Add multilingual support (Russian) for Anthropic Academy training videos on Skilljar
Problem
I'm a paying Max plan subscriber ($200/month) and want to improve my Claude Code skills through Anthropic Academy at anthropic.skilljar.com. However, all training videos (Claude Code in Action, Introduction to Subagents, MCP topics, etc.) are only available in English with no subtitles or translations.
As a non-native English speaker (Russian), this creates a significant barrier to learning and getting the most value from the subscription.
What I tried
- Enabled CC in JW Player — no subtitle tracks available for most videos
- Attempted to use VOT (Voice Over Translation) browser extension to auto-translate — Yandex API cannot fetch videos from
cdn.jwplayer.com(server-side restriction) - Using Easydict for on-page text translation, but this doesn't help with video content
Request
Any of the following would help non-English speaking customers:
- Add English subtitles/captions to all Skilljar videos (even auto-generated would help)
- Provide transcripts alongside video lessons
- Add multilingual subtitle support (starting with major languages: Russian, Chinese, Japanese, Spanish, etc.)
- Make video URLs accessible for third-party translation tools (currently
cdn.jwplayer.comblocks automated access from translation services)
Context
- Plan: Max ($200/month)
- Platform: Claude Code CLI (macOS/Safari)
- Skilljar courses affected: all video-based courses
- Primary language: Russian
Investing in localization of training materials would significantly improve the experience for international customers who are paying premium prices but can't fully utilize the educational resources.
