Umseting - Enskt-Hollendskt - sod off

Are their restrictions to allowed translations as this term might be perceived provocative?

Yes. If it is proven to be offensive, we'll remove it.

English experts, could you take a look here, please? Thanks!

Hi,

As I learned sod off is sort of an English English word for F--k off. I don't know how offensive it is, but in any rate, if it is a request only to translate one word they could go to an online dictionary. If the question is about slang being offensive, I think that we should not censor slang, but probably should not allow racially offensive, explicitly pornographic material, or sexist translations simply because they are in bad taste. I do not think if I found sod off in an otherwise acceptable translation I would reject the translation.

ok thanks

I don't think "sodemieter op" or "sod off" is thát offensive, really.
That's why I decided to translate it, if it would have been clearly offensive, I wouldn't have.

I don't think it's as offensive as "F--k off!" - it's more like "Get lost!".

I would add that our "job" is to translate, and not to "judge" what others wish to have translated. As long as a text is not of a racist character, or incites pedophilia, we should not let our personal opinion interfere with the contents of a text.

I agree. If somebody wants to know what something means, and one of us knows, why not share that knowledge?
