Hi, when are these videos available? will it be translated to other languages?

Sayın @neouyghur , I’m sure that when the videos are made they will be advertised here. I leave it up to the Mozilla folks to decide if they should be translated. Ama bence çok iyi bir fikirdir. :smiley:

Hey :wave:t6: Thanks for your question The videos will be translated in English, French, German, Spanish and Italian for the June outreach campaign for voice contributions. The videos should be available this week, ahead of the campaign. Kind regards, Hillary

@heyhillary will it be possible for the community to provide translations in other languages? e.g. maybe subtitles? It would be great to have them in Swahili and Guaraní so for the communities there it isn’t just in the language of their European “partners” :smiley:

I second the question. This (underrepresented languages) is one of the areas where Common Voice really shines, often being the only or one of the few available speech datasets.

This is the first of many marketing campaigns! We plan on replicating these kinds of efforts in othe…

It would be great if those people could come from a diverse set of communities speaking a diverse set of languages, not all from the global north. I can send you some suggestions of people to contact by Matrix :slight_smile: Also, why not put out a call for participation from the community, I’m sur…

Hi @ftyers that would be great. Teşekkür ederim. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: Till now, we got more than 200 contributors for the Uyghur language. However, we have not got new contributors recently. These official videos might be helpful for it.
