Timestamps let you add a start and end time for the transcript. This helps Mandala associate a moment in the video with the text. 
Timestamps consist of the following, all on the same line: 
  1. The start time for the transcript in a hh:mm:ss.ms format
    • For media assets shorter than one hour, hours (hh:) are optional
  2.  Two dashes followed by a greater than sign: -->
    • Make sure these don't reformat into arrows (→) automatically. Your transcript will not work otherwise. 
  3. The end time for your transcript in a hh:mm:ss.ms format
    • For media assets shorter than one hour, hours (hh:) are optional

Multilingual Transcripts

Mandala recognizes multilingual transcripts. Separating languages is more flexible in Mandala  This lets you add multiple languages and translations per transcript.  You can separate languages by: 
  1. Putting each language on a new line
  2. Using a sequence of characters to separate languages
    • You can use any set of characters, as long as the set is consistent 
Here's an example using / to separate out languages.
