💡 Explanation: "Multi-language audio" or "Audio dubbing" on YouTube. 

It allows subscribers to upload multiple audio tracks in different languages for a single video. Viewers can then choose their preferred language (like changing subtitles) and hear the video dubbed in that language.

📌 Where to find it: Viewers will see a language/audio option (like a globe icon or settings gear) and can switch audio tracks, similar to what’s possible on Netflix.
