(1) TRANSLATING THE WEBSITE

You can auto-translate the whole website into 27 languages using the language button at the top of the page:

If you can’t find your own language then use the language translator within your own browser.

 

(2) SUBTITLES IN YOUR LANGUAGE

The subtitles of the Sycamore films have been translated into many languages. To use the subtitles:

• Start playing the film that you wish to watch.
• Then click on the SETTINGS/GEAR icon in the bottom right of the screen, and click on the “CC/subtitles” option that pops up:
• This will give you various language options. Choose the one you need.
• You can then use the [cc] button to switch the subtitles off or on.

Please note: The languages marked “CC” (“closed-caption) were manually translated for Sycamore by native speakers. They are generally very reliable and have been manually checked. The languages marked “autogenerated” were created by Vimeo AI, and they may have some mistakes. We are not able to manually check and correct these at present, but we offer them in the hope that an imperfect translation is better than no translation at all.

 

(3) AUDIO DUBBING IN YOUR LANGUAGE

The audio on the Sycamore films has been auto-dubbed into many languages using Vimeo AI. To switch languages:

• Start playing the film that you wish to watch.
• Then click on the SETTINGS/GEAR icon in the bottom right of the screen, and click on the “Audio” option that pops up.
• This will give you various language options. Choose the one you need.

Please note: The auto dubbing is generated by Vimeo AI from the autogenerated English subtitles. These English subtitles may have some mistakes (they may not match exactly the audio), and the translation from English may also have some mistakes. We are not able to manually check and correct these at present, but we offer them in the hope that an imperfect translation is better than no translation at all.

 

(4) SPECIALIST INFORMATION PER COUNTRY

Some language information is country-specific, and specialist advice has been provided for users in some countries, including links to local Sycamore resources, and manual translations of the discussion questions for the core films.

(5) USING SUBTITLES WITH DOWNLOADED FILMS

The 20 core films are still available to download. If you wish to use subtitles with these downloads, you will need to download the subtitle files as well. For information about how to do this, and to see the list of subtitle downloads, see the subtitle page here.
