Hi,

I think that it is a good idea to localize everything. I know it's much easier to just redo the voice, but I guess that for a lot of users it's better to see how the function they're about to use is called. What we could do is write a manual to do and localize screen casts. So if there's an original storyboard you can record everything in your language, the documents created for the original screencast can also be reused. What do you think about that?

I would ask some volunteers to help me test the screen cast software, so we find something that works for everybody and that some community members can offer support for.

Anyone interested in localizing or creating screen casts out there? does anyone have experience with open source screen cast software?

Regards,
Rosana

Hi Alexandro,

Well if the video is transcribed, then it could be used to have a
voice over. What I mean is generate a new mp3 with the localized voice
and merge over the original video. This can be a way to loclize the
video. The only problem is we need to host the master video so the
quality of the video compression doesnt deteriorate the localized
version.
 So my guess is we could host a master copy of the video without the
youtube compression.

good point - I think this should be no problem. The issue is, however, that the English video will feature English "screenshots", if the program is concerned...

Yeah that can be an issue but I think is less of an issue than the voice.
