Hello, new to the LR here. I’ve been very happily using the LR, especially for how a lot of youtube videos that weren’t currently available in my target language, aka Korean, have readily available human translation.
Out of curiosity, where/how are human translation sourced to be on the LR?
Hi @cheesebomber97,
Human translations are from the content’s translation source.
Meaning — for YouTube — the YouTuber that uploaded the captions/subtitles. And for Netflix, the person Netflix hired to caption the video.
For human translations, LR pulls from the existing material from a given video source.
P. S. I’m not sure, but I think if your video only has auto-generated subs from YouTube, then that counts as “human translation”(?). But, I avoid auto-generated subs for the most part, so I don’t know.

You are correct: When there’s no human translation available, users just get an auto-generated sub even when the human translation is toggled on in the menu.
Now I look at it again, it says ‘unavailable’ in grey next to the human translation toggle when this is the case. I must have missed that when I made this post.
Regardless, thanks for the reply!
