"YouTube's automatic captions are now available in six additional European languages: German, Italian, French, Portuguese, Russian, and Dutch, Google announced today.\r\nAs you may remember, this closed captioning feature was only available in English upon launch in 2009. Since then, YouTube has also started to support Japanese, Korean and Spanish.\r\nWith the languages it added today, YouTube's coverage of European demand is now quite broad. Yet, it is worth keeping in mind that we are talking about automatic captions, and the result is still far from perfect, although it will likely improve over time.\r\nIn the meantime, Google points out that content owners can also improve the quality of their captions:\r\n\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;Automatic captions can be a starting point, where creators can then\u00A0download them for editing, or\u00A0edit them in-line\u00A0on YouTube. Creators can also upload plain-text\u00A0transcripts in these languages, and the same technology will generate automatically-synchronized captions.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nTo see those captions in your preferred language, all you have to do is to click the closed caption button on any video that makes this feature available. According to YouTube, it already offers around 200 million videos with automatic and human-created captions.\r\nImage credit:\u00A0Ethan Miller / Getty Images"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
