We have made a new rule regarding reviews.
From now on you must write the review in TWO languages. One in English, and the other one in your own language! Q: Why? A: It saves a lot of work for our translators. Q: But my language isn't supported by your site, must I still do this? A: Yes. It goes in our database for future translations. In the future your language WILL be supported by us. Q: Can I write it in more languages than just those two? A: Of course! If you know other languages, feel free to translate to all of them! This is the new rule, now comply |

What if English is your native language, do you only have to write one then?

Well, I tried writting in Croatian too (two reviews, but nothing happened to them so I guess my Croatian isn't good enough). I'm not sure it's a good idea that people should try writing in more languages...
You might have more difficoulties correcting their mistakes! IT might even be easier to write the review yourself (not you personaly but whoever is doing it for a certain language) then to go through all the mistakes someone would make (I should know what mistakes bad users of foregin languages make - I correct their esseys all the time). Besides - do you really want a bunch of reviews in Slovene (my native language) as well? I can write them but will there be a Slovene abandonia as well? Just some thoughts and remarks... |

for their own language (Letīs presume me). Then... 1,) How would this basically work? 2,) This site will intend to stay on the net forever (well as long as it is possible), right? 3,) None of the work made would therefore be lost because the lack of intrest from admins, right. Then? |

Also, if you wrote the original review it is easier for you to get your ideas across to your own language. Quote:

Then? [/b][/quote] 1) - Hi. I would like to translate the site to French. - Great! *give the person admin-powers for the French site, and hands out all French reviews from the database* 2) Yes. We're in it for the ride! 3) That is correct. We will store everything and also make back-ups, so no reviews will be lost.

OK - by the end of the weekend you'll have all 15 reviews (that are credited to me) in Slovene...
Let's see what happens! |
