Subtitles for your videos

[Paul Brown]

Hello Again!

Talking about videos, and as an attempt to make KDE videos accessible to more 
people, we have started including subtitles/closed captions into our new 
videos.

We now have a nice workflow and most of our new videos come with subtitles in 
English.

Johnny Jazeix from the GCompris team is expanding this workflow so the 
translation team is involved, and we are at the stage in which posting new 
languages is more or less automatic. The original creator of the video uploads 
a SRT (subtitle formatted file) in English to a folder on invent.kde.org along 
with a short configuration file, and translators translate it into different 
languages that gradually get uploaded to both YouTube and PeerTube.

The whole process, from when the SRT is uploaded, to when different language 
subtitles start to appear on the video platforms, can take several days, as 
different translation teams work in different timezones and work at different 
rates. But the point is it works, and you can now see videos that use the 
system on both platforms:

This, we think, would be great asset for Krita, allowing you to reach even 
more people, and, therefore, we would like to invite you to participate in the 
project.

Let us know what you think.

Cheers
