Hi again.

So I made some test this morning and unfortunately, Google Translate
Toolkit is not integrate with G+, so you can't share your request of
translation in public Mode. You have to invite people one by one or over a
gmail group.

Anyway, a workaround is possible.

In fact, as the owner of the video, and requesting for translation, you
have some tasks who appear in your Google Translate Toolkit. each one
corresponding to a langage you choose. So open one and export it. You'll
receive an srt file pre-translated. You can copy and paste the content into
a pad and share the url of the pad for a public cooperation for now.

When the pad is reviewed export it as an srt file and load it into your
video in the caption manager section. And Tadaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

You can see the video "What is Maas" as an exemple here :

There's the ENG and de FRA caption
