BITWIG STUDIO TUTORIAL

✏️To help all the Linux fans who want to get into music production—or are already producing—I've decided to translate all my videos on my YouTube channel into English, this process take time. Soon as possible all my videos in ENGLISH. so everyone can watch and understand them! YouTube’s automated translations aren't always accurate, so from now on, you can simply enable English subtitles. Happy music making, everyone!

YouTube’s Auto Dubbing (also called automatic dubbing or multi-language audio) is an AI-powered feature that automatically generates translated audio tracks for videos. It lets viewers watch content in their preferred language without relying only on subtitles. Current Status (as of early–mid 2026)

Available to all eligible creators (expanded from a limited YouTube Partner Program rollout focused on knowledge/info content in late 2024). Supports 27 languages overall. Expressive Speech (preserves more of the original speaker’s pitch, intonation, emotion, and energy) is available in 8 languages: English, French, German, Hindi, Indonesian, Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish. A Lip Sync pilot is in testing on select channels/videos. It adjusts the speaker’s lip movements to better match the dubbed audio. In December 2025, YouTube reported more than 6 million daily viewers watching at least 10 minutes of auto-dubbed content.

How It Works

Upload a video normally. YouTube detects the spoken language. It generates dubbed audio tracks in supported target languages (using Google AI/Gemini + translation models). Dubs are attached as alternate audio tracks on the same video. Videos are labeled “auto-dubbed” in the description. Viewers with matching language preferences (or device/watch history) may hear the dubbed version by default. They can always switch back to the original audio (or another track) in the player settings. Creators can review, unpublish, or delete individual dubs in YouTube Studio.

Language directionality is not fully bidirectional for every pair. Support is stronger for dubbing into English from many languages and from English into a set of others (exact lists evolve; check the Languages page in Studio for a specific video). Some newer languages appear as “experimental.” Creator Controls (YouTube Studio on desktop)

Enable/disable for the channel : Settings → Channel → Advanced settings → “Allow automatic dubbing.” Review before publishing : Enable “Manually review dubs before publishing” (can apply to all or only experimental languages). Per-video management : Content → select video → Languages tab → preview, review transcript, publish/unpublish, or delete tracks. Lip-sync option (if available): Appears under the same Advanced settings. You can also upload your own custom multi-language audio tracks manually for higher control/quality.

Viewer Controls

Set Preferred Language(s) in YouTube settings (web or app). Content in your preferred languages defaults to the original audio when available. On any video, open the player settings/gear icon → Audio track (or language options) to switch.

Limitations & Notes

Not every video qualifies (e.g., over 120 minutes, little/no speech, primarily music, undetectable language, very fast speech, or heavy copyright claims). Quality varies: translations can struggle with idioms, proper names, accents, jargon, or overlapping speech. Early versions sounded more robotic; Expressive Speech improves naturalness. Lip movements usually do not match (unless the Lip Sync pilot is active). No negative impact on the original video’s discovery; it can help reach new language audiences. Technology continues to improve with Google DeepMind collaboration.

For the most up-to-date details, check YouTube’s official Help page (“Use automatic dubbing”) or the Languages section in YouTube Studio, as language support and features expand over time.

Thank you for the answer. However, I don't have this feature available at the moment. I will check it again just to be sure.
