[Olli]

So, have I understand right, user not need to have any Commons gadget to
watch subtitled videos? And you will upload the subtitles to YouTube?

best regards

> 1) You'll find the videos at:

>
> 2) Click any of the video file names to get to the description pages.
> On the description page, you will see a list of "Available closed
> captioning files".
>
> 3) Click the English language source of a subtitle file. Click "Edit".
>
> 4) Copy all the text into the clipboard.
>
> 5) In the address bar, replace "en" with your Wikimedia language code.
> So, for example,

> for a German translation. Load the new address. You can now paste in
