How does it work?

Text to be translated

Cucumis have been online for 3 days, and I'm glad that almost everybody seems to like it!

First of all I want to thank [b]Aleid[/b] from the Netherlands, who has been a great help on improving the english texts and translating the whole website into dutch, with the help of [userid=8].
Secondly, the german team leaded by [userid=10], [userid=22] and [userid=6], has completed the translation of cucumis.org in 3 days. Thanks to all of them! Turkish, greek, spanish, polish and chinese teams are progressing fast too.

One of the problem detected by [userid=10] is the english "you" which can have different meanings. It's corresponding on cucumis.org to the formal and singular "you".
I noticed too a recurrent problem with the punctuation. When a sentence to be translated is not ending with a point, you may not add a point in the corresponding translation. I know all sentences should end with a point but for websites, we need sometime to join texts together, and a point would disturb.

Coming soon :
- Possibility to send personal messages to registered users
- Start discusions on each translation
- A FAQ for the [cid=M410] section

With about 3000 spoken languages over the world, we hope this website will help us to get to know each other
