How did you find Cucumis.org?

I was on Wikipedia.org and wanted to get some text translated, so I went to a Usenet newsgroup and on the newsgroup Cucumis was mentioned.

Real egoism... I was looking for a site where I could have a text translated for FREE!
And I found this nice association

hehe I wanted to open a thread like that too. It's really interesting.
In my case, it was just a coincidence. I wanted to have something translated, just for fun, then I forgot about that page for some (long) time, until I found it again and somehow couldn't help logging in regularly, anymore. =)

I was reading a weblog that I usually do, where cucumis was alluded to in the comments. I haven't quit since then.

On a site called how-to-learn-any-language.com. Somebody recommended it, I checked the link out and fell in love....

Someone won a lot of points with my translations, I found cucumis in a forum at orkut.com... Sure it was an affiliation link, hehe.

If you have an orkut account, check your affiliates link and see if I'm there.

I was looking for free translation into Latin (not necessarily automatic) in order to confirm whether my translation of "Only knowledge emancipates" (my personal motto) gives "Scientia sola emancipat". After very heavy googling, I finally found . The rest of the story is already known...

hihihi weeeeeeeell ..... actually i kind of had to do this spanish translation for homework, but i was afraid i didnt use the right grammer, so i tried to find a translation online, and then i saw the watermelon and the kid (nice pic by the way) so i went on the website and i was happy to find it and in the beggining i did a lot of translations, and i still translate what i know, i dont ask much though , because i dont like to wait for the translations, so preety much i just translate ooooook everyone take care ciao

I found out about by reading an article in a (French) Belgian magazine for high school called "Panache"; there was an article about Web 2.0 and it gave Cucumis, next to FlickR and Youtube, as an example of a site that's built around input from different people.

I believe Tristangun (had to) read the same article, hence the fact that we're from the same country and have the same age

Yep Urunghai, same thing

I found it by accident. I was looking for Spanish MP3 lessons to download. I went to a language site which had a link to this site and voila! here I am. I liked the concept of free translation since I believe in sharing of knowledge as opposed to being selfish with it.

Hello Perijove!

"I believe in sharing of knowledge as opposed to being selfish with it."

I believe in your point of view. 100%!!!
You trully have the cucumer spirit... Welcome!

I found it through italki.com

I was looking for language materials

Oh Nice, a member from Italki!

Have a nice time here Milk*tea! (Nice nick, by the way)

Yep welcome milk*tea, we have very few native english speakers that can read chinese .

I found it when I try to find something about translating from Suomi. And I like it at the first look...

love at first sight ^_^

It was UnaSmith that first told me about cucumis.org

She'd already spoken to me about the site a few months before, so when I created my international teratoma forum in May last year, and decided that it should be a multilingual forum, she reminded me about cucumis.

I'm really glad she did, because it was love at first sight for me too

Hey J:

We all loved at first sight, and you loved it at first thought...
