Lesson translations (2020) - help wanted

pcuenq · March 27, 2020, 5:59pm

It’s not a lesson, but I added Spanish subtitles to the public masks 4 all video shortly after it was released. When I open a new session I only see the automatic English captions. Do I need to do anything else about it?

I think the video is great and it presents overwhelming evidence. Many people in Spain (including my parents) don’t understand English very well, it’d be great to share the video with them

i think there is ‘switch language’ button and it should have draft of your Spanish translation. i say draft because i think you have to ‘submit’ them for the video owner (Jeremy) to approve, so they can be visible. i think that’s the process.

I am on page 3 of 23 of lesson 1. It is a monumental task. I think I will eventually see the end of it, but we should get started on the other lessons sooner rather than later, or the Italian translation won’t be ready for when the course goes public

hiromi · March 29, 2020, 9:32pm

Indeed it is. Would you like me to create Italian auto-translation file when I run the lesson 2 transcript through to convert to Japanese? It’s literally just picking another language from a dropdown and I am already doing it anyway. From there, I watch the video, fix translation, and copy to .sbv file.

Let me know

miko · March 30, 2020, 9:24am

yes, please. That would help. Thank you very much

hiromi · March 30, 2020, 1:25pm

There you go https://github.com/hiromis/fastai_japan/tree/master/Lesson_2

I will also put English sbv file there as soon as Jeremy uploads the one from the Google doc transcript.

Good luck!!

Hi @jeremy! (I’m sorry for @ mentioning).

Japanese translation for lesson 1 is ready, and I also converted the lesson 2 Google doc transcript into a text file here for easier upload.
Since I am not the owner of the video, it will not let me upload a regular text file as a transcript. Could you upload and publish it?

Thank you!

Hey guys, does someone know how to enable the auto translate feature while translating the videos? It was on during the 1st Lecture, but I can’t find it on the second one.

hiromi · March 31, 2020, 1:07pm

For lesson 1, I ended up uploading the generated transcript as the “English” transcript - which enabled the auto translation button. The issue with that was when Jeremy uploaded the actual transcript done by the other group, the timing became unaligned. So we are waiting on the official one to be uploaded. Hopefully, Jeremy gets around to it today

SOVIETIC-BOSS88 · March 31, 2020, 1:20pm

Thank you very much for confirming it.

Hey,
Because I didn’t find a good way to start the translation from the automatic translation, so I created a simple script where after I download the English subtitles, I upload them to Colab and translate them into my language.
The main reason I do this in Colab and not on my computer is that there is a limitation of using Google Translate, and if you happen to get stuck - you can easily change the type of notebook in “change runtime type” and then the limit is released.

hi @mhanan, your notebook is not shared

krasin · March 31, 2020, 7:15pm

The Bulgarian translation of Lesson 1 is done but it needs some polishing and corrections to be finished.

mhanan · March 31, 2020, 7:50pm

fixed. thanks.

I generated English sbv file with YouTube’s auto transcripts so that we have at least something:

It does not help for enabling Auto Translation button on youtube unfortunately

Lesson 2 Tamil Subs is ready and submitted.

@jeremy Couple of quick questions.

How would you want concepts like “Data Loaders”, “API”, “GPU” to be translated.
How do you want variables and function names like “fine_tune”, “dls”, “RandomSplitter” to be translated.

Should we keep these things in English as such? or transcribe the text in the language translating into.
Any other pointers which you would like to be considered while translation?

jeremy · April 1, 2020, 6:54pm

Whatever is idiomatic in your language. If it’s standard to use an English acronym or term, feel free. Since DataLoaders is a symbol, use that without translating.

I’d suggest leaving them unchanged.

krasin · April 2, 2020, 7:15pm

Hi @jeremy The Bulgarian translation of Lesson 1 is ready. I also made a GitHub repository for the translation if someone have ideas for terminology improvements - https://github.com/krasing/fastai-course-subtitles-BG.git.

krasin · April 22, 2020, 3:02pm

I can’t see the English transcript into the video of lecture 2, just the auto-generated one.

jeremy · April 22, 2020, 4:35pm

Oops sorry! I’ve uploaded it now - should be processed in a few hours.
