Please describe your proposed solution

The CBCA [Cardano Blockchain certified Associate] course that held by the Cardano Academic, is launched last year (2023) on the platfom: https://learn.academy.cardanofoundation.org/app/learn/

With the purpose empower the community to navigate, innovate, and responsibly contribute to the rapidly growing field of blockchain technology through free access to quality verified education.

The course contains 4 modules, 32 units, 398 sections, 506 minutes and 494 quizes, by English voice generated by AI. That course platform has not yet integrated any automatic translation tools, so most learners in Vietnam cannot understand the voice and subtitles of the course.

Even when automatically translated by any tool, there are still many technical keywords that ordinary people cannot understand. We have tried translating many different subtitles with Google Translate or even advanced AI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, but still cannot translate the lesson content correctly in a way that is understandable to normal learners.

We will translate all video lessons, then upload them to the Youtube channel in public mode for the Cardano community in Vietnam to easily learn and get certificates.

We have translated the videos with the subtitles and the quizzes, then:

1. The new videos are posted on YouTube
2. The quizzes are integrated into cView tool

Please define the positive impact your project will have on the wider Cardano community

Translating the course videos will help many people in Vietnam learn official knowledge and be certified by Cardano Foundation.

What is your capability to deliver your project with high levels of trust and accountability? How do you intend to validate if your approach is feasible?

All of our members have completed the CBCA course. On the other hand, we are about half way through the course, and have received very good feedback from the community of learners.

Therefore, we believe we have enough capacity to translate the remaining videos.
