YouTube's audio dubbing tool translates videos to other languages automatically

YouTube makes it easier to understand videos that aren't in your native language. The video streaming site launches a new audio dubbing tool that automatically creates alternative audio tracks in other languages. It can take videos with English audio and dub these in French, German, Hindi, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, and Spanish. Videos in those languages will also get an English dub.

YouTube Partner Program creators in the knowledge and information-focused niches are the first to get access to this feature. It'll be accessible in the advanced settings. The feature will automatically detect the video's original language and create the translations for you. You can check out the dubbed videos in the Language section of YouTube Studio and delete those you don't like. If you're a viewer, you can check for the "auto-dubbed" label in the settings gear under "audio track."
