YOUTUBE videos with subtitles in your native language
Adding a subtitle in your own native language to a youtube video and having it published on youtube in your country increases the chances that one of your compatriots will see it.
There are now quite many videos on Youtube talking about generics for HCV. Many are available in English, so you may chose one that you consider relevant.
Couple of tips:
- check the video's licensing terms
- you may add a subtitle by using the caption option from Youtube or embed the subtitle in the video (the free tool Windows Movie Maker is very easy to learn and use).
- you need an youtube account
- usually, the work to embed the subtitle for 1 minute video requires about 10-15 minutes, depending on your language skills and ability to type. So for a 10 minutes video you will work about 2-3 hours.
- on youtube you may add additional information about the video material and its content, but make sure you are not exagerating nor posting info that are against Youtube rules (false info, discrimination, etc) as it might lead to the video being removed (possibly also other consequences for breaching the rules).
Advantage: videos are very convincing, so you need to make sure that the translation is of a good quality
Disadvantage: the videos are not so much visualized ( like the news from an online website) but hey, if at least one single person will use the information from the video in finding the way to get treated from HCV, you may still call it a BIG WIN.
