Somebody has asked for a translation matching your language preferences.

When you don't know any foreign language, we allow you to use cucumis by giving you %p points every %d days (only when you log in and when you actually need them).

Please check this page for more details.

This user is authorized to translate into "LLL".

I want to be notified by email about new revisions of this article for the following languages

Check this option when you only want the meaning of your text without attention to form. "Meaning only" translations can be done by translators who do not speak the target language fluently, so they may be done more quickly.

Users who copy/paste translations from automatic translation tools (very easy to detect), will surely be banned from the site.

You will be notified by email when translations from "XXX" to "YYY" are requested by other users. You can [1]change your preferences[/1] at any time or [2]edit your profile[/2] to cancel the subscription.

Warning, this translation has not been yet evaluated by an expert, it might be wrong!

Pages to check

A long time since my last post!
There is so much to tell! I will try to do it as quick as possible.

A [url=http://www.techcrunch.com/tag/Cucumis/]nice article[/url] about cucumis was written by Mickael Arrington founder of the famous techcrunch blog reviewing the new web 2.0 products. Despite the article was quite incomplete about what we are doing here, it was very useful to reveal Cucumis to the entire world. Hundreds of blog articles were posted after this article, Cucumis was even featured on Finnish and French television. I've read many of those articles (those I can understand) and I was very pleased to see that most of the writers who tested the service was very satisfied by the quality of the translations we do here. Congratulations to all translators and, of course, to the [link=u_ml_0_exp_]great team of experts[/link].

Now the new features.

[b]This is new[/b] :
- Until now, cucumis was not designed for people who can't speak a foreign language. Now it is! If you can't translate anything, we give you [cid=TC_BONUSPOINTS] points every [cid=TC_BONUSDAYS] day!
- [link=u__]Who is online[/link], [link=u_st_]charts about new members every day, and country ratio[/link].
- [link=t_st_]Translation statistics[/link]. Looking at the pie chart of the translations to be evaluated, you can view the languages in which we need experts (Norwegian, Hungarian, Hindi, Swedish, Kurdish, Arabic, Korean, Albanian ...).

[b]This is very new[/b] :
All members can now add translations in their favorites. You can view the list of your favorite translations from your profile page, and there is also a [link=t_w_0_favever_]top favorite translations list[/link].

[b]This is very very new[/b] :
When the [link=u_ml_0_exp_]experts[/link] can't understand the source text of a translation, they still can evaluate the linguistic form of the translation but they can't for the meaning. Now, for the evalutations they can't do alone, they can [b]ask for the opinion of all cucumis.org members[/b]. According to the informations of your profile, you will be asked now and then to give your opinion on some translations. After collecting enough votes to make up ones mind, the translation is accepted or rejected.

Bye and happy new year to all of you!

"Meaning only" translations are more focused on the meaning than on the form or the grammar. However, even though you don't need to be a fluent speaker of language "XXX", you must have a very good knowledge of both languages (XXX and YYY) to do this translation.

The linguistic form of the translation is fine but I need the opinion of the community to be sure that the meaning is right.
