Ok, case in point: I know the three dots on YouTube shorts get the Description, & invoke the "Don't recommend channel" functions. But I'm notoriously blind to things I'm not actually a) familiar with &/or b) looking for.
So TIL that YT vids (Shorts, at least) a) can have multiple audio tracks & that b) one of the language options is Klingon!?
This is the video that learnt me this. (Using the Klingon simply as add'l audio space)

@cavyherd@wandering.shop So, I'm pretty sure those are AI generated. Klingon is bad enough with the previous attempts at automatic translation, but I am absolutely certain I would not trust the slop engines to get it even remotely close to correct. I know there's been a big todo about people getting upset that YouTube is creating those alternative tracks without permission of the video creators and automagically switching which track the video uses based on the users language settings on YouTube, even if they don't want it to. @CliftonR@wandering.shop
