Cucumis have been online for 3 days, and I'm glad that almost everybody seems to like it!

First of all I want to thank [b]Aleid[/b] from the Netherlands, who has been a great help on improving the english texts and translating the whole website into dutch, with the help of [userid=8].
Secondly, the german team leaded by [userid=10], [userid=22] and [userid=6], has completed the translation of cucumis.org in 3 days. Thanks to all of them! Turkish, greek, spanish, polish and chinese teams are progressing fast too.

One of the problem detected by [userid=10] is the english "you" which can have different meanings. It's corresponding on cucumis.org to the formal and singular "you".
I noticed too a recurrent problem with the punctuation. When a sentence to be translated is not ending with a point, you may not add a point in the corresponding translation. I know all sentences should end with a point but for websites, we need sometime to join texts together, and a point would disturb.

Coming soon :
- Possibility to send personal messages to registered users
- Start discusions on each translation
- A FAQ for the [cid=M410] section

Hello all, and thanks for your support. The translation of the user interface is progressing fast, Spanish, Esperanto and Russian are already online. Greek, Hebrew and Romanian are nearly completed. Swedish, Chinese (simplified), Nepali and Arabic are progressing nicely.

The Cucumis.org engine is now nearly ready. I had a dream to build a huge community of translators to help interesting and useful multilanguage projects. In fact, Cucumis still needs to find its way and its users. We really need your feedback and your thoughts. [link=f]The forum[/link] is now running and is waiting for your ideas.

About five days passed since the last news update and Cucumis.org is now implemented in three new languages:
- Turkish translated for the most part by [userid=7] and helped by my old friend [userid=17].
- Catalan translated in only one day by the translation dream team: [userid=37] and [userid=34].
- Japanese translated by [userid=38] and helped by [userid=41].

That seems so easy to say, but it means a lot of work and I thank you all for the trust you placed in Cucumis.org.
We are now ready to welcome Mr. Googlebot but he seems to be a little shy...

Languages coming soon : Spanish (90% completed), Esperanto (85%), Russian (50%) and Greek (50%).

When you are not sure, we advise you to start a discussion about the translation to require the help of other members.

When there are too many errors, please look at the profile of the translator. If the translator is new to Cucumis.org, please send him or her a personal message including the reasons of the rejection.

Take into account the amount of work accomplished by the translator. If there are only a few words to modify or a point to add, we advise you to edit the translation and accept it. You won't get any points for editing but you get points each time you accept or reject a translation.

Reject or edit?

The translation must take into account the specific rules of the target language. For example in Spanish the reverse interrogation or exclamation point comes before the sentence, in Japanese the sentences end with "。" ( not with "." ) and there is no space before the next sentence, etc...

The translation must follow the punctuation, the uppercases and lowercases of the original text. For example if there is no point at the end of the sentences of the original text, there must not be a point in the translated text.

First of all the translation must respect the meaning of the original text. It must be written with a rich vocabulary by a fluently speaking translator.
