Would English or other language support for YouTube video controls be useful?

[YouTubeNavi]

I run YouTubeNavi, a site that helps users find highlight moments in YouTube videos using timestamp links and playback tools.

We have started adding partial English support, but some areas, such as the video controls, are still Japanese-only.

Would English or other language support for these controls be useful for users here?
If so, which languages should be prioritized?

Yes, adding English support to video controls would be useful for a broad portion of users, especially since it improves clarity when interacting with timestamps, playback navigation, and highlight selection. It also reduces friction for users who rely on the interface more than the video content itself.

A practical approach is to start with English as the unified control layer, then expand gradually based on analytics such as user session volume by language, interaction depth with timestamp features, and retention after first use.

Thank you for your feedback.

I agree. I will prioritize adding English support to the video controls first, then consider further localization based on usage data.

Thanks again for the feedback.

I have now added English and Simplified Chinese support mainly to the video control area, including replay, mute, speed, zoom, loop controls, and related labels.

Example English video page:

6:27～ 【身悶え】Iカップ美女がボキボキ整体で耐えきれませんでした | YouTube Navi

Watch the best moment from “【身悶え】Iカップ美女がボキボキ整体で耐えきれませんでした” starting at 6:27, with zoom, slow playback, and looping.

Simplified Chinese version:

6:27～ 【身悶え】Iカップ美女がボキボキ整体で耐えきれませんでした | YouTube Navi

从 6:27 播放《【身悶え】Iカップ美女がボキボキ整体で耐えきれませんでした》的精彩片段，支持缩放、慢速播放和循环。

I would also appreciate it if you notice any unnatural English. I can also help check Japanese wording on your site.

I will continue improving localization based on usage data and feedback.
