"Hi, again I have a problem here. Thanks to Amara support, my subtitles once gone after the maintenance were restored and after that I could add some new subtitles to the video I had been working on. That's ok, but when I got back from a couple of days' trip and tried to add new subtitles again, I realized I had to "type whatever I hear". I mean, when I started to translate this video, I translated what the speaker says from English subtitles to Japanese subtitles as I usally do, but now, I have to translate what I hear in the video directly to Japanese. Why is this happening? Does this have something to do with the maintenance? Can anybody help me? " Mami Kawade is member of the TED team and this is about subtitles of a TED team video. I pointed her to Dharma Lee's "I am translating talks, but appears the transcribing system" topic on the same issue in the TED help forum, to which PCF Support (Margarita Shamraeva) replied to use the new editor to get a translation interface. Mami Kawade re-replied she'd done that, but had problems getting the 2 transcripts showing subtitles for the same moment in the video. In the TED support, apart from PCF Support's answer, a how-to about the new editor was added to the Solutions section: http://ted-support.amara.org/support/solutions/articles/107527-the-transcript-is-missing-when-i-resume-my-translation No reply from Amara staff on the general help forum and no tutorial added in the general help solutions section 2013-07-15. Mami Kawade reposted the description of the issue with the new editor on the TED help in http://ted-support.amara.org/support/discussions/topics/25107 2013-07-15

In http://ted-support.amara.org/support/discussions/topics/25107 , PCF Support explained: "There is a small lock icon at the bottom of the left column. If you unlock it, then you can scroll each list of subtitles independently from each other and align them as you wish."

Line breaks missing in subtitles of TED videos - on amara.org and/or on TED.com

See "What happened to all the LINE BREAKS within subtitles? They're all gone now. Does it have to do with the upgrade?" http://support.amara.org/support/discussions/topics/25104 on the Amara general help forum and "Translation published, lines still merged" http://ted-support.amara.org/support/discussions/topics/28326 on the TED help forum

"tatjana jevdjic started a topic 4 months ago - 2013-04-04 I took to revise translation in enlish http://www.amara.org/en/videos/G6nGLoj4LJPJ/info/conserving-our-spectacular-vulnerable-coral-reefs-joshua-drew/ Amara added it to my tasks, but I could not enter in and edit. The message was something like "Sorry you are not allowed..". The problem is that Amara shouldn't permit me to take it in the first place. I would suggest that you make visible when you click on a name of translator all the files he is presently working on Amara, instead of searching members. Best Tatjana"
