Topic: [OFNT] [AOBT] The Alliance Of Bitcointalk Translators - page 52. (Read 22488 times)

We have already proposed a topic to translate, but I have just seen that there is a Bitcoin pizza day contest alive and not many people are aware of it: Bitcoin Pizza bake-off contest! Enter by June 1.

There are only a few days left until it ends, so I recommend to translate and publish it in our respective local boards to increase the awareness on the contest. And to participate, of course, in this delicious competition.

Let's see if this is enough time, and if you like this topic and we make enough translations in these few days I will add them to the list of translations finished.

Thank you, I will do the translation right at the beginning of next week after the Pentecost weekend, maybe it will work out tomorrow before the long weekend.


Thank you so i will reserve and translate.

The topic [Script] Imgur to TalkImg - automatically fix your broken images written by TryNinja and proposed by Buchi-88 has just been added to our list of Translations IN PROGRESS.

Please, let me know here or in private message when you finish your translations in your corresponding local boards so I can update the list in real time with all the available languages. I will translate it into Spanish too in the next few days.

Keep it up!

you have my vote and you are welcome to work on the translation👍

Gazeta proposed the sentence above. Although I think that we should agree on a unique formula for all, I don't think anything will happen if, for the moment, we each use the one we like the most.

On the other hand, new topics for translations can be proposed by anyone, member of the Alliance or not. If no new topic is proposed in this thread in the few days, I will propose one myself. Edit: I've just seen Buchi-88's proposal in the last post and it seems fine to me.

Thank you for the favor Pmalek, we will be happy to invite Croatian members to our gang .

Thank you Buchi-88!

I think this is a great proposal, continuing with the topic about images displayed in the forum. If nobody disagrees or has a better proposal in the next few hours I will add it to the list

Since there have been problems with Imgur lately, there is now a script for fixing Imgur images here in the forum, it would certainly be helpful to translate them into the available languages.

[Script] Imgur to TalkImg - automatically fix your broken images

I would reserve the translation in German if @cygan and @1miau you are not already working on it?

i have been practicing this for several weeks in my german and polish translations. in all other (earlier) translations i added the note at the end of each translation

I mentioned that you guys are looking for a Croatian translator in our local Latest News thread. It's one of the most active discussions in the Croatian local board. I hope you find who you are looking for.

Maybe we will add 1 line to each translation?

Who has new topics for translation?

Thread Updated   

Hey Pmalek, thanks for your offering! I'm sure that it would help if you could make that post you mentioned in your local board

In fact, no intent to abuse your trust, but if you feel like translating the OP of this ANN we will be delighted to have such a respectable standard-bearer in the Croatian board, regardless of who the future main translator will be. But maybe you are too busy or you think that it is better to leave the ANN for the future main translator because this way he'll be able to moderate it. So, as you please, without obligation

If I had some more time on my hands throughout the day, I would apply and do some translations myself, so as not to lose touch. Unfortunately, I can't help you on that front. I wouldn't mind making a post in our Croatian local board on your behalf if you want asking if there is someone interested in joining the Alliance Of Bitcointalk Translators. Perhaps they don't know about your initiative and don't frequent the Services board, but would like to take part. Let me know.

Since you mentioned them, Trofo has already shown his sympathy with the initiative and even offered his help with Croatian off the record (his time is limited, with many different ongoing projects), and GazetaBitcoin talked some time ago with Pmalek and the sensations were similar if I'm not wrong. But I agree with you that it would be great if we could also find somebody to help us with pro bono translations from time to time.

BTW, I have not forgotten about sharing the "decalogue" with the new members, but taking into account the latest events I'm thinking about how to propose a few updates so that it looks better. If any of you is waiting for them, please, have a little patience with me.

fine!
maybe Trofo or Pmalek (sorry for not mentioning other very active users from the croatian local board - there are just too many of them ) could find us a translator from their section who could then join our alliance.

You are right that several native members corrected him in Portuguese and you also did it with the format and other mistakes. In fact, as we don't speak all languages, posting in the local boards should be the ultimate test to assess the quality of different translations.

In his favor I must say that he has received some Merits from other native members, he is doing this for free and that he has shown interest in the past when he created his own topic where he said:


That's why we invited him before other senior members. We as a team are growing little by little, and I personally would prefer to be patient and let him grow with us.

But as you already recommended his removal, let's discuss about it in private and vote, if necessary.

Don't worry, you're doing your job and we are doing ours

You're right cygan. I have just updated the list of available languages.

Chinese will be difficult because not many natives visit this board, and the same happens with Korean and Japanese, although AHOYBRAUSE is willing to help with the latter (he's not native, but living there right now).

But for all the languages you mention, active members who are also native translators will be welcome if they want to join us, or anyone can vouch for another candidate.

i went through our great memberslist and it looks like there are still some users missing who could be translators for the following languages/local boards:

although i am already very proud of our AOBT gang, i would still be pleased about any new translator

Thanks for the tip. In the next OP update I will do this.
With so many updates, any day you guys get mad at me. 

At same time, Romanian ANN has also been updated with latest corrections.

One small suggestion to joker_josue: maybe it would be better to add a hyperlink on TryNinja's profile too? I mean here:

At same time, I strongly recommend to remove gagux123 from translators list as he is simply unable to perform translations. He translated one of my topics on May 2nd but he simply made a mess from that translation. Multiple Portuguese users pointed him out severe mistakes he did regarding the content itself.

I, on my side, sent him a PM on May 2nd, pointing him out some other errors he made, related to text formatting, which was not following the original content. He replied after 2 weeks saying he is sorry and that he fixed all errors. 90% of the errors I sent him were still there. He sent then another PM, saying he will make all fixes needed. He contacted me once more, saying he fixed everything -- and, again, another lie.

This user is either unable to make translations or he is simply not giving a dam about his work. This is totally unacceptable!

Following the formatting of the original content and making a correct translation is a sign of respect for the author, first of all, and also for your work. If someone reads a mess of a translation he may believe that the author also wrote a mess and the translator only translated the mess of the author.

Furthermore, replying once in 2 weeks is also totally unacceptable! If there is a client which buys translations in multiple languages, including Portuguese; then if gagux123 makes a mess of that translation, the client will simply not buy it and he will be disappointed. He may also make bad public comments for the entire group (and it would be totally understandable!!!), affecting AOBT's reputation as a whole. Furthermore, if the client would contact him and tell him what errors to fix and gagux123 will reply after 2-3 weeks saying he fixed everything while, in fact, he did not do it -- how would that client feel?!

I've also had some interactions in the past with gagux123 and each time he replied after 2-3 weeks.

He is not serious, not reliable and also unable to perform translations. I recommend his elimination from the group and, if anybody interested in buying translations in Portuguese sees this post -- avoid dealing with this user!

Thank you for your update joker_josue and congratulations for the new additions to the service and the successful reception from the Bitcointalk community: I will create a brand new account in TalkImg.com in the next few days, with the newly increased bandwidth and space, so my images will never again be unavailable in the forum and I'll be able to say goodbye to our old friend:



BTW, Spanish ANN has been updated with the latest corrections. 

PRESS RELEASE
I inform you that I have made updates to the OP:
> In "Features" two lines are strikethrough, which will be removed in the next update.
> Remaining points indicated as "new".


Thank you for your translations.
