RE: SpongeDocs Indonesian Translation Part 4 - Roughly 1.387 words

in #utopian-io7 years ago

Hi @igbaladan;

First of all, I would like to say thank you for the reviewed of my translation project. It's highly appreciated.

For consideration, speaking about translatable word all the word seems to be translatable unless the word is does not need to be translated such as general term used in specific field eg. technical term or programming term, etc. I refer those word that I don't translated as programing term such as file and whitelist.

In addition, the word "file" has become a common word used in Indonesia, so it become one of Indosesian word by it self, thus the reason i don't translate it.

Furthermore, determine word that need to be translated and not to be translated in programming or technical language is very Challenging. So it would be a common mistake for any one doing the project. as for my case, there is inconsistency in translation, where for the same word, sometime I translated sometime not due to unsure whether it technical or programming word.

Finally, for the above reason, I do hope that my contribution could still be reconsidered for approval. Because I don't think I have break https://utopian.io/rules that should lead to immediate rejection. Since it will be a little bit too much just because two - three word mistakes (and the worlds are debatable), the effort to translate other thousand words is just gone in a waste. I believe my contribution can still be approved referring to one of Utopian regulation:

''All the rules marked as [SOFT] may lead to rejection if you have been notified about the same mistake multiple times. In any other case the Moderator will ask for a change but accept your contribution anyways''.

I also do believe, if I happen to break the Utopian rule, it should be fall under [soft] rule and not immediate rejection. Where it gave room for collaboration between contributor and moderator to make the project work instead of gone in a waste.

Thank you for the attention and looking forward for further input on this.
