So how did segmentors do for mass deletion of segments when there are dots as subtitles ? Maybe it could help others and my team too. Because there are about 500 segments to delete on just 1 episode of 10 minutes
And how did segmentors do to edit many segments that were not correct but with right subtitles ?
You CAN delete segments with subtitles in them if you are the Channel Manager. If the segments are all dots, itās completely possible. But are there subtitles in other languages?
Segmenters can edit segments but without deleting any. Just shift the start and the finish.
If you have to delete a segment to merge it with the next or previous, then you should save the subtitles and add them again later, laboriously copy pasting every one by hand. Or you can give the subtitle file to the moderator of the language and ask them to do the job, with profuse apologies.
How to save subtitles? Thatās another pair of sleeves, if youāre interested I can tell you. Itās done with Firefox, using the cache. The languages can be saved one by one.
Or there is a quick way too: Just go to Bulk Translator, choose any two languages you want to save, select all and copy paste on a Word document or something.
I am not a CM but itās good to know a way to delete quickly many segments that are not correct.
How can the CM do in this case ?
No the episode was just released yesterday and before anyone could lock it, the person did the deed in English language. (We canāt sub from English > any other languages with only dots xd so no subs in other languages)
So in the case of right subs/wrong segments, the CM has to save right subs using copy/paste or using another method on Firefox. Yes, Iām interested to know, you can mp me so itās more safe ?
At that āNew Language Self-Evaluationā can be read that āWeāre channeling advanced speakers who have demonstrated a mastery of their respective language to projects as well as to Channel Managers or Language Moderators.ā
Thus my question:
Who are those āadvanced speakersā and what do they do exactly?
And another question to Viki staff:
Donāt you plan to filter the old QCs, too? I just bumped into a really bad translator in my own language (and with way too high contribution), but actually I canāt do much against her, because only my report is hardly enough to make her stop. I know there are a lot of viewers who donāt care about subtitlesā quality, but her subs are really terrible, Iāve never seen worse (itās like a bit fixed up google translation -.-).
You can do something about a lousy translator.
Write a detailed post on how and why, in a way that can be understood by people who donāt speak the language. Talk to other people who agree with you and ask for their permission to add their signatures to this letter.
Then send it to all moderators of dramas this person is in. And Channel Managers as well.
lately some dramas are region restricted even for QC because the content provider wants it.
Can you mention which drama and which region itās not working for you. Some dramas mention
this in the cover page.
btw did you check your vikipass under your account setting, click on your right profile icon to see vikipass, if you were a QC you get a coupon, sometimes you have to redeem it, mine is automatically redeemed.
Should you have further issues write to support@viki.zendesk.com and perhaps send a screenshot.
Hi. Itās me again. A few minutes ago, I got the Viki Pass with the QC Full, but It doesnāt works. So, what can I do? Maybe, do I have to wait like 1 day or anything like that? Sorry for all this questions. And I checked my account setting and it says that I have the Viki Pass and It talks about a cupon. And ok, thank you for the email. I will do that.
@ianna01
congrats to QC, can you do a screen print/shot, if you want you can send me the picvia PM (donāt post here if you have a coupon code!!) so I can see if you have a coupon, OR if you do you have one to redeem it, mineās are automatically redeemed for example mine says:
USD 4.99 /month
Your next renewal date is on Oct 25, 2016 12:25 AM
Your redeemed coupon code
xoxoxox 100% off for 6 months starting from Jul 25, 2016 12:25 AM
if you have just received the coupon perhaps it takes few days till it will be by viki system automatically redeemed, either way, if you donāt want to wait contact dhruv_511 (PM on discussions) he is a technician and he should be able to help, if that wonāt work send an email to support@viki.zendesk.com or contact Clara directly clara_sweetnara via vikimail.
I hope this helps and good luck
@ianna01
I think the technician itās rather āarmchairdudeā than dhruv_511!! (if you scroll up you will see it)
read more info about VikiPass and QC here:
Simi thank you so much for your help. I waited like 1 hour and It worked, so Iām current enjoying my Viki Pass seeing all the videos that I want to see. Well, thatās everything. Again, thank you so much, really. I do not know I would have done without you.
so happy I could help (hopefully others can read up if they are stuck), and itās indeed that QT do NOT have access to VikiPass.
You must be jumping with joy that itās working āfinallyā and you can watch your favorite shows. It takes a village to raise a child, meaning teamwork
Have fun and see you around!!
