Hi Simon, That's wonderful news about TED on inclusive planet! TED has been showcasing truly impressive, memorable content past few years.
Congratulations! I do have a suggestion... TED has tied up with dotsub for subtitling in multiple languages. Here's a brief about dotsub.com for those who have not heard about it: dotSUB is the world's leading solution for creating, translating, and rendering multiple language subtitles for videos across all platforms. Our collaborative tools and proprietary back end Project Management System makes it possible to manage complex multiple language translation projects easier, faster and more cost effectively than ever before. A full suite of integration tools and a Software Development Kits (SDK) makes it possible for our partners to deploy dynamic subtitles to video players, mobile devices, as well as transcription and video editing systems. How about setting up an online volunteering system of subtitling in Indian languages? Would truly be inclusive then in every sense of the word. I have trialled this already for a research project on mental health. Online volunteers from as far away as Dubai translated scanned questionnaires into English after agreeing to a confidentiality clause (also online). They also counterchecked other translator's work as a further quality check. Worked like a dream! Looking forward to the forums feedback on how we can make this happen, Regards, Vaishnavi To unsubscribe send a message to [email protected] with the subject unsubscribe.
