Translation thread

[Elvis]

Considering that many people on this forum speak languages specific to regions from India, would it be ok if we had this thread in which we, the people who don't speak those languages, could post links to Indian YouTube video or other sites and ask for a brief explanation about what they are talking about? What I'm basically asking is: would having a Hindi to English translation thread be allowed here on MAF?

i don't think anyone would object to it.
as long as you don't post videos that offend the staff's sensibilities.

This sounds like a good idea but aren't there subtitles for most youtube videos?

There is auto generated ones for almost every video but they are very inaccurate and only the big channels get real translations.

Oh I see
Well I would support this idea if the mods are okay with it

Don't expect me or madara or even clara to bother with this.

Hindi huh, how about Telugu? I wonder if there is someone from southern India here

Well, there are some that don't have subtitles, such as this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPzI2cT0hzw

how did you get into watching those videos?
they are not like anime and not many people watch videos from other languages without the subtitles

i think i heard that language before.
why do you know indian languages? do you have any ancestors from there?

 

[Kaname]

If the few members who know the language wouldn't bother with it, then it's going to be difficult man.
Even if it's allowed, there would be no point to it

 

[Blackrose]

Oh I see
Well I don't know if anyone will help out with that but let's see

What about you?

 

[Kaname]

What about you?

You could rather ask someone you know man.
Don't you know anyone who can help you?

 

[Blackrose]

What about you?

I don't know much hindi but the video is kinda self explanatory
What I did pick up from it is that they were telling you about Sharukhan's new movie and the basic gist of it as well as showing you the main actresses..this seems kinda interesting..I might look this up

 

[Blackangel]

trivia things?
i know star knows some languages but i never knew that name until i saw that here.
