The TED Open Translation Project is a new initiative, launched May 2009, which allows any talk on TED.com to be translated into any language, by volunteers worldwide.
Their project is based on dotSUB as technology partner.

Any similarity to this project is totally casual.

Thanks for this tip. I'll apply as soon as possible.

Then I'd started with Pages or iWeb.
And you?

I was starting numbering video pages from 1 and above. But if a video will be added in the middle, all sequences will be broken. Also you can find on the net video organized in that way and will be easier using VLC to find and play subtitles.
So videos and pages will be numbered in this way a01, a02….b.01, b02….c01, c02

My first concern is to avoid that more people work on the same video transcription/translation.
We can add some "labels" on the video index page after the video title. Like :

No CC yet Nobody is working
on Trcrp Transcript in progress
on IT Trslt Translation in progress
CC EN EN Subtitles publised
CC EN IT EN and IT published

Any ideas is welcome.

So to help peoples with hearing impairment and non english speaking I've started this collaborative project to create video subtitles and translate them.
As english is not my first language, I need someone help for english transcription so that it will be easy translate on my or other languages.

My workflow is now:

  1. Creating english subtitles while trascript english audio
  2. Translate subtitles
  3. Upload video and subtiltes on MacVideoTutorial YouTube account
  4. Create video wiki page with EN and IT tabs

Help in english transcription is most appreciate to get first step easy.
This can take about 15 minutes and no registrarion is required to post the english text.
If more people are interested and joined the wiki we can organize and share some tasks as:

  • edit/translate more languages
  • avoid that peoples work on the same video
  • have some people as language coordinator
  • check the quality of single language translation

About copyright

Apple has obvioulsty the copyright of all the videos;
