Feature request: Translation

[guiolive]

Considering that all the courses have the transcript available, why is there no translation into several languages directly from the platform? It would be a good idea to put the transcript txt file as a subtitle option since we could translate it into any language.

Hi @guiolive, can you be more specific about how this would work on mobile? The transcript txt files are available in the web player, and users use Chrome's auto-translation to update the subtitles and transcript tray copy. However, I haven't seen this type of autotranslation in mobile apps.

My suggestion is that the subtitles be implemented directly in frontendmasters and not from google chrome which is very bad. I use vlc to watch random videos and in it I can use txt for subtitles, this is not possible in your app because the videos can only be used within the platform.

Thanks for the update @guiolive , I've tagged this as a potential feature/enhancement and will discuss with the team.

Thank you. I'm Brazilian and I know that there is a large community of students in Brazil. I can help with translations into Portuguese free of charge.
