New on Our YouTube Channel: Language Playlists
As you probably know, most of the videos in our YouTube Channel have formatted subtitles available in Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Chinese, Japanese, and Filipino. You can also get unformatted subtitles (without punctuation, editing improvements, etc.) for any of the 100 or so languages supported by Google Translate.
Recently we have taken language support a step further, by introducing playlists for the following languages:
- Spanish—https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLcmMtvg9fbindbLxhD03tdq3oZ2HdYIUn
- French—https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLcmMtvg9fbimq0zAp1ZyYXvMSPpLFkGF7
- German—https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLcmMtvg9fbinEvJX3BB8_aJDV8_fR0ObW
- Italian—https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLcmMtvg9fbikqTn3I7-wBrFqTbiqsR_GT
- Portuguese—https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLcmMtvg9fbilYtIOygewgtW3mzOITzyWI
Each playlist currently has about five videos, with more being planned in the future. The videos in these playlists have on-screen text that is all in the native language. If narration is included, it is provided in the native language as well.
Producing videos in multiple languages helps us fulfill an important part of our Mission Statement, to “greatly increase the number of people actively involved in family history worldwide …”
