So one of the ways that we do this is... yeah there's no substitute for having in the developer... it's actually going out in the world all different places where Netflix is used and testing. So one of my colleagues, Asta, we started on the same day 3 years ago and she got married this past December and she was very foolish. She invited me and Ben and Steve to come to her wedding. And she promised me that it would become like a star of a Bollywood dancer if I could use these moves. So we did go and there on the left that's me in the Delhi subway. And you kind of have to figure that indeed everybody's watching lots of video on there casinoslots nz.
On the middle that's actually where we're in a lake in Udaipur. So that's kind of further north and it's a beautiful lake. And we wanted to test the mobile connectivity and particularly we wanted to test you know how this new mechanism for talking to our back-end using a more advanced edge server called "open connect" and putting some more data through that than we had done before. And so we figured that the best test is to be able to see how soon we could have Arnold Schwarzenegger talking and pumping iron. So when it came up we were all like instantly was like: "I am stronger. I kill you now. I kill all the competitors because we launch faster in the rural India than you do". And on the right side that's British Ben. And we stopped off in Shanghai now. I said that Netflix was available all over the world, there is actually two countries where it's not available. One is China and the other is Syria. So I'm not ready to go to Syria quite yet but I did enjoy going to Shanghai. And there we took the opportunity to see if a downloaded video would start up properly even when you're there. And so we said: "Ben, could you please go test this? What we want you to do is go out in the middle of the busy intersection and see if you can start the mobile stream". And he's like: "What happens if somebody tries to run me over...?". "No it's no problem, just go right onto it, it's fine. You're almost at the right place. Oh how's it going? Is it working, is it working?". And so he did manage to stay alive. So we're happy that we got him back. But these are some of the things that we actually do. I'm being slightly funny but it's actually true. There really is no substitute. So let's start talking about localization. So I have to say one thing is that I actually really do love language a lot. My first job when I was... my last year of university and for one year after I was working at a translation and training company. And that was a fun experience. And so I do speak French, I do speak Italian, I speak excellent fake German. Is there anybody who speaks German in here? Okay, all right. So fake German is very easy. All you have to do is take a bunch of German words and then squeeze them together into a single word that's like 37 syllables long and ends with something about taking pleasure in the observing unhappiness of others. So if you hear Schön for at the end of your phrase you know it's German. But anyway I did you know learn a lot about the idiosyncrasies of different languages and it's turned out to be helpful for that. So let's dive in. So you know as is to be expected you know our development language is English. So all the layouts the designers when they're working... hold on a second... There we go, okay. Normally I don't get out of bed to do a model shoot for 30 thousand rubles. Okay anyway so all the layout is done in English that's the starting language and then you have to take it from there. So this is the screen of the downloads tab in our app and it has this one button right away center find something to download.
