Action: Subtitling Obama videos in many languages

A phenomenal initiative is underway to produced subtitled Obama videos with captions in many languages. Languages represented so far include Chinese, French, German, Korean, Spanish, Vietnamese. The archive of videos is on YouTube and there are more formats on the main website (including ones optimised for ipods): CaptionedMediaForObama.com. Michael Novak, who is coordinating the translation effort, asks for any members of the World Wants Obama Coalition or readers of this blog who would like to help with translation to get in touch. They particularly want Arabic and Urdu, but would welcome any languages (bar Spanish, which is well covered). The process is quite easy, Michael writes: "We have some great technology that can caption almost automatically, and the karaoke format is unique on the net," so if you might be able to help email him on info@captionedmediaforobama.com
