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.
