For example, if your default language on YouTube is English and you come across comments in other languages, you will see the ‘Translate in English’ option for you to decipher the comment. This option is placed in addition to the like, dislike, and reply options in the comment box.
This feature will allow people to communicate more with various communities on YouTube with a simple click. There’s support for 100 languages such as Spanish, Portuguese, Deutsch, French, Bahasa, and more.
It is revealed that the feature needs to be enabled each time you want to translate a comment and won’t translate comments in other languages automatically.
In addition to this, YouTube recently introduced a new feature that translates titles and descriptions of a plethora of videos automatically, that too in multiple languages. This feature helps people browse more content, which thus, lets them get access to a variety of content that’s not in their language. This is a part of YouTube’s wider aim to expand its global reach. The feature is available for both YouTube’s web and app versions.
