All three videos released to-date already have English language transcriptions:

For transcription, a very open web-based effort, as Michael points out, is http://universalsubtitles.org/ -- dotsub.com is user-friendly and well-established, but deeply proprietary. But at this point, we don't need transcription, just more translation. :-) So please forward this mail to any relevant lists and help us get more TimedText translations. We can then import them into any of the large distribution channels. -- Erik Möller Deputy Director, Wikimedia Foundation Support Free Knowledge: http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Donate _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
