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.

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.

You can also access the translations rejected by the submitter. Those rejected translations will be rare but they must be evaluated in priority.

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.
