YouTube is expanding its comment topics experiment to support all languages, making it easier for creators and users to follow and participate in discussions. The feature uses artificial intelligence (AI) to organise large comment sections into topics, helping users understand the conversation.
The feature originally supported only comments on English-language videos and Shorts. However, YouTube has updated its test features and experiments support page to indicate that all officially supported languages for YouTube comments work with the new feature.
Creators and users who have enrolled in the experiment can sort comments by topics in all languages.
How to use Youtube's latest feature
To participate in the experiment, creators and viewers must first turn on comment topics in the app settings of the YouTube app. Once it is turned on, viewers would be able to sort comments by topic to better understand the discussion of a video.
Creators have the option to review auto-generated topics and remove them if they choose.

The feature is now available only to a small subset of YouTube Premium subscribers and creators in the mobile app. Their availability would be extended by YouTube in the coming months, as it has tested this feature for almost a year.
Moreover, with comment topics, it tries to make improvements to enhance user experiences through AI. Comment topics organise comments in such a way that users would be able to easily interact with the material they are interested in.
Such a feature would also help the content creator to understand their audience and react to comments much more efficiently.
