Who?
I'm Sara and I've been dubbing the official Polkadot videos into Spanish for 9 months on the YouTube channel called Polkadot & Kusama - Doblaje al español. During the first months I was applying to Tips on Kusama’s Treasury, and for the last 3 months I’ve been working on a Child Bounty. In this proposal I’ll be working with 2 more experienced translators, and with Cervera, who will be in charge of editing the videos.
What?
Dubbing of Polkadot Decoded 2022 playlist into Spanish. The Polkadot Decoded 2022 playlist has more than 100 videos that are equivalent to 34 hours of viewing in total.
When?
From October to January 2023. It’s important that the Spanish-speaking community has the content of the Decoded 2022 event as soon as possible to be aware of the news of the ecosystem.
Why?
Misinformation. One of the most important things is that the community is informed and aware of the technology so that they can participate in it.
Lack of English proficiency in the Spanish-speaking community. According to the EF English Proficiency Index (EF EPI), 60.6% of the Spanish-speaking population have low/moderate English proficiency. The remaining percentage is not fluent in English.
Little content about Polkadot in Spanish. Most of the content about Polkadot and its ecosystem is in English.
Content subtitled, but not dubbed. Dubbing offers users greater convenience because they don’t have to follow the reading with their eyes.
Blind Spanish-speaking people who aren’t proficient in English don’t have access to information. From experience in my family, Spanish-speaking blind people who aren’t proficient in English and want to learn need audio content in Spanish about the ecosystem.
Information may be distorted when passing through third parties. This causes the user to be misinformed.
Amount requested:
1,158.47 KSM ($51,158.3) (KSM/USD on the EMA7 on Subscan at the time of submission)
Marketing & Success metrics:
SEO. Reach an average of 250k views in total with all episodes. These videos will be accessible to any user through the Polkadot & Kusama - Doblaje al español channel, and will be available for any member to share through other channels and/or platforms (such as Polkadot Hub or the Polkadot en Español channel on YouTube).

Sara will dub over 100 videos about Polkadot into Spanish from October to January 2023. The videos are equivalent to 34 hours of viewing in total.
Sara wants to inform the Spanish-speaking community about Polkadot because there is little content in Spanish and many people don't speak English fluently.
Dubbing the videos will make it easier for Spanish-speaking people to access information about Polkadot, especially for blind people who need audio content.
Sara is requesting 1,158.47 KSM ($51,158.3) to fund the project.
The goal is to reach an average of 250k views in total with all episodes and make the videos accessible to any user through the Polkadot & Kusama - Doblaje al español channel.
