I'm certain it boils down to money. Someone like you (fluently bilingual) would provide the best translation but also the costliest. Every other option is cheaper, and Youtube will strive for the cheapest available.
Google Translate and Gemini are essentially free to Youtube, so why not?
- tavavex 1y agoThe crazy part isn't that the feature exists - I'm sure YouTube wants to make foreign content available to people who don't speak that language, and of course they can't manually translate every video in the world - it's that it's mandatory.
- torben-friis 1y agoI would buy this argument, except the cheapest thing for them would be to offer me the regular original experience in English, which is always my preferred option (maybe with some optional subs once in a blue moon, for thick accents and the like). It’s pretty much impossible to set this preference the moment you have _something_ (a location, a keyboard, whatever) not set to the American default. And even if you do, it would then mangle Spanish content (or whatever your other language is)
