CLOSING THE TRANSLATION THREADS

since we are having a lot of arguments in translation threads, why not close them once the translation is done???? Just a suggestion.

What if a less than qualified translator gets there first?

most of the people on PF are quite good, so since it is a free service, the quality is to be questioned in the first place:). I personally make mistakes because I don;t have enough time to check them, so I stopped doing it all together. I am tired of people arguing over the translations. That is all. It ends up being an ego trip for some.

i say we ban honestjohn as that's a personal uncalled for attack and has nothing to do with this thread. closing translation threads seems like a bad idea to me.

intentionally? hmm really haven't seen too many of those and the only ones i have seen were a total joke as the person asking for translation was asking some wierd thing to be translated.

Michal wrote: Everybody on this forum is unqualified. Who or what is a qualified translator? I SO DON'T wanna start arguing with Michal again, but haven't you ever heard of the sworn translators?

plk123 wrote: hat is not a fact, it is an opinion It's fact ! Have you read every single translation thread on this foru,posted in the last 12 months or so ? Well, I have and certainly, in more than a few of them Michal has in fact argued on them. So that is actually factual! plk123 wrote: look up the definitions of these words please. I don't need too. I know my definitions but do you ? If I had assumed that Michal had argued on the threads then that of course would not be factual but I did not assume I based it on evidence which is available for all to read and absorb and make comment as well. Have a nice day!

Admin should name the translators he trusts and give those members a tag. All he has to do is write 'Translator' under the date, on the right-hand side. Then the OP shouldn't have any complaint and the forum keeps its reputation.

miranda wrote: excellent suggestion W Thanks for the suggestion, but it would be like opening a Pandora box. What's next - a little tag for "religion", "sport", "Polish-German relations", "Polish-Russian" relations, "relationship", "human rights" etc. expert? - it would be a full-time job for a few people to administrate it and then try to be objective. Not to mention numerous threads that member X shouldn't be "expert" and member Y should be, etc.

Can I be a 'trusted translator'? I know a few odd phrases, very short sentences and a reasonable number of swear words.
