More and more creators publish one video with sound in many languages. YouTube calls these audio tracks: the original voice plus dubbed versions, many of them made by automatic dubbing. On YouTube you switch between them in the player settings. When you download, most tools give you the original only. With AIOVideoDL you choose the audio language before you download.
How to download a video with a dubbed audio track
- Copy the link of the YouTube video.
- Paste it into the YouTube downloader and press Download.
- If the video has more than one sound track, a box named Audio language appears above the download buttons. It says how many languages there are.
- Pick a language from the list, for example Bangla, Hindi or Spanish. The page reloads.
- Choose a video size. The file you get is the picture joined with the sound in your language. The name of the file ends with the language, so you can tell the versions apart.
No "Audio language" box? Then the video has only one sound track. Only its creator can add more.
Download only the dubbed audio
After you chose a language, the Audio list also switches to it. There you find the sound alone as M4A, which plays on every device, and as Opus, which is a little smaller. This is handy for podcasts, lectures and long interviews that you want to hear in your own language on the way.
What kinds of tracks are there?
- Original: the voice the video was recorded with.
- Dubbed: a translation spoken by people, or uploaded by the creator.
- Auto-dubbed: a translation spoken by a computer voice that YouTube makes itself.
- Audio description: the original with spoken explanations for people who cannot see the picture.
The list shows the kind next to each language, so you know what to expect before you download.
Good to know
A dubbed track has the same length as the video, so picture and sound always fit. The quality of the picture does not depend on the language: you can combine any size up to 4K with any track. For the sizes see how to download YouTube videos in HD and 4K.
Frequently asked questions
Can I download a YouTube video in Bengali or Hindi?
Yes, when the video has a Bengali or Hindi audio track. Choose the language in the "Audio language" box and every download uses it.
Why is the audio language option locked?
Some sites keep this feature for members. Create a free account or sign in, and the list opens.
Does the dubbed version have subtitles too?
No. An audio track is sound only. Subtitles are a separate thing and are not part of the video file.
