Can I Translate My Entire YouTube Channel Automatically? Step-by-Step Guide

Can You Automatically Translate an Entire YouTube Channel?

Yes – with a combination of the YouTube API and the Dubly.AI API, you can systematically fetch, translate, and re-upload all your videos.

Important notes:

• YouTube currently does not offer high-quality automated dubbing with lip sync.
  
• With Dubly.AI, you can perform full bulk processing – including glossaries, voice cloning, lip sync, and GDPR compliance.
  

👉 The full Dubly API documentation is available on request via hello@dubly.ai.
