Due to current limitations on YouTube, captions are “burned in” to these Haitian Creole videos. The YouTube caption system, which allows viewers to choose whether to display captions, does not include Haitian Creole on its menu of over 180 languages. This lack of support for Haitian Creole is unfortunate and ironic, as one goal of this course is to dismantle the devaluing of languages like Haitian Creole and their speakers. And it is all the more disappointing since Google (which owns YouTube) does include Haitian Creole in its Google Translate service, to which the course instructor (Michel DeGraff) and his colleagues at MIT and Haiti have contributed through a collaboration (http://news.mit.edu/2017/mit-haiti-google-team-boost-education-kreyol-1031) between Google and the MIT-Haiti Initiative (http://haiti.mit.edu).  Michel DeGraff and the OCW team have requested that YouTube add Haitian Creole to its caption system, and look forward to a resolution soon.
 
Akoz limitasyon nan YouTube konsènan soutit nan videyo, n oblije mete soutit yo dirèk dirèk nan vèsyon kreyòl yo. Lojisyèl pou soutit nan YouTube, ki pèmèt entènot yo chwazi si yo vle wè soutit yo, pa gen kreyòl ladan malgre lojisyèl YouTube la ofri plis pase 180 lang.  Se regretan YouTube pa ofri opsyon soutit an kreyòl. Mank sa a pi dwòl toujou dèske youn nan objektif videyo sa yo se konbat prejije k ap toupizi lang kreyòl yo ansanm ak moun ki pale lang sa yo.  Sa pi regretan toujou lè n sonje se konpayi Google ki mèt YouTube epi Google Translate gen kreyòl ladan.  Epi tou, pwofesè ki nan videyo sa yi (Michel DeGraff) ansanm ak kolèg li yo nan MIT epi ann Ayiti  te kontribye yon glosè tèm teknik pou syans ak matematik nan Google Translate.  Kontribisyon sa a te fèt nan kad kolaborasyon (http://news.mit.edu/2017/mit-haiti-google-team-boost-education-kreyol-1031) ant Google ak Inisyativ MIT-Ayiti (http://haiti.mit.edu).  Michel DeGraff ansanm ak OCW mande pou YouTube ajoute kreyòl nan sistèm soutit la.  N espere pwoblèm sa a ava rezoud anvan ti poul fè dan.
