Help Translate Lessons!

alexj · Jun 3, 2021

Hey everyone,

We're beginning to start working on translations for lessons and I'm trying to determine how many people would like to volunteer to help! If you're interested, please post in the thread the language you can translate and how many lessons you'd be able to help translate (in case we need multiple people for a language).

Thanks a ton and we're super excited that we're able to do this!

I can help with Croatian. I could probably do all of them but it would take a while cause there's a lot of lessons.

Hey! I volunteer for translations to Brazilian Portuguese Willing to help with as many lessons as needed

Aquamandy · Jun 3, 2021

I'd love to help with Brazilian Portuguese too , and I don't think I'll need a limit, so I can take as many as you want for me

I can help with spanish and i think i can do the ones you ask me without problem

but i´ve got a question, do we need to have a special program or something to do the translations or it just have to be in a regular document?

The software we use for our lessons is asking for an SRT file for the translations, so if you can do that file format that would be great, but if not we can handle converting them from a regular doc

Yeah Amazing idea! I could help you with spanish and ucranian

Hey, I can help with Italian. I don't have a limit..it all depends on how much time we have to do it I guess

I think it's crucial to make an observation: to everyone who will volunteer for the translation work, it's extremely important that you have an advanced listening skill, regarding the English language. Because you will need to understand everything that's being said in the videos, in order to transcribe it and then translate it correctly. So, before making this big commitment, be totally sure that you will be able to handle it.
P.S.: I am not trying to discourage anyone. I think the more people willing to help, the better, but it's important to address this.

Jak Angelescu · Jun 3, 2021

Anna makes a great point! Thank you to everyone volunteering!

This reminded me of a question: will we need to sync the subtitles too? Or do you already have the transcriptions in English synced and we'll only need to translate it?

Cause if you don't have this transcriptions, I think most of us will be able do it without a problem but then as Anna remembered here, all the volunteers will have to keep in mind they need an advanced English level before volunteering.

Also, maybe there are people here who only speak English, but want to help anyway, so another option would be get those people to do the transcriptions in English and to sync them

Can I try one? In Dutch
Does it have to be perfect and maybe have an idea on how to approach it?
I'm worried I'll end up doing nothing

According to the software we use, syncing will not be an issue we need to worry about!

Hey William, you can absolutely help if you'd like! It does need to be as perfect as possible so that as many people as possible will be able to use your translation to view the lessons

I can do Dutch (and German if needed), also would be willing to transcribe in English if that's something that's needed
