Darn, I'd hoped to get to this today, but it doesn't look like I will.  Short answer is that, yes, there's a way!

Very cool that you did this.  I hadn't see universalsubtitles.org

Here's how I would propose we do this:

 First need to enter all the urls for the subtitled videos:

subtitle videos+Search

help edit space_dashboard

cards+howto video+subtitled video url

more_horiz

open_in_full page

fullscreen modal

edit edit

space_dashboard advanced

nesting+howto video+subtitled video url

more_horiz

open_in_full page

fullscreen modal

edit create

space_dashboard advanced

types+howto video+subtitled video url

more_horiz

open_in_full page

fullscreen modal

edit create

space_dashboard advanced

Setting+howto video+subtitled video url

more_horiz

open_in_full page

fullscreen modal

edit create

space_dashboard advanced

Then we need to add this to howto video+*right+*structure (which configures all the X+howto cards):

subtitle videos+html to append

help edit space_dashboard

Watch this video with subtitles

At that point there will be two links on the cards card, so we'll want to take the current one off.

I doubt I got all that right, but it should be close :)

btw, Larry, I'm not assuming you'll do all the subtitle work, but whoever gets to it first can input the subtitle links above. Thanks again for initiating this.

I just noticed this, and it occurred to me that it might be a simpler alternative: using the "widgetizer" scriptlet that they publicize on the front page of their site. I'm not sure how you feel about loading a third party's JavaScript code on every page, but it would automatically enable Universal Subtitles for every video on the site, those existing now and those posted in the future, no further work required.
