For many countries like Malaysia, there is a good amount of users preferring to watch content in their native tongue. Well, looks like YouTube is working on that and there's a new translation experiment being conducted as we speak.

According to some YouTube users online, they are starting to see a new translation option popping up on the desktop and mobile YouTube version. The translation seems to be automatic and so far, sources have seen English being translated to Portuguese and Turkish. Since it's a translation experiment, don't expect to see this new update so soon.
