Hi All,
Just dropping my two cents on how it could be achieved in the help xml
files and leaves room for localizers to create related videos, as well
as it being excluded from localized help not wanted.
Video tutorials links would be added to the "relatedtopics" <section>
found at the bottom of help pages and would be added similar to this.
<link href="https://youtu.be/Q8V-5yeTHCM";>Video: LibreOffice Overview
and getting started</link>
Translations where the tutorial shouldnt be seen would have translators
simply not translate the link text, which would result in the link being
invisible to those users. This is the simplest means i believe that can
satisfy all parties/scenarios.
The issue of the video being online and users not having access to the
internet shouldnt be a barrier to this, as we link to online help as
well as the extension website which arent accessible without the
internet. If a company chooses to block youtube and their employees
require access to these videos, that is an internal matter of the
company and this shouldnt penalize other users.
An alternative approach for the help xml would require the creation of a
<switch> tag that handles locales and would require the modification of
the help viewer to work with it. Below is an example.
<switch select="locale">
<case select="en-US,en-UK,en-GB">
<paragraph id="par_id121420150402161618" role="paragraph"
xml-lang="en-US"><link href="https://youtu.be/Q8V-5yeTHCM";>Video:
LibreOffice Overview and getting started</link></paragraph>
</case>
</switch>

Hi everyone,
thank you all for putting so much consideration into this discussion.
I am quite happy to independently create tutorial videos for LibreOffice if
it turns out that this is the best route for the project as a whole. I was
originally going to do that, but decided it would be good to get in touch
in case you needed specific kinds of tutorials. So whatever happens, my
plan is to make LibreOffice tutorials for the foreseeable future.
Thank you very much for that. We have an official TDF channel on YouTube
if you are interested to reference or upload your videos there. For now,
the only ones that are referenced are those done by
TheFrugalComputerGuy, see [1] for Writer for example. In any case, I'm
managing the channel for the moment so don't hesitate to poke me.
My current workflow means that I create transcripts(technically scripts) of
my videos, which may be helpful to you as no one will have to go back and
create them if they are needed.
ok, for the rest, I let you see with the documentation team. Lera has a
very good overview of where the documentation is aiming, so I'm sure you
will be able to find a way together.
