Ok, so I was looking at the Kurzgesagt English YouTube channel and noticed that LingQ has a course for their content. The most recent updating of that LingQ course was about a year ago.
How can we ensure that these sorts of materials kept updated? If the original person who shared it doesn’t update, what happens?
You are free to import any YouTube video you are interested in yourself.
I am well aware.
However, that doesn’t answer my question.
O yes. It does. You can ensure yourself that the materials keep updated. Just visit the YouTube channel and import the lessons you want. Then the material will be updated for you.
Having courses available for everybody saves people time and effort. If there’s any way of helping curate content in the library (correcting spelling mistakes and updating courses), I’d be happy to help towards that effort.
One of the biggest features of LingQ is its large content library. Keeping that complete and up-to-date is certainly worthwhile.
I imported this course but there is no way to import new videos anymore because there is no subtitles for new videos on kurzgesagt channel.
Thanks for the hard work done up until that point, kurdavar.h!
I was looking at some newer videos recently and they had subtitles. Perhaps the situation has changed? If not, could AI transcription be of any use? I’m happy to work on that, if I can figure out how to do it.
hi Heshel – see here for the entry point to become a Linq “Librarian”:
There’s various guides and I think a few you tube videos etc. showing how to import material for yourself.
I suggest learning and importing a few high-quality lessons for yourself first, to see if it’s something you’d enjoy doing.
I’ve imported lessons to LingQ (several times in the past) and other similar software. I think I’ve got that part down!
Thanks for the link! 
i will take a look and see if i can import new videos.
I cheked up all new kurzgesagt videos on youtube. no one has subtitles.
This is up to lingq to find a way to import videos without subtitles on youtube.
If you want to keep material updated, then what you want to do as Leonkwek pointed out is to become a LingQ Librarian. However, if you decide not to become one, you can just import lessons for yourself and mark them as public in lesson editor. This way anyone can access them. Just make sure that the quality is high, and also make sure that you’re not sharing anything under copyright.
That’s weird… all of them have subtitles on my end. I wonder what is happening.
I will strongly consider doing it. Thanks!
I guess the subtitles you see are created automatically by youtube. these type of subtitles are not possible to be imported.
No, it says English and autogenerated English subs are another item on the list.
anyway, there is a problem importing these videos.
I hope lingq answer this confusing aitua
