If you record your video in another language, please try to add English subtitles yourself to ensure your message can reach the widest audience. This document explains how you can do this using YouTube (revised document, originally created by the UN OHCHR);
If you record your video in a language other than English and you are not able to add your own subtitles, please send it to us with an English translation in a Word document and we will try to help with this where we have the capacity to support.
