OK Go!, a Grammy Award–winning rock band originally from Chicago, has teamed up with the Universal Subtitles project for a translation party.

The free, open, flexible Universal Subtitles tool can now be used to subtitle the band’s videos in as many languages as possible. This was done as a way of raising interest in adding subtitles to all the Web’s video.
It’s a boon to translators who want to share culture beyond one language, and also great for assistive captioning and, of course, Downfall-style parody videos.

This project belongs to the nonprofit Participatory Culture Foundation, who are also behind the Miro open video player.
