A year ago YouTube announced the possibility of uploading audio from other languages when a video was published on its platform. In that way, a person who spoke Spanish but did not understand English could watch dubbed videos to that language if the YouTuber had bothered to create that audio track and upload it.
This meant extra work for the creators, in exchange for a great reward: reaching a much larger audience. However, only the largest had the resources to be able to use that tool, since it required creating the audio track separately.
He change that today reaches all channels makes it possible for anyone who uploads videos to YouTube to use the artificial intelligence to dub your own videos into other languagesmaking it possible for Spanish speakers to have access to their favorite English-speaking YouTubers, even if they don’t know the language. The creators will obviously have the option to review the translations and delete them if they do not like them.
This new feature has begun to expand into many channels of all types and sizesnot only in the largest ones, and little by little it will reach all of them. Of course, it seems that YouTube is for now focusing on channels that prioritize information. To use the new tool Youtubers simply have to activate automatic dubbing. When they do, they can either have it published automatically or require review before the audio track is uploaded.
As is logical, this translation is not synchronized with the movement of the lipsbut the truth is that the result is not bad at all, especially for a track generated with artificial intelligence. It is reminiscent of documentaries and programs that we watch in the original language at low volume with an audio track in our language at a higher volume. Of course, in this case only the dubbed track is heard.

The Free Android
For the moment, English-speaking YouTubers will see their videos dubbed French, German, Hindi, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese and Spanish. For their part, any YouTuber who publishes in those languages will see their video dubbed into English. For now, it will not be dubbed from those languages to the rest, so English-speaking creators will benefit.
To be able to listen to the videos in Spanish you simply have to Click on the gear icon in the video options bar and select Audio Track. The available options will appear there, among which will be Spanish if the original language was English.
