  5. Your friend will receive an email inviting them to help out. A link in the email will direct them to your content. Now your friend will be able to review and edit to improve upon the initial automatically translated draft of your captions. When they’re finished, they’ll click “Publish to YouTube”.
  6. An email will be sent to you to let you know that your friend is finished. Click the link within the email to view the updated translations. You can click the newly updated language track to view your friend’s edits. Once you’re finished reviewing, click “Done”.

And, the language could be changed by the user...
