Many videos on YouTube offer Closed Captions (CC), and these videos may also offer translation into many languages. If you do not see CC at the bottom of a video, these services are not available.

“Captions” refers to the text that appears on the screen, usually at the bottom. These may also be called “subtitles.”

Here, CC is circled in red:
