Translate your own channel, playlists & sections
You can add translations for your channel, playlists and sections. This helps make your videos more accessible to fans outside of your home country so you can build a global audience.
Also, when you update your channel name, it will not be shown in all languages unless you add it to the translation for each language. You can turn off channel translations if you want to be able to edit your channel in any language or update your channel name in all languages at once.
