[How to sign up]

00:00:10.621 --> 00:00:13.089
Welcome to the Open Translation Project!

00:00:13.566 --> 00:00:15.112
To start contributing,

00:00:15.137 --> 00:00:18.883
go to TED.com and set up a profile.

00:00:19.788 --> 00:00:21.475
Then you will need to register

00:00:21.500 --> 00:00:25.378
in our online
translation and transcription tool, Amara.

00:00:25.692 --> 00:00:28.682
To do so, go to Amara.org

00:00:29.539 --> 00:00:34.084
and then sign in
by using your TED profile.

00:00:38.458 --> 00:00:40.227
Now select your languages.

00:00:40.672 --> 00:00:42.268
In the Open Translation Project,

00:00:42.293 --> 00:00:45.082
in addition to translating
English TEDTalks,

00:00:45.186 --> 00:00:48.106
you will also be able
to translate and transcribe

00:00:48.241 --> 00:00:51.122
TEDxTalks delivered in other languages.

00:00:51.680 --> 00:00:54.441
So here, select all of the languages

00:00:54.466 --> 00:00:58.139
that you feel confident
translating and transcribing.

00:01:06.073 --> 00:01:08.992
Afterwards, click "Apply to Join."

00:01:10.104 --> 00:01:12.738
You will be asked to respond
to a few questions.

00:01:14.072 --> 00:01:15.704
Be as accurate as possible,

00:01:15.729 --> 00:01:18.054
and remember to answer
all of them in English.

00:01:19.903 --> 00:01:22.228
When you're ready,
submit your application.

00:01:24.054 --> 00:01:25.229
Let me give you a hint!

00:01:26.103 --> 00:01:30.356
Don't forget to confirm your email address
in the email sent to you by Amara.

00:01:30.690 --> 00:01:33.061
This will allow you
to receive a notification

00:01:33.086 --> 00:01:35.285
when your application has become accepted.

00:01:36.927 --> 00:01:39.776
We usually take up to five days
to approve an application.

00:01:40.030 --> 00:01:41.903
You can use this time to prepare

00:01:42.046 --> 00:01:47.422
by browsing our training material
on TED.com and our Wiki, OTPedia,

00:01:48.049 --> 00:01:51.746
and you can search for TEDTalks,
TEDxTalks and TED-Ed lessons

00:01:51.771 --> 00:01:53.446
that you might want to translate.

00:01:54.160 --> 00:01:56.461
After your application
has become accepted,

00:01:56.684 --> 00:01:59.222
get in touch with the OTP community,

00:01:59.247 --> 00:02:01.288
in our general Facebook groups,

00:02:01.698 --> 00:02:05.094
"I translate TEDTalks"
and "I transcribe TEDxTalks,"

00:02:05.285 --> 00:02:10.387
and find your specific language group
in the ever-growing list on OTPedia.

00:02:11.310 --> 00:02:14.043
And for now,
happy transcribing and translating!
