i think that the principal problem to help TED spread his ideas is the barrier of language. Why not create a website like the launchpad from the Ubuntu project (or the launchpad ). In this website the community helps to translate the ubuntu project. The english version is uploaded and people around the world helps to translate. Here you can see the translation for the WordPress blog engine ( https://translations.launchpad.net/wordpress/1.5/+pots/wordpress/pt_BR/+translate?show=new_suggestions )

So, why not upload the english transcription of the lectures so we can help translate? And after that to do the subtitle is quite simple, google video has already the tools for it.

I have translated one video, I want to translate more, i want to help to spread TED’s ideas, I think that some of your ideas will be much more helpfull in countries like mine (Brazil), but unfortunately the language barrier is a great problem.

Here is the Iqbal Qadir translation that I have done.

Best Regards

It is possible to use the TED Miro player on Ubuntu.

Go to: http://www.getmiro.com/download/ubuntu.php

Follow the directions (by adding the sources package and using synaptic to search for miro) and when searching for miro there should be a TED Miro Player.

NB: I haven’t used this (Miro is giving me errors), but it looks like its there!
