I translated a video into English and I made sure all the segments are written; they even appear in the transcript. The problem is that when playing the video three segments just don't appear: 00:08:44, 00:10:98 and 04:52:02.
I have checked the subtitle editor several times but I don't see any reasons that is happening.
Will you also make English subtitles for this video? Even without understanding it,, the acting is compelling.

Thank you very much for your ideas Claude! I realised there was a problem with the time codes, but now it works properly. Some of the first segments are still missing and I will check that with other TED Translators, but it is not a huge problem. Maider

Thank you for your question, Maider.
I wanted to check with a better connection than I had when you posted it, because the video streams from YouTube while the subtitles stream from the Amara server, and that can cause irregularities.
So: when I launch the videos from the times you mention via the transcript that can be activated by clicking the page-like icon at the bottom of the player of http://amara.org/eu/videos/zx3yKskDh9im/info/ez-du-inporta/, the corresponding subtitles do appear in the video too, though maybe with a minimal lag. But I can't be sure because I don't understand Basque at all.
I see you are a member of the TED team: have you perhaps had occasion to collaborate with Basque-speaking members on some videos? If yes, you could contact them via Amara messaging from their profile, asking them to check your subtitles?
