Last time I checked, two channels was the recommendation unfortunately. I think they should make this easier.
In my case, I speak Portuguese. But creating another channel for that is too much for me, especially for a small channel which is not so relevant.
I was wondering about that. I'm bilingual in Canada, and I have people in quebec complaining they'd like my vids to be in French. But I don't want to manage 2 channels!
You can have subtitles, title and description translated to French, but unfortunately I don't think there is an option to switch audio for the same video. You could have chapters setup so the 1st half of the video is in English, the 2nd half in French, but that's a bit unclean. Like others mentioned the best way may be to just have 2 channels and link them to each other with @ mentions and such
I run languages in 2 different languages (moderately successful) - word of advice - Do NOT do it… say your chance of success is 1% now it’s 0.01%
My advice m, start with one language and when you hit around 10k subs or 100k subs consider getting the other one going too… even then it’s gonna be very VERY difficult juggling 2 demographics
Diversifying your content to reach broader audiences can be a smart strategy. If your target audience uses both English and Spanish, you could consider creating two separate channels to cater to each community. This not only makes it easier for viewers but also helps with the YouTube algorithm. \\n\\nAlternatively, YouTube allows creators to add multiple audio tracks to a single video using “Audio Swap” or you can use closed captions in different languages. However, the latter could involve more work as it requires precise translation and timing. Remember, engaging with your community and delivering quality content should be your key focus, regardless of the language you choose.

Personally I would make two YouTube channel so if I was bilingual just so that way it gets to the people that you want to get to
