It's really good that you have taken the initiative to translate the original posts into your local language but you should first make a open statement here and announce which threads you are going to translate because it would avoid double works as we have seen in the past.
Okay thanks for the heads up. I guess that's why @fillippone hasn't replied to my translation. I'm sorry for that, but next time I'm working on a translation, I will do well to ask first from the op. I do hope that fillippone do consider my apologies and add my translation to his thread. Thanks once again.
I don't think that is the problem in your case... It's just fillippone is very busy lately, from what I know. I also contacted him a few times and he told me he is very, very busy. So no, this is not "a lesson he's giving you". It's just bad timing (or so I believe).
However, regarding the approach of a translation, Hatchy is correct: it is totally decent and it has a lot of common sense to announce first. Maybe someone else did not announce through a post here that he is doing same translation -- maybe this user announced fillippone through a PM and he received fillippone's approval. In such case, your work would be in vain and frustration would also occur. Besides, I would also recommend to all translators to present the author a preview of their work before publishing it. Maybe the author has some comments or maybe he wants something changed. Maybe he spots some errors. In such cases, all these can be solved nicely and professionally, before the translation is published. Having it published then edited for correcting mistakes does not look good for the translator. And, using ninjastic.space all edits of a post can be seen. So I, from my perspective, would take this approach and this is also what I
require to the users interested in translating
my topics.
