As far as availability is concerned, Google said that it will start rolling out this feature on in beta starting 2023.
Multi-lingual health content on YouTube
At the event, Google also announced a new feature for content creators making health videos to offer multi-lingual content within the same video, which in turn will enable users to watch a video in the language of their choice. “To make it easy for viewers to discover and consume content in a language they prefer, YouTube is also testing the ability to have a single video with multiple audio tracks across different languages,” Google wrote in a blog post.
“This feature can help viewers across India’s diverse linguistic landscape to find trusted health content, that may have otherwise been inaccessible, by simply choosing between various language options within a video,” the company added.
Aloud
Google also shared details of a new AI/ML product incubated within Google that will make it easy for content creators to dub a video in a different language by transcribing, translating and dubbing original content, in very little time and at no additional cost. At the moment, this product is available to a select group of hospital as part of an early access program to generate local language dubs on important health related videos and make that information more easily accessible.
“YouTube is piloting an AI-enabled solution, Aloud, that will allow a small group of healthcare providers to simplify the process of dubbing and creating content that supports uploading a single video with multiple audio tracks,” Google wrote.
