# YouTube Just Added Something Wild for Creators

## Summary

The video discusses YouTube's new auto-dubbing feature, which allows creators to translate their videos into multiple languages, potentially increasing views and ad revenue. The creator, Matt Par, explains how to use the feature, addresses the need for translating thumbnails, and provides a strategic analysis of which languages are worth targeting based on CPM rates and audience size. He ultimately advises that for most creators, focusing on one language and selling a product is more profitable than translating content.

### Key Points

- **YouTube's Auto-Dubbing Feature** [00:02] — YouTube has added an auto-dubbing feature that allows creators to speak multiple languages in their videos, potentially helping them reach a wider audience and get more views.
- **How to Enable Auto-Dubbing** [00:43] — To use the feature, go to YouTube Studio, select Content, click on a video, and find the dubbing option. By default, it will auto-dub your content into several languages.
- **Translating Thumbnails** [00:59] — The auto-dub does not translate text on thumbnails. To fix this, download the thumbnail using a tool like youtube thumbnail downloader.com, paste it into ChatGPT, and ask it to create a version with translated text, then upload it back to YouTube.
- **The Problem with Selling Products** [01:40] — If you sell a product or course, translating your videos into other languages means you also need to translate the product, the sales page, customer support, and ensure your payment processor works in that country, which is often not worth the effort.
- **When Translation Makes Sense** [02:47] — Translating your channel is recommended for entertainment channels because more views equal more ad revenue, and you don't need to translate anything else. You can also remove links from descriptions of translated videos if you sell something.
- **Best Languages to Target** [03:00] — The highest CPM niches are in English-speaking countries like Australia, Switzerland, New Zealand, and Canada. Germany has 65 million people, but many speak English. Other good languages include Dutch, French, Korean, and Japanese. Low CPM languages like Hindi can get many views but generate less revenue.
- **Practical Recommendations** [04:09] — If you sell a product with translations, use the dubbing feature. If you run an entertainment channel, translate into top languages. For most creators, focus on one language and selling something within it to maximize income.
- **Future Predictions and Skepticism** [04:35] — YouTube may eventually auto-translate thumbnails as well. However, the dubbing feature does not translate text within the video, so creators with lots of on-screen text may need to manually cover it up. The creator pays people to do this on his translated channels.
- **Final Advice** [05:16] — To make the most money from YouTube, focus on one language and sell something within it, rather than translating your channel into multiple languages. It's possible to make hundreds of thousands of dollars per month in one language.

channel like this one right here, and then we switch our language, German for example, as you can see, the text on the actual thumbnails is now German. And actually run channels that have over a million subscribers that are literally

channels. Because if you're selling something from your channel, which I highly recommend doing, whether it's a course or a digital product, you would have to also translate that product into multiple different languages in order to
theoretically do that. Like for For my website here is on Lovable, so I could say make a German version of the homepage. And boom, just like that, I've got my website translated into German. But then I need to translate the course.
translate the entire course by using the dubbing feature. But then customer language, as well as customer support. And we need to make sure we're using a payment processor that processes payments in that country. And due to all
generally not worth it. And now of course some people watching in another English. So if you have a link in your description that goes to what you're selling, a certain percentage of those people will speak English and they will
join. But in general, I think your time is better spent just making new videos instead of making individual thumbnails for every single language with one you're running an entertainment channel, in which case I would recommend
translating your channel because more views equals more ad revenue. You don't anything. Even if you are selling something, you can always remove the link from your description as well for the individual translated videos. Now if
you were to use this, which languages should you focus on translating your videos into? Well if we go to the highest CPM niches on YouTube, as you Australia, these are obviously going to speak English. Then we have Switzerland
people that are in those countries that watch YouTube is only a couple millions, opinion. Then we have New Zealand, Canada. Germany however has 65 million them also speak English, so you have to ask yourself, is that even worth it? But
if you were to do this, the languages I would do would be German, Dutch potentially, it's on the verge of having enough people. French is a very good actually run a really big Korean channel, which is a translated version
Japan as well, that's a very good one. But of course the lowest CPM languages are going to be ones like Hindi for instance, which yes, you can get a ton India, but the amount you make from those views is comparatively going to be
my priority list for translating my does this mean going forward and what should you practically do right now? Well, if you sell a product that does have translations into multiple
this because this is definitely going to help your channel. If you run an this for some of the top languages that I just mentioned. But for me personally, I already have some big channels in other languages, so I'm likely just
they're getting a lot of views per month. And as I mentioned, some of them even have over a million subscribers. And going forward, what I predict is it'll get to the point where YouTube will automatically even then translate
your thumbnail for you in addition to translating text in the videos. That's makes me a bit skeptical about this dubbing feature is the fact that if you watch any video in a dubbed language like this, yes, the language is correct.
However, the text in the actual video is not correct. So, if you have a lot of so forth, that's not going to be correct. And on my translated channels, I pay people to cover those titles up with the translated text. But in the
that out as well. So, if you're thinking of starting a channel in a different it and just think about using the dubbing feature in the future because want to make as much money from YouTube as possible, your focus should not be on
translating your channel into multiple different languages, your focus should be on sticking to one language and selling something within it. And then or even hundreds of thousands of dollars per month, which is very possible cuz
you can 100% do that in one language. And so, I hope this helps. And if you want to discover how to build the best YouTube business you possibly can, my program Tube Accelerator is open right now only for the next 4 days until the
