      I have a land there just 20 min from Mindo.
      You maybe in Perú now.
      Next time will be.
      Bon voyage!!!

      So sad you're leaving. I know there's so much to discover there in Ecuador.
      But I'm SO EXCITED you're heading to Peru.. it's just as beautiful there too!
      When you go there check out Lima, the Nazca lines, Cuzco, & of course Machu Picchu 👍

      Oh no! You’re leaving. You have to come back in Mindo one day to go to Mindo Lindo to see the hummingbirds and to my friend’s Cabaña Armonia y Jardin de Orquideas. You can take a tour of the hotel garden to see a lot of different orchids. Taty and her mother know a lot about them and you can also see hummingbirds there, toucans, motmots and other birds

    I enjoyed watching this episode. My parents decided to move to Ecuador in 2011 from the USA. They live north of Quito and love it. I have visited them 3 times. We went to Mindo the 1st 2 times and we also stayed at Casa Amarillo. Bird watching is my favorite hobby and I am enjoying the butterflies too. I have posted many birding videos on my channel, including trips to Ecuador, Colombia and Honduras.

    Would you consider modifying the RUclips subtitle configurations on your channel to allow for language toggling? We're a multilingual family, and typically gather around for viewing on a big screen via a Roku. If a channel doesn't set this up in advance, we're not able to "auto translate" as one can on a p/c. You may be familiar with Ayngelina's channel. If you're not, here's one of her recent videos. ruclips.net/video/TKroRtlo0oc/видео.html
    I've asked her how she does this. She explained 2 techniques. The simple way is to let RUclips determine what you're saying in a video, and allow them to translate it to the languages you choose. The other fashion is to upload a text file to tell RUclips exactly what you're saying, and have a more precise translation. To be clear, we're not asking you to take the time to submit a Text file, however would you be kind enough to allow RUclips to display subtitles in Spanish (Ideally Latin American Spanish)? It would facilitate a happy harmony for us to watch more of your videos in a group setting, and we'd be very appreciative.
    Have a great day,
    Pedro

    • @EricandSarah
      @EricandSarah  2 года назад +1

      Hi, thanks for explaining this. Unfortunately, RUclips will only auto-generate one set of subtitles and because our channel is in English, that is the language it will do for free. Translating to Spanish would require us to do so manually (or pay someone to do so). It is something we would love to do in the future though!

    • @pedroblanco8311
      @pedroblanco8311 2 года назад

      ​@@EricandSarah Thanks for your response. You're right, however after allowing RUclips/Google to auto-generate the subtitles, if you go back in under settings, you can choose how many additional languages you'd like to have displayed. You wouldn't have to pay anyone, or manually type it in. Thanks for looking under the configurations hood.
