English has always been the language to go when reaching out to as many Western Internet users as possible. Well, it’s even better now since YouTube offers a subtitle feature. So here’s an example. What about Top Gear in French, German, Italian, Japanese and Spanish? Just click CC on the video page.

Good news for anybody who has a hard time with English. When taking my experiences on several conferences in account, I realize this is a problem that several web professionals face. So start-ups, when you upload your introduction or promo movies, make sure you include some French, German, Italian, and Spanish captions as well.
