thank you for your kindness
I have a question. I can see "/" in hebrew
that you've translated.
What does that mean?

I posted 2 times resently and you translated both.
And they all have "/"

Could you tell me about that

Thank you, again

schizo,

You're welcome, the aim is to help each other

Watch out, this translation still needs a confirmation from an expert, then you can use it and that is for you good.

The slash sign "/" means "or". So, as here the translation is not evaluated yet, means that it could be wrong, also, the expert will choose one of these words where the “/” is…

I'll stop using it in the translation itself but in the comments area

Hi CK & Schizo,
I corrected the sentence.

CK - it is indeed a good idea not to use "/" in the translations. Our (ie, the experts') job is not to correct and edit translations, but rather accept or reject them. We sometimes *do* small corrections when there are not to many of them, but you shouldn't rely on that when you translate.

Hello milkman, C.K. and Schizo.
Reading the English text, I can't see that it makes any sense, so this text should not have been translated, but notified to an admin for remotion with these messages :

[6] PROOFREAD YOUR TEXT. If you have written or transcribed the text yourself, please check it out for errors, even if you don't know the language it is written in. Texts containing errors are very difficult to translate.

[7] EXPLAIN THE CONTEXT. Write a comment about your request, explaining the context. Unclear texts can lead to removal.

Well, if this is correct English I've got nothing to say, I didn't know one could say "the tomorrow", for instance, what seemed weird to me is that : "the tomorrow the dead...
It really is ressembling some automatic translator's style, displaid in a "robotic" way!

Of course meaning is understandable, and it is a meaning only request, so nothing to say, you're right. Just that if someone talked this way to me in English I'd let her/him repeat several times before I can understand as you could see...
