Hi laura
Don't worry, it usually takes a while to get to know the website
I can't see the translation you have submitted
Did you submit it as a translation (by clicking on the blue "translate" button or in the discussion under the text / translation? To get points, you have to do it via the "translate" button.
Even if you don't have points, you can still ask for a translation. You will get negative points and after a couple of weeks, these will disappear and you will be back to 0 points
Have a look at the FAQ (in the menu at the top of the page, click on 'help' and then click on 'FAQ' in the menu on the left)
Good luck!
