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 wants to dub over 100 videos about Polkadot into Spanish so that Spanish-speaking people can learn about the technology. She will work with two other translators and an editor. The videos are from the Polkadot Decoded 2022 playlist and are 34 hours long in total. Sara wants to do this from October to January 2023. She needs money to do this, and she is asking for 1,158.47 KSM ($51,158.3). Sara thinks it's important to do this because many Spanish-speaking people don't speak English well, and there isn't much content about Polkadot in Spanish. She also thinks it's important for blind Spanish-speaking people to have access to this information. Sara hopes to reach an average of 250k views in total with all episodes.
