Youtube is a global platform with an immaculate user base that comes from all over the world. Due to the global reach of its audience, YouTube allows you to change the subtitles of a video from its original sound to one of the most spoken languages in the world. This feature allows you to enjoy a video in your native language or in which you are more comfortable. Today we are going to discuss how you can change video subtitles on YouTube from one language to another.

The process in place here is quite simple, although it does require you to manually edit the subtitles of every video you watch. Here's what you need to do:
Make the selection and you will see the change take effect immediately. There used to be an option to change the subtitle language on the YouTube app, where you can change the language settings for all captions at once, but for the past two months, this setting is not working. You can, however, replicate the above process for YouTube.com on your mobile browser.

You can also make this change while you download the video. What should be noted here is that the process does not stop there. Once you have selected the language, you can either download a subtitle ".srt" file in that language or type in the subtitles yourself.
If you don't like how the captions look on your YouTube and want to customize them, here's what you should do:
Changes like this can also be made through the YouTube app on your phone by following these steps:
Another thing you may have noticed with YouTube videos is that the platform generates automatically. Speech recognition technology helps it to understand and input captions/subtitles on its own. YouTube deploys machine learning algorithms to create these captions, which is why they vary so much.
