<br>
I'd like to make a renewed call for translation for the Wikipedia<br>
videos that we released last month. See background here:<br>
<br>
<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://blog.wikimedia.org/blog/2010/09/24/four-videos-of-wikipedias-volunteers/">http://blog.wikimedia.org/blog/2010/09/24/four-videos-of-wikipedias-volunteers/</a><br>
<br>
We already have subtitle translations in a dozen or so languages, but<br>
we need many more :-). Here's how it works:<br>
<br>
1) You'll find the videos at:<br>
<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:September_2010_Wikipedia_Videos">http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:September_2010_Wikipedia_Videos</a><br>
<br>
2) Click any of the video file names to get to the description pages.<br>
On the description page, you will see a list of "Available closed<br>
captioning files".<br>
<br>
3) Click the English language source of a subtitle file. Click "Edit".<br>
<br>
4) Copy all the text into the clipboard.<br>
<br>
5) In the address bar, replace "en" with your Wikimedia language code.<br>
So, for example,<br>
<br>
<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=TimedText:Wikipedia_User_Name_MEDIUM.ogv.en.srt&action=edit">http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=TimedText:Wikipedia_User_Name_MEDIUM.ogv.en.srt&action=edit</a><br>
<br>
becomes<br>
<br>
<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=TimedText:Wikipedia_User_Name_MEDIUM.ogv.de.srt&action=edit">http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=TimedText:Wikipedia_User_Name_MEDIUM.ogv.de.srt&action=edit</a><br>
<br>
for a German translation. Load the new address. You can now paste in<br>
the English original, and start translating line by line (be careful<br>
not to remove the time markers).<br>
<br>
If there is a translation in your language already, please help to<br>
proofread/improve it.<br>
<br>
Liane Al-Ghusain (on CC) is a communications intern with the Wikimedia<br>
Foundation. She will import the subtitles into the YouTube copies of<br>
the videos. To allow us to import them as a batch, please complete<br>
your translations by _OCTOBER 15_. We will import them the following<br>
week.<br>
<br>
If you've updated an existing translation, please let Liane know so<br>
she can import it.<br>
<br>
Thank you very much for your help. We think these videos are a great<br>
outreach tool, and your translations will make them even more widely<br>
accessible. Don't hesitate to let me know if you have any questions.<br>
<br>
All best,<br>
<br>
Erik<br>
