Hi, translators have you seen these video yet? If then, go to YouTube first then read the below :)
---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Erik Moeller <[email protected]> Date: Sat, Sep 25, 2010 at 3:50 AM Subject: Re: [Foundation-l] [Wikimedia Announcements] New Wikipedia videos being released this week To: Wikimedia Foundation Mailing List <[email protected]> All three videos released to-date already have English language transcriptions: http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=TimedText:Edit_Button.ogv.en.srt&action=edit http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=TimedText:Nice_People_MEDIUM.ogv.en.srt&action=edit http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=TimedText:Wikipedia_User_Name_MEDIUM.ogv.en.srt&action=edit Translation is straightforward without the use of any external tools -- just replace "en" with the language of your choice, copy in the English transcription, and start translating. 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 -- KIZU Naoko / 木津尚子 member of Wikimedians in Kansai / 関西ウィキメディアユーザ会 http://kansai.wikimedia.jp _______________________________________________ Translators-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/translators-l
