There are so many great YouTube videos out there but not all of them are in our native language. Viewing a video with subtitles in your native language makes it so much easier to understand, especially if you can’t speak the original language. Follow this guide to learn how to translate the YouTube subtitles automatically and contribute subtitles for other viewers of the same language.

0:32 4) Find your language.
0:34 5) If you don’t see it, don’t worry. You can get YouTube to do this automatically. Click on Auto-translate and choose your language. If auto translate isn’t clickable, first check an existing subtitles language and then try again. This should work
0:50 6) YouTube uses Google Translate to create the subtitles translation so it’s not always perfect. However, this is better than nothing and you still get a better understanding of what’s being said. And there you have it, subtitles automatically translated into your language
