These are the next actions on this from the notes on these onboarding video tasks which I am copying into this card. Is there anything else?:

• external microphone to be used for the recording of the voiceovers and volume check to be carried out
• confirmation from GTE of transcript (this is done by polyglots and not marketing, this can be the transcript translator if they are also a GTE)
• confirmation that the changes in the steps have been incorporated
• merger of audio files and transcript by a local speaker with video editing ability. Please note, videos with branding from a video editing software or watermarks can not be used on Learn WordPress
• upload of finished version to the drive and YouTube. Description added. Embed provided to Learn WordPress. Update shared with polyglots of new language available
• Note how these onboarding videos will be done in future has changed. There are three videos which were pending on the old process which marketing was facilitating from the communications side, working alongside polyglots, WPTV and Learn WordPress. The idea was to incorporate this into GlotPress and the translation system, with Marketing in future only providing advice on audio, video and sound quality, mic usage etc. Where Marketing was able to help with merging video and audio (in cases where they had the specific language knowledge and working alongside a local speaker), this has been done. However, this is not possible for many languages, and needs to be done by a local speaker with video editing access. Priority for these videos have been at the time of WordCamp Europe and to promote around WPTranslationDay. (Nalini update: this particular video is likely to be particularly useful around the next WPTranslationDay and WordCamp Asia)

With Training, documentation on video and screenshots have also been produced for Learn WordPress materials, which have been shared with contributors making local translation versions of the video.

For the Dzongkha (Bhutan) video, comment from Mark Smallman from 23 March 2022 gives next step for local speaker and video merging: Anyone familiar with the language 'Dzongkha' (Bhutan) that can assist @Ugyen in putting together the on-boarding video for Slack? The transcript & Audio files are all prepared, but I think it would take someone familiar with the language to assist matching everything together.

@abhansnuk : @macgraphic and thanks for looking at this. I've gone back through the notes on this from Olga. She had said it would need someone from the locale to help him with the transcript and audio merge as it is very difficult to do this by someone unfamiliar with the language. She was able to do this with the languages she had greater familiarity with. @Ugyen could you put a call out in your locale perhaps to help match them together? It needs a native or fluent speaker for most of the languages that are merged. Thanks so much.

hi @dugyen, from what @nalininsbs has kindly summarised, it looks like the next step here is to put out a call out in your Locale:

• for someone to help merge the video + audio
• and to make sure a GTE has reviewed the transcript/translation

[dugyen]

@murillol @nalininsbs both transcript and voice over done by our locale manager Dzongkha. I am currently working on putting them all together.

[nalininsbs]

Hello @dugyen , how are things going on this? No rush. Do you think this might be ready a few weeks before WordCamp Asia? Thank you.

[nalininsbs]

@dugyen has shared on Slack that this is in progress. It is hoped it will be ready before WordCamp Asia 2023. Thank you.

Update - I have added a milestone date to allow for time for any final checks and updating onto the sites before WordCamp Asia. @dugyen could we aim for this to be finished, cleared by your GTE, subtitled, and ready to move on for publishing by 12 January 2023 at the latest? This should give you the extra few weeks to finish up working on this. Thank you.

[abhansnuk]

Promoted at meetings 7 & 14 September 2022 for anyone who is able to support Ugyen on this.

[abhansnuk]

Hi @dugyen how are you getting on with this? Just checking in case you needed a hand.

[nalininsbs]

@abhansnuk could you add from the other cards an update on these videos in general to assist the 2023 marketing team reps? Thank you.

[abhansnuk]

For context for the 2023 team reps, this is the last video in the current cycle of the onboarding Slack help videos translated into other languages. The wider issue has moved on as there have been changes to the Slack onboarding process. There are also changes in polyglot translation tools and flow which affect this.

Once @dugyen has this video checked and ready to upload, in time for WordCamp Asia, it will need to be added to YouTube and then added to the Learn WordPress page. @meherbala , Hauwa and I can help with this as can a few others.

Once the discussions on other translations and the new polyglot tools are ready, the existing YouTube videos were to be moved to WordPress.TV, and the links updated on the Learn WordPress site. This migration work was paused initially due to the tools change, and again as two locales started work on new translations of the Slack onboarding videos.

For this ticket, we are working with polyglots and Learn WordPress, who are the owners of this area going forward. Marketing team members now assists with providing proofing for the text in English language, and with the technical part to complete the migration. Moving this card therefore to the column for working with other teams.
