<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" ><tr><td valign="top" style="font: inherit;">Being new to translation of video subtitles, it took me a while to find out how to view the videos. This is what I found out:<br><br>1) You can view the videos on Wikimedia Commons at http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Wikimedia_Foundation_videos.<br>2) If you can't play the videos on your computer, consult the help page http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Media_help.<br>3) To see subtitles on videos at Wikimedia Commons you need to enable the MwEmbed gadget - see http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:MwEmbed<br>4) The talk page of the english subtitles has got links to the subtitled videos and so has the file description page.<br>5) Because the videos are made up of more than one speaker, you have to view the videos to find out when one speaker changes to another. Cues for change of speaker in the English text would have been helpful, but no
big deal.<br><br>Have fun with these. <br>Regards,<br>Eleri James (Lloffiwr)<br><br>--- On <b>Sat, 25/9/10, translators-l-request@lists.wikimedia.org <i><translators-l-request@lists.wikimedia.org></i></b> wrote:<br><blockquote style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"><br>From: translators-l-request@lists.wikimedia.org <translators-l-request@lists.wikimedia.org><br>Subject: Translators-l Digest, Vol 62, Issue 2<br>To: translators-l@lists.wikimedia.org<br>Date: Saturday, 25 September, 2010, 13:00<br><br><div class="plainMail">Send Translators-l mailing list submissions to<br> <a ymailto="mailto:translators-l@lists.wikimedia.org" href="/mc/compose?to=translators-l@lists.wikimedia.org">translators-l@lists.wikimedia.org</a><br><br>To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit<br> <a href="https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/translators-l"
