Summary

In 2023, YouTube launched its Multi-Language Audio (MLA) feature, enabling creators to add multiple language tracks that adapt to viewers' preferences, significantly expanding their audience reach. By September 2024, many creators, including Drew Binsky, utilized this feature, resulting in substantial viewership growth for dubbed videos, especially in non-English-speaking regions. Drew Binsky's dubbed content in languages such as Spanish, Portuguese, Arabic, German, and Italian saw up to 1 million additional views for mature videos and a notable increase in audience engagement for newer content. The use of ElevenLabs' Dubbing Studio allowed for seamless localization across 29 languages while maintaining the original style and tone, offering creators the ability to reach global audiences effectively. The collaboration highlighted the importance of accurate localization, regular releases, data-driven language selection, and performance tracking to optimize the success of AI-dubbed content.
