Why do you need German subtitles?

Adding German Subtitles to your videos can help your content reach a larger audience. If your video is set in another language, German subtitles will make it easier for the  around the world to follow your video content.

German subtitles also make it easier for people in Germany to find your videos. By adding German subtitles to videos, search engines like Google can crawl the text to then recommend the video for related German search terms.

Why do you need German subtitles?

German is the 12th most spoken language in the world, with 134 million speakers around the world. Despite these numbers, many video platforms and creators don’t make use of German subtitles. This makes videos in other languages inaccessible to those who only speak German.

Adding German subtitles to your videos makes your content accessible to millions of German speakers around the world. Subtitles are also great for grabbing attention, increasing the chances people watch your videos all the way to the end.

As more people watch videos on the go, the number of people that watch videos without sound is increasing. A study from Verizon reveals that 69% of people watch videos without sound in public places while 25% of people say they view soundless videos in private places. Adding German subtitles can help these viewers follow your content.

German subtitles are also incredibly helpful for those who are deaf or hard of hearing. More than 5% of the world’s population suffers from hearing loss so adding captions lets you cater to a much wider audience with your videos.
