YouTube Translation BETA

You may have noticed some new changes to YouTube recently that are in response to viewers switching over to sites like Vimeo who have true HD and just look so much better.  1st, all of sudden the viewer is 16:9, which is awesome as people shooting HD no longer have to downrez to SD before outputting and it makes the "watch in high quality" so much better.

  But, way more important than the 16:9 is the CC (closed captioning) options now available.  Take the most recent presidential weekly address pictured below

  I took CCs in Spanish and translated them into Japanese, had someone check it and it's pretty close.  It's not perfect but you can see where this is going, universal translation without software.  It's an interesting time where we know certain technologies we will have in the future (not the flying cars moon houses of the 40's and 50's futurists) and we just have to wait for the technology to improve.  I can't wait for the future!
