Four new translations have been added to OP:
I also added these translations as footnotes inside the original threads.
Thank you sokani, Buchi-88, Porfirii and cygan! Looking forward for future collaborations
Since we had a few confusions about
some members not reading that certain topics are already reserved, maybe we can add a few lines to your OP to require some sort of application procedure, where interested translators are required to leave a reply in your topic to reserve a certain topic and they can only start to translate it, if their application is officially approved by GazetaBitcoin.
My dear 1miau, thank you for your suggestion. I had something like this in mind and since a while now I am also marking the reserved topics inside OP. What I had in mind though was to (1) have a user expressing his intention to translate a topic by
by writing a post about that, combined with having me giving the Go for translation and having me marking the topic as reserved in OP (and specifying this too inside a post) or (2) have a user expressing his intention to translate a topic
by PMing about that, combined with having me giving the Go for translation and having me marking the topic as reserved in OP (and specifying this too inside a post).
As you see, in both cases, an intention for a translation is properly highlighted inside the topic, by a post and also by an update of OP.
So there is an application procedure, although not a
standardized one
Just an idea how it could look like [...]
Of course it's up to you how / if such an application process will be added but after our incident, it came to my mind to require a #reserve post to get officially accepted for translating certain topics and to avoid future incidents.
I would not go that far though and require a
standardized application... And I'll explain why: as you see, there is already an approval system applied, in a way or another. Users express their wish for translations by posts or by PMs; I give them green light for translation; I announce that inside the topic; I mark the reserved topics inside OP.
However, if there is someone which does not bother to read OP nor last few posts of the topic, that user will certainly not see a reserved topic either if that reservation is made by using "regular words" or a standardized application (like the code sequence you suggested). So practically it would be a work in vain, because if someone does not pay attention, he will not pay attention to any kind of topic update. Does this make sense?
