    Perchè non sono disponibili tutorials in italiano o quantomeno con sottotitoli in italiano?
    Perchè i tutorials in inglese sono così rapidi da non consentire una facile comprensione delle procedure da eseguire?
    Se si deve spiegare efficacemente qualcosa, occorre utilizzare tempi più dilatati e spiegare passo passo tutto quello che l’utente deve fare per conseguire un certo risultato.
    Sono un V/s utente da oltre 10 anni e nulla è mutato al riguardo. E’ davvero grave.

      Ciao Vincenzo,
      Per vedere i sottotitoli nella tua lingua:
      – Fai clic sull’icona “Settings/Impostazioni” nell’angolo in basso a destra del video player
      – Fare clic su “Subtitles/Sottotitoli” e selezionare la lingua
      – Se la tua lingua non è elencata, fai clic su “English (auto-generated)/Inglese (generato automaticamente)”, quindi fai clic su “Traduzione automatica” e seleziona la lingua.
      Distinti saluti
      Discovery Center team
