Outstanding videos if you ask me

[@paruzzi-english]

Well, thank you so much!

[@ismaelrodriguez687]

A ver si podéis hacer los vídeos en Español😅.

[@paruzzi-english]

All our videos have captions available in all languages. So, when you enable the icon translation in UA-cam, and then in settings you may choose the language to translate to, Spanish. Hope this helps. / Todos nuestros vídeos tienen subtítulos disponibles en todos los idiomas. Por lo tanto, cuando se activa la traducción icono en UA-cam, y luego en la configuración se puede elegir el idioma para traducir a, Español. Espero que esto te ayude.

@@paruzzi-english Yes, but the problem with subtitles is that they don't let you see the video well.

[@paruzzi-english]

@@ismaelrodriguez687 I understand. There are many tools to turn subtitles into voice over. In the Google Play shop you'll find "Speak Subtitles for UA-cam" App, as an example. Once installed, you can turn off the standard English voice, click on the loudspeaker icon and choose another language, from Microsoft or Google AI voices. Hopes this helps until we add native Spanish.
