I need help putting English subtitles on a YouTube video (Kiswahili + French to English)

Upvotes

A friend of my parents died and a memorial service was held in her memory. She worked as a missionary for many years in the South-Kivu area. We want to watch it together, but it doesn’t have English subtitles. I will happily pay two sums of money for this work. One sum after agreement of work and the other one after the work is finished. Does anyone have access to YouTube studios and want the job? Here is the video: https://www.youtube.com/live/dRxn-t3sRck?is=CEr0gXnzFoqf_pYB
