How to Translate a Video on Youtube, Easily!

Whether you’re planning to study a foreign language or grow your audience by targeting international users, you’ll need to translate the video subtitles of your favorite vlogger. This article will teach you how to translate a video on YouTube and add subtitles in another language – fast and free. You see, there are plenty of free tools to assist with translation, but most involve some initial setup time and often have monthly usage fees. Instead, we’ll show you how you can use Google Chrome as a translator in just a few minutes. Let’s begin!

Install Language Translator for Google Chrome

Before we can translate a YouTube video, we must first install the Language Translator for Google Chrome. Simply find the extension on the Chrome Web Store and click “Add to Chrome”. You’ll need to sign into your Google account to proceed. Once installed, the Language Translator icon will appear in the toolbar.

How to translate a video on YouTube with Google Chrome

Open the video you wish to translate and select “Translate from this language” from the Language Translator icon in the toolbar.

Click “Select Language” in the drop-down menu to choose the desired translation language.
Alternatively, you can “Translate to this language” by clicking the drop-down arrow again.
Select the language you wish to convert the subtitles to.
An alternative method is to right-click (CTRL+click on Mac) the video and select “Translate with Google Translate”.
Once the extension has translated the subtitles and you’re happy with the results, click “Select as Translation”. If a translation error occurs, you can click “Suggest Corrections” to help improve the translation. Click “Translate selection” to complete the process.

How to add subtitles in another language to your video

First, ensure the subtitles are saved in an editable format such as TXT, ODT, HTML, or DOCX. If they’re not, you can easily convert them using a free online service. Alternatively, check with the video creator if they offer their subtitles in an editable format.

Once you have the desired subtitles in an editable format, select “Add subtitles” from the translation drop-down menu. Click “Browse” and select the desired subtitles file, then click “Upload”. If you’re adding subtitles to a live stream, select “Add subtitles to live stream” instead. That’s it! The video will automatically display in the desired language.

How to make the video display in the desired language

As we’ve discussed, you can add subtitles to a live stream and video, but you may wonder how to make the video display in the desired language. Easy! Select “Display this subtitle language” from the translation drop-down menu. Click “Select Language” to choose the desired language, then click “OK”. That’s it!
