The answer to those questions is, no, it is not ok. And if it's not ok to do it ten times, it's not ok to do it twice.
I know how hard a translation (and I mean a real one) could be, I have done it for this post, and I have people very close to me that have been doing this for a living for a loooong time, so beleive me when I say that I know what I am saying. Still not ok, and is discouraged by the community. Like we said in the post, the reward pool is NOT infinite.
I have also done translations professionally 8 years. And also know what I am talking about.
That argument would be valid if the users were FORCED to vote for all translations. And they are not. So I can’t agree with you on this one.
The thing is, and it's clearly stated in the post, that it is not ME, but the community.
