Closed Caption Writing by Vicki Kipp

Uploading Hmong (Daw) captions to YouTube

Hey, ho, this is CaptionBreaker here.

Made both English and Hmong caption files to upload to YouTube. YouTube doesn’t have a caption language selection specifically for Hmong yet. When I entered Hmong for the language, YouTube saved those captions as “Cantonese (Hong Kong)”

At the same time, if I upload English captions, and ask YouTube to translate them to Hmong language, YouTube recognizes “Hmong” as a selection and translates them, to the best of their Artificial Intelligence’s (AI) ability.
