Remarks
- CODA Hong Kong produces various video content to support the deaf community, raise awareness about their needs, and share information about our services and activities. To reach a wider international audience and make our resources accessible to English speakers, we require volunteers to translate the spoken content of our videos into English and create subtitles. Accurate and well-timed English subtitles are essential for effective communication and broadening the impact of our video content. By providing English subtitles, we aim to enhance understanding and engagement among a more diverse audience, fostering greater global awareness and support for the deaf community in Hong Kong. This initiative will significantly contribute to our international outreach efforts. We will provide the volunteer with the video link(s) that require English subtitles. We will also offer any available transcripts or background information about the video content to aid in accurate translation. Guidance on YouTube subtitle formats (.srt and .sbv) and examples will be provided if needed. We can also recommend free and user-friendly subtitling software. Our staff will be available to answer any questions the volunteer may have regarding the video content or the translation and subtitling process. We greatly appreciate the volunteer's contribution to making our resources accessible to a global audience.
