For the supported languages and language codes, refer to Supported Languages and Language Codes on the AWS portal. Transcriptions are automatically translated only to the listed languages. So, all videos uploaded while a particular set is active will have translations generated only for the listed languages. If more languages are added to the list, the older videos would not contain transcript translations to the added languages. If some languages are removed from the list, the translations are not deleted but will not be displayed on the interface. Important: This
capability is limited. By default, only two languages can be added on top of your
community's default locale. For example, on a community with the
en locale
and default setting, you may add here en,fr,de or fr,de
and won't be able to add fr,de,es. For more information about possible
updates, contact your account executive. Attention: If the list of languages is empty,
translations will not be generated even if the Enable auto
