    Hey there, l10ns of SUMO!

    You helped me before with the scripts, now it's time to take a sneak preview of the first iteration of the tutorial videos.

    Let me know what you think - and be brutally (and constructively) honest, please! Your feedback matters.

    They are not perfect by all means - but I am quite happy with their quality, given that these are actually first videos I produced from start to finish on my own.

    I will be posting these later to our YT channel in a separate playlist and linking to them from our l10n documentation.

    Cheers,

    Michał

    Hi Vesper,

    I think that's a wonderful job. For the weirdo's like myself who scrutinizes every detail, why do we have some interface in the video in English and some in Polish?

    Was this deliberate?

    While, it's not a blockage as such, it would nice to keep the consistency or develop videos that can be translated to the various locales.

    I love them though.

    my half cent ends here :-)

    Hi Michael!

    Thank you for your time spent watching them and your feedback :-)

    I had to use a locale other than English to show the localization tools (the en-US locale doesn't have them). I went for Polish, because it was easiest for me (apologies for this convenient shortcut) - and some of the UI seems to have not been localized into Polish yet, hence the English elements.

    What locale would you prefer to see in future videos? I can change that, even if it means more time spent figuring out what I should be highlighting on the screen ;-)

    (side note: yes, the notifications seem broken, I haven't seen an email about this post by Michael...)

    If en-US does not have all the tools needed, is it possible create some test language, where the interface won't be translated, or just use some, where SUMO is actually not translated (https://localize.mozilla.org/projects/sumo/)?
