YouTube recently added a new feature that allows viewers to translate subtitles for any video that already has subtitles in one language. I have been uploading videos with German and English subtitles for any video that is in German (usually stories and songs). This means that this feature is now available for any video on my channel that has subtitles. I would like to expand the subtitles for my videos to other languages, but unfortunately I only speak German and English, which leads me to how you can help.
If you speak German and another language, you can translate the subtitles for one of my videos to that other language. Below you will find steps on how to do this and a list of suggestions for doing so.
First, find a video that has subtitles, but not in the language you want them in. I chose my most recent story "Die Princessin auf der Erbse". There are already English subtitles, which appear automatically for me, because that is my default setting. I can click "CC" and turn off or on the subtitles, but for our purposes today, I need to click the gear to pull up the settings menu. From the menu that pops up, I can click the line that says "Subtitles".
Now I can choose a different language if I want to or I can click "Add subtitles/CC" to contribute new subtitles.
I will then be redirected to a page that looks like this. I can choose a language to edit some of the subtitles that are already in place or I can translate to a new language. If I want to translate to Arabic, for example, I would type "Arabic" and select it from the menu.
From here I can simply type the translation for each line that coincides with the other langauge. There is no need to move any of the subtitles or line them up with the audio. They are already set where they need to be. When you are finished with your subtitles, simply click "Submit for review". When I get a chance, I will approve the subtitles and they will be available to anyone who wants to use that language.
That's all there is to it. Now you can contribute to my channel and make it more helpful to people of all countries. With your help, I can teach the entire world German. Thank you for being awesome. If you are looking for a place to start with your subtitles, I suggest starting with my stories or my songs.
