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.
