Wonder why I didn't thought of that. Thanks to both of you. I guess that there'll be a new restriction. Luckily, that doesn't change the actual list of languages. TranslatorHack 2010, a human translation chain in a.cc. |

Dario ff said: It'll all be done via PM. If you want me to send you a mail to that address just to inform you that you received the PM, I will. I don't check my mailbox normally, I log in more often to the forum. Allegro.cc informs you nicely that you got a PM(It's so yellow you'll surely notice it). But I actually often don't know when will my next login to allegro.cc is bound to happen, yet gmail has notifier.

Last day for entries people! Remember that if we got 1 more translator of these languages, we can extend the chain. Otherwise, I'll have to kick out people. Quote:
I think someone else can help us here with Swedish easily. So far, we've got 10 translators in the chain.(5 languages) If we get another Spanish speaker(ReyBrujo? Paul whoknows?) we can extend the chain with 2 more translations. If we can reach something like 16 translators or 20, that'd certainly spice things up. BTW, I got some suggestions already for the sentences. They are pretty fun, and we'll see how some of you can translate them. The 5 sentences will have a difficulty curve, the first being something like a simple everyday phrase, and the last one much more complicated.

That's the list of the languages I'm looking for 1 more translator. The actual list of languages is in the first post, and includes Hebrew. TranslatorHack 2010, a human translation chain in a.cc. |

A quick search in the thread shows that you're the only translating from or to Russian. There's another problem though. If another Russian translator showed up, I'd either need 1 more Hebrew translator, or 1 more Russian translator. Since you and Slart are the only ones translating Hebrew, you can assume both of you are going to next to the other one in the chain. I don't think you have a problem with translating from a dog, right kitty? TranslatorHack 2010, a human translation chain in a.cc. |

I'm not a kitty, I'm male! However, if another Russian shows up, what's the issue of me doing both Heb & Rus?

I know I said that you could before, but bamccaig brought up a good reason not to above: bamccaig said: This would compromise the integrity of the "experiment".

The problem is that it could cause to create a biased translation in your second "go" as you'd already know what the text looked like several iterations ago. EDIT: sorta ninja'd ---- |

After attempting a newspaper article translation from German to Polish, I hereby retract my offer to translate from German. Too rusty So, only Polish ⇔ English for me. There were more Polish people onboard: I remember CursedTyrant and (haven't seen him for quite some time) Krzysztof Kluczek, but I don't know if either of them is still active. --------------------------- |

Great, thanks gnolam. That makes 12 translations so far. gnolam said: BTW, there should be more than enough Finns on this forum to do Finnish<->English as well... The only two ones I know of that are regulars here are Johan Halmén and jhuuskon. I don't know if they'll like to participate though...

Yeah, true.. Since it's the same phrase, I can't do it twice.

Ok, I can do Finnish. We still need jhuuskon. My native language is Swedish but I speak 100% Finnish. jhuuskon is a native Finnish speaker. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Years of thorough research have revealed that what people find beautiful about the Mandelbrot set is not the set itself, but all the rest. |

Thanks Johan. Much appreciated. Eeek! It seems I'm running short on a French translator. (Had to sort the list again) I've got one particular person in mind... Though he might add some swearing. Or we could get someone from Canada too. TranslatorHack 2010, a human translation chain in a.cc. |
