Subtitles for your videos

[Halla Rempt]

I think we should try to do this. 

I'm not sure whether the subtitles in the Krita youtube video's are actually already hand-made srt files, or whether they are autotranslated by Google.

If the latter, our workflow probably should be something like:

* find a volunteer to transcribe Ramon's videos (or maybe we can mostly work from the script?) What do you think Ramon?
* then upload the translated subtitles when they become available.
