All translations

They have additional rights but also additional responsibilities. Without their participation, no translation can be validated, that's why they are rewarded with bonus points.

Here are specific advices and rules for Experts or Administrators

Before accepting a translation, make sure it is nearly perfect

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.

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.

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...

Reject or edit?

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.

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.

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

We advise that you translate into your native language

This is the list of the number of characters needed to translate an English text of 100 characters to each language. These values determine the cost (number of points) of each text submitted. The values are automatically improved and upgraded each time a translation is accepted by an Expert or an Administrator.

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%).
