Translations

This post was last updated October 20, 2022

Many of our videos have translated subtitles! Visit our YouTube tips page to learn how to see translated subtitles on our videos.

Subtitle translations are thanks to our amazing community! Do you know another language and have interest in helping translate the subtitles to reach others? Scroll down for more info!

We also have three dubbed channels where the audio is dubbed into a different language- more on that at the bottom of the page.

Questions and Answers About Translating Subtitles:

How do I get credited with my name as the subtitle translator? Or remain anonymous?

We greatly appreciate the volunteers from the community that have spent time translating the video transcript. On our Google Form (the link to it is at the top of this page), you will note that there is an option to remain anonymous or to be credited. If you wish to be credited, the form will ask how you would like the credit to look. We also ask if you would like us to place a credit in the video details (which you can see when you click "show more" under a video) or if you would like to place a credit line yourself in the subtitles you submit (at the beginning or the end), or BOTH.

How do I see what subtitle translations already exist for one of your videos to determine if a translation is needed?

Go to any of our videos on our YouTube channel. Once our video is playing, click the gear icon and click "subtitles" to see all languages that our community has so kindly contributed. If the language you are interested in adding is not listed, we are still in need of that translation for the video!

What has been requested directly for subtitle translation needs?

Please know, new translations in all languages are always appreciated and in demand. Below is just a list of direct requests from YouTube comments that we have received asking for assistance that we are unable to complete on our own. Have a request? Please leave us a YouTube comment on the video itself or, in case we miss the comment, contact us!

Thank you so much for your help, community! Looking for other ways to support us? Visit our support page.

I used YouTube's old community-contributed subtitle feature prior to September 2020, and opted for YouTube to credit my name, and now I don't see my name anymore?

We brought this up to YouTube that the names they had listed with this feature stopped appearing a few months after the feature was discontinued. While only YouTube had access to those names and the feature, please contact us as we can ask YouTube on your behalf. We also can manually type in a credit in our video description if YouTube is unable to restore it.

What about translating your comics or GIFs?

Translating comics or GIFs requires permission; we have to ensure that the translated comics and GIFs will not be used for financial purposes or placed in items that are sold. You can contact us here.

2. ​Dubbed Videos

Dubbing allows for the spoken audio to be presented in different languages. Please note our terms of use do not permit our videos to be dubbed by individuals/businesses/platforms etc.

However, we do offer 3 channels currently that feature Spanish, Portuguese, and Hindi dubbing using an artificial voice via https://aloud.area120.google.com !
​You can visit the channels shown below - and please consider subscribing!
