Google Translator Toolkit

This translation was generated automatically.

Hidden deep inside YouTube’s subtitle feature is the Google Translator Toolkit. It lets you:

• Upload a German transcript to YouTube without timing information.
• Have YouTube sync the individual lines to the audio.
• Use Google Translate to translate those lines.
• Play the German video in sync while editing the translation.

It also supports collaboration on larger projects. For a fee (about $10 per minute), you can outsource the work directly from YouTube’s admin page.

The result is an SRT file you can upload back to YouTube or use elsewhere.

It also works with:

• HTML (.HTML)
