[call to action] "KDE For All" goal | Adding video subtitles

[Johnny Jazeix]

Hi,

In addition, if someone has knowledge about automatising API calls to
Youtube (login using OAuth2 without having prompts every two weeks...)
in Python, feel free to reach me so we can improve this part as for
now, the upload is still not fully automatised within KDE infra.

Also, the source code is available in
https://invent.kde.org/websites/video-subtitles and Python is not my
strong language so feel free to update and improve it :).

Cheers,

Johnny

> The creator of the video uploads the SRT (subtitle formatted file) in
> English to Invent along with a short configuration file. Translators
> then translate the SRT into different languages. These translations will
> gradually be uploaded to both PeerTube and YouTube. For details about
> creating video subtitles using Kdenlive and uploading them to
> invent.kde.org, see this page at the community wiki:

> The whole process may take several days, as different translation teams
> work in different time zones and work at different rates. For examples
> of videos using the system on both platforms, see the following:
