Why should I translate videos to English?
A major reason to translate videos into English is that one out of five people on Earth speak the language at least at a conversational level. That means that about 1.5 billion people are able to understand and take action on your messaging in English, making it an incredibly large audience to expand into.
Further, search engines like Google don't operate in a single language, so having multiple language versions of a video — or multiple languages within one video — allows Google to index and your content in new ways and improve your search rankings.
What is video localization?
Video localization is the process of adapting video content to fit the language and cultural preferences of a new audience. This often involves translating subtitles, dubbing the audio, and editing SRT subtitle files for timing, minor inaccuracies, and line lengths.
The goal of video localization is to showcase your content to new regions, increasing your market reach. Localization gives you a competitive advantage by helping connect your brand with customers in new places before competitors can reach them.
Full localization includes subtitle translation, but also involves making cultural adjustments, such as using country-specific references, different units of measurement, and culturally relevant visuals.
Which countries have the highest total number of English speakers?
The five countries with the most total English speakers are the United States, India, Pakistan, the United Kingdom, and Nigeria:
- United States: 306 million

- Pakistan: 104 million
- United Kingdom: 68 million
