Vote: YES I can think of no better group of creators to bring the message about Decentraland than Taxir.

Thank you for your support and feedback! We were indeed thinking of adding Arabic subtitle to selected DCL videos and English subtitle to some of ours. Will look more into that!

Agree with **Yes** voters above. It would be useful to hear thoughts of **No** votes here, what are the cons you see in this proposal? @Ammaro, subtitles/captions is a must for any educational video :nerd_face:, I've noticed that you're lacking them currently. Hope you will be enabling them in the future!

AmmaroNov 30, 2022

Thank you for your support and trust Eibriel, means a lot!

EibrielNov 29, 2022

Voting **Yes**, the amount requested is perfectly justified, and the content you showcased has good quality, so I feel confident that you created content will be good as well.

AmmaroNov 21, 2022

Thanks Maryana! Appreciate you taking the time to go through our videos :) We will keep producing content in Arabic on DCL no matter what, but this will give us a solid cornerstone to build upon :beers:

I vote YES on this proposal. The budget is super reasonable for the amount of content that will be created for an un-tapped community in the EMEA region. I also looked at your IG and love the content that you are starting. I look forward to seeing the videos posted and the analytics of the users that come from the EMEA region. I hope this proposal sets an example of the impact of content creation in non-english speaking countries. Until AND if this proposal passes, please continue to make this content for your region.
