YouTube is relying on you to translate the video descriptions

With more than one billion users around the world, YouTube represents 76 languages on its platform. And as it gets a bit tricky to find content in a particular language, YouTube is asking users to translate the video in their preferred language.

"Today, we’re excited to announce that you can now use Community Contributions to translate your video’s titles and descriptions in addition to your captions," YouTube wrote in a blog post. "This means you’re only a few clicks away from having viewers translate your videos, so more people around the world easily discover, understand, and ultimately fall in love with your content."

YouTube is basically expanding the community-contributed subtitles tools, enabling users to translate video’s titles and descriptions in addition to the captions.

YouTube also included a story of one such YouTuber, science vlogger Alex Dainis. According to Dainis, YouTube’s translation tools are the only reason she’s able to share the science that she loves on a worldwide scale.

The new feature will give content creators the chance to tap on new viewers that they were previously missing because of the language barrier.

YouTube has also mentioned the number of translation contributors, and its no less than the population of Djibouti, Africa. The number is 9,00,000.

The video sharing site further adds that these contributors "helped create communities on YouTube that go beyond language barriers. If you’re a creator, try Community Contributions. It only takes a few seconds to activate. Not only is it is a great way to reach global audiences, but it’ll allow you to make your community feel more invested in the process."
