YouTube’s multi-language audio tool allows creators to dub their videos in other languages. The feature leverages Google’s Gemini software to replicate tone of voice and emotion, similar to the Voice Translate feature on the Pixel 10. It initially launched as a pilot in 2023 and was available to a small number of creators, including MrBeast, Mark Rober, and chef Jamie Oliver. After a two-year stint as a pilot, YouTube is now rolling it out widely over the coming weeks.
For creators, this tool should make it easier for them reach a wider audience. According to YouTube’s data, creators who added “Multi-language Audio tracks to their videos saw over 25% of their watch time come from views in the video’s non-primary language.” Jamie Oliver reportedly increased his views by three times when he started using the feature.
As for the viewer, this means you’ll have a wider selection of content to consume. So if you’re tired of reading subtitles, now you’ll be able to listen to the translated audio instead.
