Intro

Did you ever wanted to help Debian but weren't sure what to do? we want you!

You are not only helping, but you will also learn a lot while doing it!

Find the ins and outs of subtitling and translating Debian videos here

Where to find us

irc://#debconf-subs@irc.debian.org

Join IRC if you want something to do... or want to do something but don't know how... or want to hang out... We are cool

mailing list

Use the mailing list for the same reasons as IRC but you prefer the asynchronous nature of email

debconfsubs project

If you would like to work on the subtitles offline without using amara and be able to submit your own work to the repository you can join the alioth project. You can also speak with somebody on IRC or the mailing list to submit your work for you

Prerequisites

None!

If you can understand english, you can type it down

If you can read english, you can translate it to your local language

How can you help?

Online

This is the easy way to jump in. Register/Login on amara and head to our hub in amara and start subtitling. You dont need to speak or synchronize with anybody. You will also get nice tools out of the box.

Select the language you want to work on, usually "en" if you are just subtitling and not translating. Select edit. We use the "notes" field on the bottom-right corner to put the time where the last person added subtitles so it is easy for others to pick up after you. If the transcript is okay, you can proceed to sync it afterwards

The tools are self explanatory but give us a holler on IRC or the mailing list if you have questions or problems

Offline

This is done using your preferred video player and text editor. Download the video

List of videos from Debconf14

List of videos from Debconf15

Then start one of the following tasks:

Create transcripts of the talks: typing on a regular text file what you heard. Around 52 characters per line
Syncing transcripts with the video: Using one of the programs listed later
Correcting subs: A second pass to correct errors
Translations to your local language: editing the english subtitles text file and translating them

Files can be imported and exported from amara at any state and point in time (ex. transcript half done, fully transcripted but half sync, etc) to work offline

Read Conventions and tips for the transcription

If you still have doubts, read our Subtitling FAQ or gives a shout on IRC/mailing list

To avoid duplication of work, you can check the video on amara to see if its already been done. If a sub is half done in amara it can also be downloaded to just resume the work.

Its not a requisite, but is nice if you ask somebody on #debconf-subs to lock the edition of the file on the web for you :)

There are many videos an just a few people doing the subtitling. Is not likely to step in each other work even if you dont synchronize

fast method to sub using aegisub
