To help with any subbing initiatives people would want to undertake. I will qoute a post I made which I think is very empowering for those looking to contribute or set something up.


"Coordinating translations:"
+ Show Spoiler +

I'm not exactly sure how it should work in this case, but I feel the method has been proven worthy and highly effective even without the system of the site linked. But it could be an option to check with the Darksmurf guy to see if we can make use of it for this purpose, or something.
Hope this can help in anyway if there is enough desire to undertake something like that. So that we can watch these awesome movies and know what it going on

Also, I felt that during the DH Invitational, many people translated the interviews, I just thought it would've been super cool if someone actually timed them to the videos. I couldn't get the video embed from the page but if I did it probably wouldve played around a little and tried to put someones translations on. Depending on how far you take it, if you settle for the minimum roughness it shouldn't take the most time, if you sub every little thing, color it, time it to the frames perfectly etc it will so, it doesn't have to be a huge chore.

To add to this, should anyone make the effort of writing up a translation, please include the times at which people say things and something like : to indicate lines and what not. I'm not exactly sure how it works but there are a few ways of formatting it so that it can be imported very easily and almost instantly is pretty decently timed. Makes it a lot easier and more doable to adjust the lines rather then figuring out what is being said when and doing each line individually. Also for those who cannot understand swedish, the time will be a good enough indication to tell when a line should appear.

To finish, I noticed I missed out a link to a crucial step, the actual timing. I think the most used program for this is Aegisub. It's not that difficult and has a ton of amazing features. For example for timing lines, you have multiple hotkeys so you can micro start and end points in rapid succession, as well as a audio segment, like a heartrate monitor? with waves and peaks of audio? and that helps insanely well because you can literally see the audio and thus get a much better feel for where you want the line to be visible on screen.

It's a bit of a wall of text but I really hope some of it can be put to good use. I feel that is the case and I would like to wish everyone best of luck, here's to a succesful endavour.

Edit: it's probably worthy to note that for the Boxer's Wings Episode 2 they used google documents to allow anyone to contribute. I'm not sure exactly how it was setup but it did provide some security against vandalism by being able to roll back or having a lot of saves or something. And I believe you can also set up priviliges there for established contributors etc.
