According to statistics, about 70% of YouTube users are not Americans. Of course, the share of those users who do not speak English is very large. Trying to become even more popular, the service was announced by a video translator that works with about 300 languages, from Turkish to Tswana.
According to the developers, the new support service will allow watching English-language videos from a very large audience.

YouTube, by the way, includes two support services for translation. The first translates the subtitles using Google Translate (about 60 languages are available). The second service allows you to translate videos into more languages using the Google Translator Toolkit, combined with a video editor.
Now any user, the carrier of almost any language, can translate videos on their own using the Google Translator Toolkit, or request translation assistance. Of course, such a tool allows you to significantly expand the audience of potential viewers for video in any language.
By the way, the YouTube service will test itself in TV broadcasting in real time. Next month, the service will broadcast the ABC Recipe Rehab show.
Earlier, YouTube leadership began a large-scale project to popularize the service and improve content. For this, about 100 million dollars were invested, as well as several dozen (about 100) new channels opened, which are all sorts of celebrities.
And now YouTube will also show TV shows. So far, only one thing, but soon will be signed a contract on the broadcast and other shows.
