As regular forum visitors will know, I have done a few YouTube videos about various aspects of MUSHclient (and also one on how to do closed captioning).
These videos have closed captions already made, in English, which helps viewers who are hard of hearing. However closed captioning is also supposed to be useful if you speak different languages.
I would greatly appreciate it if forum users would volunteer to translate one or more caption files into other languages.
Users on the forum have stated they come from: Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Chile, China, Czech Republic, Denmark, Eritrea, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Ghana, Greece, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Israel, Italy, Japan, Kuwait, Lithuania, Malaysia, Mexico, Moldova, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Singapore, Slovakia, Slovenia, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Turkey, Ukraine, United Kingdom, USA, Vanuatu.
The files that need translating are here:

To translate, simply:
An example of the captions files are:
As you can see, you just need to replace the English text, leaving the timecode line alone. Make sure there is a blank line between each caption.
If you are planning to do this, please post a brief message below (eg. "I will translate all files into Spanish") to save having multiple people working on the same language.
If you need to use extended characters you can save the file as UTF-8 format (Notepad lets you do this) to preserve the extra characters.
Thanks for any assistance you can provide.

The files that need translating are here:
http://mushclient.com/files/mushclient/captions/
To translate, simply:
- Get one or more of those files (right-click and "save as" to get an exact copy).
- Open in any text editor (eg. Notepad, MUSHclient editor, Crimson Editor)
- Leave the timecode lines "as is" as they indicate where each caption is shown.
- Translate each line into your language (replacing the English) - see the next post for a suggestion about using Google translate to do a preliminary rough translation.
- Make sure your document is in UTF-8 format (see post further down for more details about this) so that accented and other characters appear correctly.
- Save as the original name, appending your language.
eg.
Save "Making a plugin caption.srt" as "Making a plugin caption_German.srt"
- Repeat for other files if you want.
- Post a message here saying you are done and I will send you a forum mail message advising you of my email address, so you can send them to me. (Or, post the translation directly here, a forum message can be up to 6,000 characters long, and the example below is under 5,000 characters).
- I will then upload the captions to YouTube.
An example of the captions files are:

I'm just demonstrating MUSHclient used with a whole lot of plugins

which help you to see what you are doing and gives somewhat more of a

graphic look-and-feel to it.

You can see on the screen here I've got a campaign list, which is like a quest
