Hello again. I'd like to let you know that thanks to Victor Grigas, the Commons video of this talk (link below) now has English subtitles, synced to the talk. This should make it easier to *translate the subtitles *to make this video useful for fellow Wikimedians in other languages. It's a very long tutorial, so this would be a significant effort, perhaps best taken by a group, or piece by piece. If you do complete the translation in any language, I'd love to hear about it.
