Question

I changed my language and it took me to a blank page. Nothing is happening. What happened?

Community Answer

It may have just glitched out, try to refresh the page. If you can't, check your anti-virus software (if you don't have one, get one ASAP because this might be a symptom of a virus). It could be possible it's just lagging though, if refreshing doesn't help, close out the page (and any others you may have open) and start over.

You may have changed the language. Check to see if you did this first. If you didn't change the language earlier, try going on the support page.

Question

If I am watching videos by foreign presenters, can I change the language to English?

Oscar Humpage

Community Answer

No, but you can still watch the captions. To do this, open YouTube, then search for a foreign video or presenter, then click that video, click Settings, then click Captions/CC, then set the captions to your preferred language.

Question

Where can I change the language settings if I can't understand the page?

Oscar Humpage

Community Answer

If you're in a foreign page on a computer, go to a web page written in a different language, then wait until the translation box appears, then set the translation language to English.

Question

I keep changing my language on one account to English and it switches it back to something I used at some point every time I switch back to that account from another one, multiple times per month.

Community Answer

Try using YouTube in Google Chrome, and updating your language settings for your Google account. Because this account is connected with your YouTube account, your new language settings should persist across both platforms.

Community Answer

You cannot translate user-entered text through YouTube. You may try to use your browser's built-in translator to translate all text on the webpage, but note that these translations may be imperfect.
