubtitles for both languages, the results were shocking.

@IcyBune3 years ago Huge problem with youtube removing the public subtitle and instead leave the auto-translate
- youtube auto caption is never 100% correct, so it - google translate now is kinda messed up too, if a human that translate it, it will be so much better
- a normal person will add some creativity into their subtitles
- sometime youtube didn' t detect language right, there' s a common mistake when an english video can be detected as other language, like vietnamese for some reason
- the auto translator will feels very off
- it has many cons than pros
i think youtube removing the social subtitle is one of the biggest mistake they make, beside removing the dislike button. ...Expand 73
