Hi Kafetzou,
We'd better bring this text back to evaluation...
Could you please take care of it?

Hi Lilian and Kafetzou,
For this sentence :
The more members, the more chances to find a lawyer and to bring justice to the one who dedicated his life to give others the great work!!!

I guess may be :
The more members, the more chances to find a lawyer and to bring justice to the one who dedicated his life to give others will be great, so let's work!!!

the meaning is : by having a lot of members we also have more chances to find a lawyer and to bring justice to the one who dedicated his life to give others.

"Alors au boulot" has the same meaning as "donc mettons nous au travail" I guess "so let's work" is the best way to express that.

OK, although it's hard to evaluate the translation without knowing how far the original one was from the one we finally accept.

Ah - I think I understand it now - the subject of "seront grandes" is "les chances", right?

"alors au boulot" should be "let's get to work" then.

How about "pique-assiettes"? What exactly does that mean? Are they people who always expect to get something for free, or are they more like pick-pockets - people who take from other people illegally?

OK then - "freeloader" is the right translation.
