Hi Marcus - thanks for the note. I'll be looking into this right away to see if we can
get the good work of the subtitlers/translators into the whole presentation of the videos
on youtube and Vimeo.
Thanks for the pointer. As soon as we have some progress on this we'll let you know
(but hopefully you'll see this unfolding).
thanks!

The videos Wikimedia recently produced are available
on Youtube,
Facebook and several other sites. Can somebody from the Foundation who
has access to the videos update them and include the subtitles in
several different languages that were provided by Wikimedians on Commons
(see the file description pages of the four videos in
<http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:September_2010_Wikipedia_Videos>)?
The default video player on Commons does ot support subtitles. They are
only available through the mwEmbed extension. But Videos on Youtube,
Facebook etc. support subtitles natively.
That would make it much easier for non-English Wikimedians to direct the
interested public to the subtitled video in the respective language.
Thanks.
