Translate your YouTube videos and grow your
audience globally with the help of your friends

by using YouTube’s “Request Translation”
feature.

To get started, visit your Video Manager page,
find a captioned video, click the drop-down

menu by the Edit button, and select “Captions”.

Click the “Request translation” button.

You can select one or more languages you’d
like help with translating. Click “Next”

to continue.

On this page, select a language and then click
“Share”. You can now send this translation

request via email to your friends. Once you’ve
entered in a friend’s email address, click

“Send Invitations”.

Your friend will receive an email inviting
them to help out. A link in the email will

direct them to your content.

Now your friend will be able to review and
edit to improve the initial automatically

translated draft of your captions. When they’re
finished, they’ll click “Publish to YouTube”.

An email will be sent to you to let you know
that your friend is finished. Click the link

to view the updated translations.

You can click the newly updated language track
to view your friend’s edits. Once you’re

finished reviewing, click “Done”.

Now click “Approve”.

And that’s it! Now your video is ready for
a global audience.
