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 "CC". Choose the option 'Translate Captions'.

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

Accessibility

We will add subtitles to all videos on this website that contain speaking. However, we realise that this may not always be enough to get the information across. We always provide a text alternative. 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 you need.
