**Who?**

I'm Sara and I've been dubbing the official Polkadot videos into Spanish for 9 months on the YouTube channel called [Dotsama - Doblaje al español](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdhalsQc7NrYCvYkietak7A). 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](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1hqm_CM8QRvvTNuxMnz4FbvX5A9C_esEWo51pEtD0mfk/edit?usp=sharing).
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](https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLOyWqupZ-WGvcE0HKKnORiFqWNv5onxCf) into Spanish. The Polkadot Decoded 2022 playlist has more than 100 videos that are equivalent to 34 hours of viewing in total.

**When?**

From September to December 2022. 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:**

$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 Dotsama - 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).
