What's up guys! Alec here, and in this video
I'm going to be showing you how you can translate your YouTube subtitles.
So translating YouTube subtitles can be really beneficial
for your channel and your channel's reach.
And in this video I'm gonna show you step-by-step how you can translate your Youtube subtitles without taking too much time.
So if I go straight onto my computer,
the first thing we're gonna do is to go into your YouTube creator's studio.
Now when you're on your channel dashboard,
if you have a look in the left column here, or the left toolbar, whatever you want to call it, you want to click on "Subtitles".
Once you click on subtitles, you then want to click on the video you want to translate the subtitles for.
So let's just say I'm gonna choose this one, "How to add subtitles to LinkedIn videos"
And I now have the option to add a language but before I do that,
I want to translate my subtitles first. So what we gonna do
is go ahead and translate the SRT file.
The way to obtain this SRT file is by downloading it from YouTube.
YouTube before already automatically transcribe our audio into a subtitle format.
Now, what you want to do is you wanna click on these three dots here.
And you don't want to click on download straight away because
otherwise it will download it in a .SPV file.
What you want to do is click on "Edit on Classic Studio".
This will then take you to the subtitle editor here and you want to click on "Actions" and then
you just click on .SRT.
So now you've downloaded it as an SRT file.
And you may be wondering real quick if YouTube can automatically transcribe
my audio into subtitles for me,
why can't I just do that for other languages?
Well, YouTube can transcribe the audio into text for you and create subtitles for your videos.
But unfortunately it can't automatically translate that for you.
And once you've downloaded your SRT file, you want to head over to VEED.IO.
And what we going to do on VEED.IO is create a new project.
Now for VEED to work on a project you need to have a video in that project.
So you just going to click on "New Project" then you're going
to click on "Upload Video" or "Audio" and then we are literally just going
to go and choose any video we're going to upload.
But this won't be important.
Now once you've uploaded your video,
you want to select the subtitle file that you've downloaded from your YouTube channel.
So, here we're just going to click on "Upload Subtitle File".
Click on that,
going to download, choose the latest ones as we can see it's a .SRT file,
which is what we want.
This will then import it within a matter of seconds.
So if we check we have the subtitles at the bottom as you can see
YouTube has badly transcribed my name into an alakay instead of Alec.
That doesn't matter.
You can go through and correct it if you want and then
once you have two subtitles imported, you click on "Options" tab
on the top right here and then you can select the language
you want to translate them into. So I'm going to choose French.
For some reason they're not coming up. Oh, I'm going to choose Français, that's how we say French in French.
And then we click on "Translate".
And now in a matter of seconds, it has translated
all my subtitles throughout the entire video.
Now, if I go into subtitles I can go scroll down and see every single subtitle
and it's time frame and if you know how to speak French, you can correct it.
But once we've done this,
we can have to go back to "Options" and click "Download".
This is then going to download the translated subtitle files.
So I can now head over back to YouTube.
I'm going to click on "Add a language" this time.
Here, I'm going to choose French and I'm going to click on "Add" here.
Then upload the file and it's going to take me to another page.
Then once it's taking me to this page,
it will then prompt me with this uploaded file box.
I'm going to click on "Choose File", I'll go to my downloads select
subtitle which is one that's just been downloaded. If I put it in order date
there we go "subtitle.srt" has been srt file.
Which is very important.
Open "Upload".
And then once I've clicked "Upload" as we can see my subtitles are all here at the bottom of the video in French.
And that is how you translate your YouTube videos.
You can now save that and you'll have subtitles for your YouTube videos
in French or in any other language you want.
