[SOLUTION] Please describe your proposed solution

This is an expansion and enhancement of the proposal Rewards for translators in the community was funded in Fund 7 and completed.

I. Reasons for us to implement the proposal 

1. We are the largest group providing information about the Cardano project in Vietnam. We have: A Telegram group with more than 2700 quality members, YouTube channel with more than 20 thousand subscribers. Website aggregates information Cardano.vn. In addition, we also organize classes teach about blockchain. 

2. We have produced videos from IOG, Cardano Foundation, Charles Hoskinson... with Vietnamese subtitles that are well received and appreciated by the Vietnamese community. To increase the appeal and convenience for the community, we have developed videos with Vietnamese captions. Explanation videos has really attracted great attention and interaction from the community. That is what motivated us to make this proposal.

3. Our published translation videos are well received and appreciated by the community (Video Hoskinson, Cardano360, Plutus, Marlowe ……). We are well aware of the importance of videos translated directly from the original video to the Cardano Vietnam community and the expansion of the Cardano platform in general. Therefore, we will improve the video by having attractive voice narration to attract viewers.

4. The scale of the Cardano community in Vietnam is growing strongly, the need for new users to learn about Cardano is growing, requiring documents and news about the Cardano Blockchain platform to be updated in a timely and timely manner. Understandably, it attracts many people.

5. The development roadmap of the Cardano platform needs to be presented accurately and more accessible to the community to build their trust.

6. Documents and videos of the Cardano Blockchain platform from IOG, Charles Hoskinson, Cardano Foundation have many new and confusing specialized terms that make it difficult to access and understand the essence, even for qualified translators Advanced English. Therefore, there is a need for more quality translators along with a reward to recognize them to motivate and encourage the spirit of that contribution.

7. The number of documents and news from IOG, Charles Hoskinson, Cardano Foundation is constantly updated, so the number of translators cannot keep up with the needs of the community. It is necessary to increase the number of translators combined with contributions from the community with worthy incentives.

II. Calculate impact

1. For Cardano Vietnam community members: both contribute to community development and update documents and news about the Cardano platform accurately and promptly with translation products. For the current Cardano Vietnam Community, translating videos of the Cardano ecosystem helps expand communication reach and increase understanding of Cardano for free; Stay updated on the development progress of the Cardano Blockchain platform to have proper awareness and trust in the Cardano ecosystem. In particular, members participating in translation have the necessary income, which will help them stick with the Cardano ecosystem for a long time and they are the driving force to attract and expand the Cardano Vietnam community.

2. For those unfamiliar with the Cardano ecosystem: Having translated documents from the Cardano Foundation, IOG, Charles Hoskinson into Vietnamese is a key factor in attracting and cultivating a diverse development community format, creating a supportive environment for newcomers who want to participate and learn about Blockchain technology in general and the Cardano ecosystem in particular; have the opportunity to easily access and learn about the Cardano ecosystem in the local language and perhaps also make efforts to contribute to the development of the Cardano community in Vietnam. 

3 Important effects of videos narrated in Vietnamese: help build and develop the Vietnamese Cardano community on par with the global Cardano community. The Cardano platform aims to create a decentralized development ecosystem in which developers from all over the world can jointly contribute to the construction and development of the project. Explanatory videos in Vietnamese are a bridge to help transfer knowledge and skills between different national development teams, creating a multi-cultural and multi-racial collaborative environment.

III. Unique features of the solution: 

1. The solution to narrate videos about Cardano in Vietnamese is the first and only solution in Vietnam for the Vietnamese Cardano community.

2. All videos about Cardano will be narrated in Vietnamese by a close, friendly, and inspiring voice. 

3. Help many communities in need to access knowledge about Cardano blockchain even when they take the bus, wait for a plane, jog, cook... Saves time and helps expand more users.

4. Basic terms and concepts about Blockchain and the Cardano ecosystem will be explained accurately, simply, and easily understood.

5. We use AI voice to minimize (save 18000 ADA) budget costs.

VI. Implementation process

1. Project manager selects video (or community member recommends video) from YouTube channel IOG, Hoskinson, Cardano Foundation and updated partner channels list of translation suggestions. 

2. Translation team members register to translate. After confirmation, the translation member is responsible for completing the Vietnamese translation on time to receive the reward (if not completed on schedule, it will be transferred to another member of the community).

3. The Vietnamese translation will be reviewed by a senior consultant. Once completed, the translation will use AI (vbee.vn) to read the translation into a Vietnamese Audio file. 

4. Next, the video editor will complete the original video with Vietnamese voiceover.

5. Our products and outputs are videos from the YouTube channels of IOG, Cardno Foundation, Charles Hoskinson... narrated in Vietnamese and updated on the YouTube channel.

6. At the latest, after 48 hours of videos published by YouTube channels, we will have a Vietnamese voice-over video product on the YouTube channel to accurately and quickly update content from the Cardano ecosystem for the Vietnamese community. . 

7. We will update work progress at online job update board. 

8. We will measure the product's effectiveness through current community views and interactions for each video we complete.

9. With the potential of the Cardao ecosystem and the strong development of the Vietnamese community, our output will be a source of long-term value.

[CAPABILITY & FEASIBILITY] 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?

1. We are the largest group providing information about the Cardano project in Vietnam

- A Telegram group with more than 2700 quality members, 

- Youtube channel specializing in Cardano

- Information synthesis website Cardano.vn. 

- In addition, we also have classes about blockchain. 

These are good foundations and ideal conditions for our products to disseminate knowledge to the community as quickly as possible.

2. We successfully completed this proposal when we received Catalyst Funding in fund 7, and successful completion of funded proposals fund 9, Fund 10, 03 proposals in fund 11 and 04 fund proposals 12. Therefore, that is the basis for us to continue to propose Cardano Videos narrated in Vietnamese for Vietnamese people

3. The Cardano ecosystem is still in the development and completion stage, Videos from IOG, Cardano Foundation, Charles Hoskinson...published regularly. Although not funded, but translation group Since Fund 7 is still growing, members of the Cardano Vietnam community continue to participate in free translation videos (776 free translation videos) to update news as well as the development roadmap of the Cardano ecosystem and translation videos are still well received by the community, which is a testament to the Cardano community's responsibility and attachment to the ecosystem.

In particular, in November 2023, the Cardano Summit 2023 event took place in Dubai, the group produced nearly 50 video explanations in Vietnamese within 1 month for free for the Vietnamese community.

5. Many members of the translation team are also managers for projects funded with funds 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, fund 12, which is a very good condition for us to complete the work as committed. easily.

6. However, during the proposal implementation process, we also identified 2 risks: 

6.1. Risk 1: some new technical terms are not properly understood. Our solution is: discussion in the translation team and consultation with Blockchain experts to properly understand and provide accurate information to the community.

6.2. Risk 2: number of videos from IOG, Cardano Founditon, Charles Hoskinson updated continuously, the community does not have enough time to reach. Solution: we work full-time, constantly update and select the most important and core videos to translate; In addition, we will summarize the content of the remaining videos to help the community quickly access the main content. Brief news about Cardano.

[VALUE FOR MONEY] How does the cost of the project represent value for money for the Cardano ecosystem?

With the above cost for 1 minute of Vietnamese explanation video completed in Vietnam at the time currently 7$ (equivalent to ADA's current price of 20.5 ADA), Our proposal requires a budget of 15 ADA/minute which is modest. 

We allocate the budget and funding requirements above based on the budget allocation table that the community appreciates in the proposal. “Rewards for translators in the community” Funded in fund 7. There, the proposal only stops at creating Vietnamese subtitles, video viewers must read the subtitles. In phase 2 of the proposal, we improve by providing video narration, viewers only need to listen , creating a feeling of closeness, ease of access, and blind people can also access news and knowledge about the Cardano Blockchain. 

In particular, we carry out much of the work done in the project without charge, with contributions from the community to reduce project costs.

The proposed cost will be a worthy reward for community members who make positive contributions to the development of the Cardano Vietnam community, while also encouraging the attraction of new people to join the Cardano ecosystem.
