2. Looking for feedback

• The content translation process in the Training Team could use some improvement. Currently, our lessons rely on transcripts as their main written content. However, these machine-generated transcripts are often difficult to understand. We originally included them to ensure there was at least some content alongside the video, which could then be translated into different languages.
  Since all lesson videos are hosted on YouTube — which already provides a strong transcription system — we don’t need to manually translate these transcripts. Instead, we’d like to provide high-quality written content that is directly related to each lesson.

We understand that video lesson producers may not always have enough time to create this text content themselves. In those cases, another contributor could watch the video carefully and create accurate written content.

We are prioritizing this change because we’ve received feedback from members of the disability community who reported that translated transcripts often fail to convey the original meaning or ideas of the lesson. We consider this an accessibility issue and want to ensure our lessons are inclusive. By providing well-written, human-curated text content, we can better support learners with hearing impairments, enabling them to fully engage with the material.

3. Looking for volunteers

• Several courses are listed in the WordPress Credit course, so we’ve decided to review them thoroughly. Our goal is to catch and fix any misspellings, typos, broken links, or outdated information.
  You’re welcome to go through these courses as well and create issues on GitHub if you find anything that needs attention.
