I made this video to show how to automatically translate YouTube titles and descriptions using tools like VidIQ, which has made managing a multilingual channel much easier for me.

If you want to grow your YouTube channel globally, translating your content metadata is a smart move. In this tutorial, I cover how to:

  1. Use the VidIQ browser extension to open your video
  2. Click on the “Translate” tab
  3. Select the languages you want to auto-translate into
  4. Let VidIQ generate translated titles and descriptions
  5. Click Publish to apply them in YouTube Studio

This feature supports over 30 languages and helps your videos show up in local search results around the world. I also explain the character limits to watch out for, so translations don’t fail during upload.

Since implementing this across my videos, I’ve seen noticeable boosts in international impressions — especially from Spanish, Hindi, and Portuguese-speaking regions.

Are you already translating your YouTube content, or just starting to explore global reach?
