Along the way, Laura will go over responsive layouts that work in different-sized containers and how to use Flex layouts inside Flex layouts.

Thx for the video but why do you have the option for subtitles on YouTube but not on Plugins and Libraries | Penpot Hands-On Demo - Penpot Peertube

And is it possible to add other subtitles languages?

Cool Thx.

Do you think its possible to add multilingual caps?

@almu Will Dutch subtitles be added if subtitles in multiple languages are supported?

It would be great if we could find a way for the community to help contribute subtitles in their own languages. Creating or correcting for accurate subtitles is very time-consuming, even if you’re building upon auto-generated (AI or otherwise) subtitles. And it does require strong fluency in that language!

Have you looked at subtitle edit as a possible solution?
