Keeping in mind the multi-lingual society of India, YouTube has decided to take steps to make its videos more inclusive.
The video-sharing platform announced at the 'Google for India' event that it is testing a new feature which lets the user switch audio tracks in a variety of languages, as per a report by US-based tech portal TechCrunch.
"Video is a particularly effective format for sharing health information in ways that are accessible and digestible not only to a professional audience but to everyone. We want to help truly democratize important health information. And, we remain committed to working closely with experts in healthcare and investing in technologies that will enable them to create multilingual content efficiently, to reach audiences at scale," TechCrunch quoted Ishan John Chatterjee, the director of YouTube India.
At present, the feature is only available to a handful of healthcare videos, which have language options in English, Hindi, Punjabi and Marathi.
