Quoting seyit: Quoting longinotti1: ... Quoting lady in red: ... Hopefully this will be helpful to people wanting to improve their English - we are here to help each other.
|
I agree but I wonder that it will make threads longer and more complicated for the requestors. Maybe the native speakers should PM us?
Secondly, when the ultimate receipient KNOWS that the sender doesn't speak TUrkish. Doesn't a "3" translation seems more honest?
|
Lady in Red's post gave a new breath to turkishclass.com. I saved Bod's categories on my notepad.
I think long threads are useful and benefical for learners and help for best translations. |
Could you look at this question? http://www.turkishclass.com/forumTitle_27_31308
I think it is more useful. Question's owner has an opinion but not sure. Thanks lady in red. And oreniyorum8.
in my opinion "we can ask like this."

One more request I would make. Please use 'I' not 'i'when it stands alone. How much longer does this take?

Great idea!! I too have been tempted to correct english grammar etc .. I believe that it helps not only the english native speakers but the turkish native speakers also!!

You have to be careful (and that's one 'l') whose grammar you are correcting.
( or should it be 'one has to be careful whose grammar one is correcting?)
Anyhooo,I PM several users who appreciate being corrected-others just take offence.
I was even told by a Turkish speaker that 'your' was a perfectly acceptable abbreviation for 'you're'!

One reason I like this forum, rather than others such as seslisözlük that I also am an active member of, is that people really are trying to learn, and are being respectful to each other.
Thank God that person only pm'ed you: they obviously didn't have the courage of their (wrong) convictions to post it.
Here we only tend to send corrections to translations if we know the person wants to learn, or if there is a big mistake that distorts the meaning of the translation. On seslisözlük Smart Alecs (as my mum would call them, these days we use a different A-word) send corrections to already good translations, up to a month later! Often the "correction" is wrong!

I also would request that the user would state when the translation is for song lyrics or poetry. I won't touch these with a barge pole! (too much poetic licence!)

I don't think users know the content of the sentences which they wanted to translate.
but you can understand that by yourself. Just google it. You will see exactly the same sentences on lots of websites.

It´s not fair!!! Yesterday I was corrected for writing kisa when it should have been kısa,then later there was a whole paragraph of translation E-T by a Turkish speaker with NOT ONE Turkish letter used. Where´s the justice?
