Hi Mike,
Nice to hear from you. Hope you are well. Thanks for the update and
suggestions!
We’re actually in the process of getting the transcript written;
hopefully
it will be completely ready to go for closed captioning within the
next two
weeks. If we run into trouble in getting the transcript completed in
the
next while, I’ll consider the help you are suggesting.
It may be more helpful for people to help out with different language
subtitles. We’ve been approached to offer subtitles in Portuguese for
Brazil, Spanish for Mexico, Italian for Italy, French for Canada and
France,
and we have thought perhaps Russian (although no one has asked us
for that).
I met some people at the ISCAR Conference in San Diego from Brazil
that have
offered to complete the Portuguese subtitles once there’s a
transcript,
we’ll need to find a person for the Spanish subtitles, Luciano has
suggested
he may be available for Italian translation. Prof. Alan Cameron, who
did the
Russian voice over in the DVD, is the Head of the Language Dept at
our local
University and would probably be available for French….and so on. Do
you
think we’d need subtitles in Finnish?
