Add translated subtitles to videos

[mirenbz]

Feature Request

Although courses can be and actually are translated, they make use of videos which can be an important part of the learning process (especially for beginners). However those are available only in English (except for the "What is GitHub" one).

It would be great if those videos could be offered with translated subtitles into different languages, so that someone following the course in, say, Spanish, would be able to at least read the subtitles in Spanish.

I'm willing to make those translations into Spanish, much easier if a transcript is available. Is this possible? How/where should I provide such translations?

This is a great idea. Thank you, @mberasategi.

I'm not sure how we could go about this. I would assume different video hosting platforms have different options, and of course we could keep transcripts and translations in markdown in a repo somewhere that we could link to from video descriptions.

@a-a-ron, what would be your advice for how to approach transcripts and translations of videos?

Just wanted to provide a quick update here that there's an ongoing internal conversation about how to approach this. I've cross-linked this issue to that thread and we'll update here if/when we find out more.

I don't know how we could help but I hope we will find some way soon 👍
