Hi dear translators,
I'm passing on a request from my friend and colleague Victor Grigas.
There's this short video about editathons: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:WikipediaMeetup.webm
It is going to be distributed on Friday.
It would be very nice if you could get it translated to your language. I just did it for Hebrew and it took me less than 3 minutes.
Instructions: 1. Copy the text from https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/TimedText:WikipediaMeetup.webm.en.srt
2. Create a page similar to the URL above, but with your language code instead of en. For example, for French write: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/TimedText:WikipediaMeetup.webm.fr.srt
3. Paste the English text that you copied in step 1.
4. Change the English lines to lines in your language. Don't change the lines with numbers and times.
5. Save the page. That's it! To test, go again to https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:WikipediaMeetup.webm ... and while playing the video, click the CC button at the bottom of the player and select your language.
Thank you!

Thank you Amir, I'm done with Macedonian (mki).
Cheers. Bojan

Done for Gujarati. This may be useful for our upcoming meetup in the end of June.
Q: How can we set Gujarati subtitles default while video is embeded on Meetup page?
Thanks!
Nice little video, I'd say :)

Hi,
nice video in a typical American style. Trying to "sell" that elsewhere in the world is, uhm, problematic at least.
For our culture, if Jimmy was speaking at half the pace, better less, we had chance to follow the subtitles. As it is, is is plain not usable. It goes as a strange piece of artwork that noone understands, but is "Nice, a nice specimen. Nod. Nod." :-) unless you are familiar with America, and even then, its is likely simply too fast for most to understand.
Btw. As a general hint to all the many "outreach" people there - as a translator I have been following your struggles to some extent for a while - if you do not learn to become culture independent which as per my impression you do not and you will not, give up your current approach and hire locals.

Seconding, how do you translate the URL? Sending non-English-speakers to an English page is not great user experience, and the link is embedded in the YoutTube version so I imagine just replacing it in the srt file will not update that.

Subtitles are clicable and video is not so I don't see a problem here.
