So.
I clicked on a YouTube auto-dubbed video. And let me say it's really odd.
Like... it makes sense. It's like Sub vs. Dub for anime people. But the automation makes it feel like... I don't know... less authentic in some way. I can't quite put my finger on why this feels odd.
Maybe I can describe it like bad Computer Generated Imagery. It's good enough to the point where I can believe the actual video creator would put it as an Audio Track... but the quality doesn't align with the actual video part of the video. If a video creator were to remove the track and I were to view it in it's original translation but with captions, I would enjoy the video more. In fact, I can change it to the original audio track. I would say it's better with subtitles and auto-translate.
Wait! The auto-dub is making the same mistakes that the translated captions are having. Could audio-only people be mistaking what the original creator said because they didn't see the image portion of the video?
It's not all bad though. It's a good gateway for other people to watch content that isn't their sole language. Hell, maybe it might encourage people to be multilingual.

Just a thought, from a knuckle-dragging biology scientist. TL;DR: I believe there is scope to make the hosting of a peertube instance even more lightweight in the future.
I read some time ago of people using #webAssembly to transcode video in a user's web-browser. https://blog.scottlogic.com/2020/11/23/ffmpeg-webassembly.html
Since then, I believe #WebGPU has done/is doing some clever things to improve the browser's access to the device's GPU.
I have not seen any #peertube capability that offloads video transcoding to the user in this way.
I imagine, though, that this would align well with peertube's agenda of lowering the bar to entry into web-video hosting, so I cannot help but think that this will come in time.
My own interest is seeing a #Piefed (activitypub) instance whose web-pages could #autotranslate posts into the user's own language using the user's own processing power... One day, maybe!
Thank you again for all your hard work; it is an inspiration.

English world "stool" translated using "shitty" translator into Estonian...
Whist watching an ILY:1 busking video, I was reminded of the shortcomings of automated translation.
Es hat viel zu lange gedauert, bis ich begriffen habe, warum das Spiel einen Button "Nah dran" hat...
Non-Chinese readers:
I need you help.
I will write two same sentence below, one in Simple Chinese, another in Traditional Chinese. Please click your auto translation button and tell me which one is successfully translated, or if you can/can't see the translation button. Thank you.
Simple Chinese: 我喜欢所有猫科动物。
Traditional Chinese: 我喜歡所有貓科動物。

BTW - If you would like non-Chinese readers to be able to read your posts then may I suggest setting your local language correctly.

I would love to opt-out of #MachineTranslation for stuff I write in #Icelandic. It simply doesn't work. For larger languages it makes frequent mistakes. For smaller languages it can garble the meaning completely. It has no sense of nuance, subtlety or humor.
It is alarming how many people think they can just #AutoTranslate anything.
Nein, #unicodeTable, »figure« heißt hier nicht »Abbildung«.
Der figure dash ist für Zahlen. So breit wie eine table figure, d.h. eine der dicktengleichen Ziffern einer Schrift.

@nielspflaeging @peterproell @tporath @silkehermann Excellent point, I forgot #YouTube could do #AutoTranslate. I just turned it on. Thanks.

@GrumpyMonoped wouldn't #autotranslate be a solution?

Would you like to have an easy-to-use docker container to auto-translate webpages into a desired language you can specify with DeepL Pro?
If so, what features would be necessary to make it useful for you and make it possible to integrate it into your workflow? Please answer as comment
Like output format?
Upload to certain storages?

Ja, LoL ey!
Ne gute Idee für die #Klima|wende wäre ein Klimaticket.

Looking forward to an #autotranslate feature so I can understand the #local timeline
