Hi Everyone

I just would like to share with you a great news. The captions for the
video about Ubuntu for tablets are ready to translate :
https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu-videos-captions/ubuntufortablets-fullvideo

As you can see, the work begun for
Dutch<https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu-videos-captions/ubuntufortablets-fullvideo/+pots/ubuntu.for.tablets.-.full.video/nl/+translate>
, Brazilian Portuguese<https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu-videos-captions/ubuntufortablets-fullvideo/+pots/ubuntu.for.tablets.-.full.video/pt_BR/+translate>
, Galician<https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu-videos-captions/ubuntufortablets-fullvideo/+pots/ubuntu.for.tablets.-.full.video/gl/+translate>
, Malayalam<https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu-videos-captions/ubuntufortablets-fullvideo/+pots/ubuntu.for.tablets.-.full.video/ml/+translate>
, Persian<https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu-videos-captions/ubuntufortablets-fullvideo/+pots/ubuntu.for.tablets.-.full.video/fa/+translate>
, Vietnamese<https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu-videos-captions/ubuntufortablets-fullvideo/+pots/ubuntu.for.tablets.-.full.video/vi/+translate>
and
it's finished for English, Spain and French.

The idea is to ask to the owner of the account CelebrateUbuntu on Youtube
to add the srt files I will generate with those translation to the initial
video. So LoCo could share the link and none english spoken people will
understand what it's talking about. And of course, if you download the
video with youtube-dl with the --write-srt --srt-lang $langofyourchoice
you'll receive the video with the caption file if the caption exist. It's
perfect for offline mode.

For exemple, take a look at the Jorge Castro's video "What is Maas ?"

You see ? you can choose captions between english, french or spanish
And if I want to download the video with the french captions to use the
video offline (for showcase where Internet is very slow)

So, as CelebrateUbuntu adds the captions I sent him/her yesterday (en, fr,
es), you could have the Ubuntu for tablets video ready for spanish, english
and french speaking LoCos. for the others, you know what to do.

Next, I will begin to prepare the english transcript for Ubuntu for phone
video. It will be epic

I hope this work will help you to spread Ubuntu

Best Regards, Folks !
