Subtitles

All of the videos on the website that contain people speaking will have subtitles. These will play automatically and can even be translated into different languages. However, the translations are automatically generated by YouTube, and we have no control over the accuracy of them. Some may be quite 'literal'.

Changing the language of the subtitles
Click on the bottom-right button. Choose the middle option and select 'Translate...'.

From the box that appears, you can choose the language to translate the subtitles into.

Keyboard shortcuts:
Turn subtitles off/on: c key
Increase size of subtitles: = key
Decrease size of subtitles: - key
Change background of subtitles: b key

Accessibility and Standards
If appropriate, videos on the site will have subtitles. However, this may not always be enough to get the information. We therefore also add text that details the information contained in the video. So if you have an auditory impairment, no headphones or speakers, or just can't access YouTube for whatever reason, you can still get the information.
