Lesson translations (2020) - help wanted

Part 1 (2020)
35

at youtube, process to add translation is rather simple thanks to editor available there. but it takes a lot of effort to translate 2 hour long lecture. i think to speed up the translation itā€™s best to split the video in parts and allocate the work between each ā€˜language teamā€™ members.

i put a couple of screenshots together (using fastpages :slight_smile: ) on how to add translations (the splitting part is not in there though)

say for example there are two people translating two hour long video. one person gets 0-1hr part and another gets 1-2hr part. they translate it via youtube editor. then download the translation file to disk. combine the two translations files into one and upload to as one complete translation.

what do you think?

@jeremy my guess is that you would like to have translations for the edited videos, not the raw recordings right?

Yes thatā€™s right. Theyā€™re posted now. Iā€™ll try to get an automated transcription done as soon as I can, then the transcription team can get on to doing it properly - but hopefully the auto one will be enough to start translating.

I translated you Covid article in similar way, used Google translate to covert to local content, then edited in Google typing to make the translated sentences meaningful. I think this strategy can be used for any language support by Google translate.

@miko @DavideBoschetto I am more than welcome to help you in Italian

It breaks my heart not seeing Japanese in this list!!

I have not taken any classes in Japanese after high school so I am definitely lacking many technical terms (not to mention my family thinks my Japanese is broken these days :sweat_smile:). BUT! I will give this a try and I am throwing @crcrpar under the bus here just because he said ā€œof courseā€ when I asked for a help during our casual conversation :wink:

@hiromi that would be really great, because there hasnā€™t been much of a fast.ai Japanese community so far due to a lack of translations.

Currently translating lesson 1 in french

Can you get YouTube to auto translate English subs to French. I checked couple of times but so far no luck. Doesnā€™t show that option. 2019 video I tried had it. Not sure if it takes a while fo YouTube to generateā€¦

Hiromi, youā€™ve given more than nearly anyone already! :slight_smile:

Great! Please add yourself to the top post.

I donā€™t know I am not using it. I am translating directly from audio using auto-transcript when necessary (which works surprisingly well).

@translate-1v4: lesson 1 is now ready to translate. To do so, click here:

http://www.youtube.com/timedtext_video?v=_QUEXsHfsA0&ref=share

Youā€™ll be able to see the auto-generated English captions to help you translate - but remember they have errors, so make sure you listen as well.

Feel free to create PM groups or topics to coordinate multiple translators.

Good luck!

Thatā€™s great. Thank you!
When i checked the 2019 video and added Polish language translation (which i never finished :frowning: ) i had an option to auto generate Polish translation. Itā€™s not available for 2020 video. I am not sure if this feature needs to be activated or it just takes time for youtube to generate auto translations. That could make the translations a bit easier. To use auto translation as a starting point and correct it for thereā€¦
