For each major release, Moodle HQ creates a number of screencasts to showcase step-by-step new features and improvements. Certain screencasts, starting with Moodle '''3.2''' have translations enabled.
This means the subtitles may be translated online, on YouTube. ''(Note not all HQ screencasts have this feature enabled.)''
 
You can find all Moodle HQ videos for the Learn Moodle Basics 3.x series at https://www.youtube.com/c/moodle/playlists when you scroll down to "Learn Moodle: A collection of Video Tutorials".
