Question from CZ

The GLAM-Wiki Revolution

Hi, my name is Eva and I would like to ask you one question about your video. I would like to put CZ subtitles inside it and I would like to have your permittion and also I am not sure if I am able to do that without you or some other administrator. Could you please help me with that? And also I should introduce myself to you - I am new GLAM coordinator for Wikimedia CZ. Here is my page User:Eva Andrejsová (WMCZ), if you want to reach me. Thank you a lot in advance. — Preceding undated comment added 09:25, 19 March 2021 (UTC)

Hi @Eva Andrejsová (WMCZ): You're more than welcome to add subtitles to the video, and you don't have to be an administrator to do so. There is a section with a list of existing subtitle files and a link to some instructions on the video's Wikimedia Commons file page which will hopefully be helpful. Thanks, Rock drum (talk · contribs) 22:05, 19 March 2021 (UTC)
