YouTube Your Community Can Translate Your Videos!

[User.123120]

Hello, all!

So Youtube has about billion users across the world, and not all of them speak English or the desired language which you use for your videos. It's one of the things that make Youtube great as anyone, anywhere get be a part of a community!

Youtube - "YouTube creators and viewers speak nearly every language under the sun -- 76 languages to be exact."

Now all these numbers are a great thing and more eyes mean more views and exposure, but with 76 languages this can also be a pain if you can't translate the content yourself! Luckily Youtube have a solution!

In 2015 when Youtube introduced community-contributed subtitles and other tools, it looks like they've been paying attention to their creators and community. Thursday, March 30, 2017, Youtube announced that you can now use Community Contributions to translate your video’s titles and descriptions in addition to your captions. This means you’re only a few clicks away from having viewers translate your videos so more people around the world easily discover and understand.

This means you and your community can help each other out! The community loves nothing more than feeling involved, so this opens many opportunities for the viewer and the creator!

Watch the video below directly from Youtube Creators, showing channels that have really made steps forward with the community thanks to this feature.

So what do you guys think? Will this be useful to you and your communities?
Let me know!

Hi,

Absolutely! The ability to crowdsource translations through community contributions is a fantastic feature. It not only makes content accessible to a broader audience but also fosters a sense of collaboration within the community. Imagine the diverse perspectives and insights that can come from viewers around the world contributing to translations.

For creators, this feature is a game-changer. It allows them to reach a global audience without the burden of personally translating everything. It's a win-win situation where the community gets to actively participate, and creators get the benefit of expanded reach.

It's a testament to how platforms like YouTube are evolving to empower their users and create a more inclusive and engaging environment. Anything that promotes collaboration and understanding across linguistic and cultural boundaries is a step in the right direction!
