This article will show you how to change the language on YouTube without losing the original language of the videos themselves. The first step to changing the language on YouTube is to empty your internet browser&#8217;s cache and cookies. If you&#8217;re using the YouTube app, you can do this by navigating to Settings &gt; Preferences &gt; General and clearing your cache and cookies.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Change_the_default_language\"><\/span>Change the default language<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are several ways to change the default language of YouTube. The first method is to sign in to your account on the video-sharing site and click the settings icon in the top-right corner. You will then see a drop-down box that says Language. From here, you can choose the language you want to use. Click the language you&#8217;d like to use, and the site will automatically switch to that language. Alternatively, you can click on the Language button in the settings menu and then select the language you&#8217;d like to use.<\/p>\n<p>Changing the language on YouTube is easy &#8211; just open the settings menu on the top-right corner of the page and choose a new language. All videos will then play in their original language. After changing the language, be sure to clear the cache and cookies in your browser. Alternatively, you can use the YouTube app to perform this action. Regardless of which method you choose, make sure to empty your cache and cookies.<\/p>\n<p>Another option is to go into the settings menu in the website&#8217;s footer and change the language. If you&#8217;re using a mobile device, make sure to choose a language that will be easy to understand. Otherwise, you might end up having a difficult time navigating the site. But luckily, YouTube allows you to change the default language of your website or application. By doing this, you&#8217;ll be able to download videos from YouTube legally.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Change_the_language_of_subtitles_and_captions\"><\/span>Change the language of subtitles and captions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You may be wondering how to change the language of the captions and subtitles on YouTube. There are two simple methods. First, you can use Auto Translate to convert subtitles into English. You&#8217;ll need to repeat this process with the subtitles. Alternatively, you can change the language of the video itself. To change the language of the captions and subtitles on YouTube, click on the &#8220;Subtitles&#8221; menu in the video&#8217;s settings.<\/p>\n<p>Alternatively, you can also upload your own files. The easiest way to upload subtitles is to go to the Video Manager in YouTube. Once there, you&#8217;ll need to click on the CC icon. If the CC icon is grayed out, you don&#8217;t have captions. In this case, you can edit the captions, if necessary. Afterward, you can also add subtitles to your Mediasite presentation.<\/p>\n<p>Changing the language of captions and subtitles on YouTube is simple. Click on the CC\/Subtitles option in the video settings. Select the language you want to use. Then, click &#8220;Save&#8221; to save the change. If you don&#8217;t have this option, try using Google Translate and watch the video in your native language. If you want to change the language of captions and subtitles on YouTube, you can also use Google Translate.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Change_the_default_language_of_site_text\"><\/span>Change the default language of site text<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re tired of watching videos in their original language, you can change the default language of YouTube. To do this, open the Settings app on your device and choose the language you want. Make sure that you&#8217;ve pushed the language you&#8217;d like to the top of the list. This will force YouTube to operate in the language you selected. Changing the language on YouTube will require changing your settings in other applications. If you use an Android device, you can do this as well.<\/p>\n<p>You can also change the language on the web version of YouTube. Simply click on your profile picture icon in the top right corner and select the language you wish to use. Once you&#8217;ve changed the language, the page will change automatically. In order to change the language on YouTube, you must have a Google Account. Sign in to your Google Account and go to Personal info. Choose the section entitled General preferences for the web and click on Language edit. This will allow you to select a language you prefer and add additional languages if you speak them fluently.<\/p>\n<p>You can change the language on YouTube from both your mobile and desktop computer. To change the language on YouTube, sign in as usual, tap your profile picture, then tap the language option. Changing the language on YouTube does not affect recommendations or trending videos. It is also possible to change your region. This way, you can easily find videos that are based in your native language. However, you should note that changing the language on YouTube will not change the language of your device&#8217;s settings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Change the Language on YouTube If you&#8217;d like to change the language of subtitles and captions on YouTube, you&#8217;ve come to the right place.
