Title
Because I was one of the first organizers...
Text
Submitted by kafetzou
Source language: Engleski

Because I was one of the first organizers in the organization, I'm grandfathered, so I only have to pay $9 per month, whereas the newer organizers have to pay $19 per month.
Remarks about the translation
I'm most interested in the translation of "grandfathered". I wrote this text myself, so if you have any questions, please ask me.

Title
Parce j'étais un des premiers organisateurs
Translation
Francuski

Translated by so2000
Target language: Francuski

Parce que j'étais un des premiers organisateurs dans l'association, je bénéficie La clause de non rétroactivité*, alors j'ai seulement 9$ par mois à payer, tandis que des organisateurs plus récents doivent débourser 19$ par mois.

According to what I found in an online English to French dictionary, I'd rather use the term "association" to translate "organization", first as it avoids an unhappy kind of stumbling way of speaking, and then because members have to pay smthg.
I found "association" here

And about "grandfathered", I think it is meant "seniority, length of service, notion of being upgraded from ground-member to care-member)
so in French we say "bénéficier de l'ancienneté", there isn't any shorter term for that (unless there is, but I don't know it)

"Grandfathered" is from grandfather clause (an exception).

pirulito is right, Francky - is the phrase you chose still correct?

No, I'll use "exemption" instead of "ancienneté", as "grandfathered" is unstranslatable into French, then also because consequences or the grandfather clause consist to exempt people who benefited from the former statute to be submitted to the new one and be injured by this new statute.

Non, je vais remplacer "ancienneté" par "exemption", étant donné que "grandfathered" est intraduisible en français, et puis aussi parceque les conséquences de la "grandfather clause" ont pour effet d'exempter les personnes ayant bénéficié de l'ancienne loi ou de l'ancien réglement d'être soumis à la nouvelle loi et d'être lésés par celle-ci.

I'll just add" loi d'" to "exemption, as this "grandfather" stuff is a legal one...

I had a further look on the internet at how could be translated "grandfather" clause, and it is translated in some Wiki file by : "La clause de non rétroactivité", so as it seems to be a little more accurate, as a translation, than the one I used, I'm going to edit with that...
