YouTube Language Filter

About

Efficiently find YouTube videos in a selected language, without receiving irrelevant, AI-translated results.

(Optional): Filter by 1 or more countries to help find a specific accent of the language. For example, Dutch from Belgium or the Netherlands. Spanish from Mexico, Spain, or Argentina, etc. 

Made especially for language learners who seek varied colloquial examples.

HOW IT WORKS:

• On YouTube, select a language
• (Optional): Select a country or countries. This filters videos by the country of the channel they were uploaded by. 
• (Optional): Select whether you wish to see videos published by channels without a country.
• Enter a search query
• When applicable, the extension automatically translates the search query into the selected language
• The results that appear will have an audio tag in the selected language. 
• Videos without an audio tag are excluded. Videos uploaded with a seemingly correct, but actually incorrect, audio tag the result will appear. 
• The extension saves the most recent language and/or country selection
•  In the extension window, you can select to hide other distractions, comments, watch-page sidebar, and homepage feed.
