We often come across some interesting videos on YouTube, but due to language barriers, we may not understand them or the subtitles translation feature of YouTube may not be very effective. Today, I will teach you a method that can generate subtitles for YouTube videos and translate them into your native language with excellent results (based on ChatGPT4+Whisper fine-tuning).

Get the URL of a YouTube video.

The first step is, of course, to obtain the video URL from YouTube.
The format of the video URL is:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v={code}
{code}Representative video ID.
For example:

z1iF1c8w5Lg is the video ID.
 
This type of URL suffix with list=xxxx is actually a list URL instead of a video URL. Video URLs can only have
v=xxxxx

Next, paste the source URL (https://twitter.com/YouTubeJapan/status/1777638334325559553) into the designated field.
 
Select the language you want to translate into at Target Language.
 
If you need to export the video with hard subtitles for downloading, you can open the "Export to Video with Hardsubs" switch.
Then just click OK.
 

Preview video / edit subtitles
