      I don't speak Mandarin, and there are no English captions.

        turn cc on and in settings set it to auto translate English, it works pretty well!

          Did youtube's auto translate improve? I always found it to be pretty shitty.

            In the last few years, definitely. It's pretty reliable for the gist of most things, but you'll inevitably always get those CC errors where it completely fucks a sentence up and that results in the auto-translation being equally absymal.

            EDIT: Since they allow creators to upload their own subtitles (and up until recently, iirc, allowed the option for creators to use community-submitted captions) I forgot to mention that videos (like the ones posted) where clearly the uploader has done some subtitling/captioning in their own language probably get translated even more accurately, since youtube's not relying on their own generated Chinese captions and then translating those to English.
