YouTube’s auto dubbing tool now supports Hindi, French, Spanish, and more languages for creators

tech.hindustantimes.com:

YouTube has launched a new feature that allows creators to automatically dub videos from English into French, German, Hindi, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, and Spanish. Similarly, videos in these languages can be dubbed into English. This tool, which is designed to enhance the reach of content globally, is currently available to YouTube Partner Program members, primarily those who produce educational or informational content. YouTube plans to extend this feature to other types of creators soon.

To use the auto-dubbing tool, creators simply need to upload their videos as usual. YouTube's system will detect the language and automatically generate dubbed versions of the video. These dubbed videos can be found in the language section of YouTube Studio. Creators have the option to preview the dubbed content to ensure it matches their original message. They can also choose to un-publish or delete any version they find unsuitable.

When a video is dubbed using this feature, it will be marked as “auto-dubbed,” providing transparency. Viewers will have the ability to switch between different language tracks, similar to streaming platforms like Netflix or Prime Video. To access the dubbed versions, viewers can click on the gear icon and select an "Audio Track" option. Additionally, if the video has multiple dubbed versions, viewers will see an "Auto-dubbed" section in the video description.
