Video Languages

What is the Video Languages feature?

Written by Support
Updated yesterday

Video Languages allows you to organise and filter videos based on the language they are available in.

If your content is available in multiple languages, this feature adds a language dropdown to your programme page, enabling users to quickly filter videos and watch in their preferred language.

How does it work?

Once enabled, the feature works in three simple steps:

  1. Create your languages in the CMS

  2. Assign those languages to your programmes or videos

  3. A language filter dropdown appears on the programme page

This makes it easy for users to find the right version of a video without scrolling through all available options.

Creating languages

  1. Go to ONE Admin > Programme Management > Languages

  2. Click + New Language

  3. Enter the language name (e.g. English, Spanish, French)

  4. Save your changes

Your language is now available to assign.

Assigning languages to programmes or videos

  1. Navigate to:

    • Programme Management > Programmes or

    • Programme Management > Videos

  2. Find the item you want to update

  3. Click Actions > Edit

  4. Scroll down to the Languages field

  5. Select the relevant language(s)

  6. Save your changes

How it appears on the programme page

Once languages are assigned, users will see a language dropdown filter on the programme page.

This allows them to:

  • View videos in a specific language

  • Quickly switch between available language options

Why use Video Languages?

  • Improve accessibility for global audiences

  • Make multilingual content easier to navigate

Tips

  • Be consistent with language naming
    Use standard names (e.g. English, Spanish) to avoid confusion.

  • Assign languages at upload
    Tag videos with the correct language as part of your workflow to keep things organised.

  • Avoid missing tags
    If a video isn’t appearing under a filter, check that a language has been assigned.

  • Keep your list relevant
    Only include languages that are actively used to keep the dropdown clean and user-friendly.
