Recent discussion about ProZ.com translation contests

You can help close the last translation contest (new edition coming up!)	I'm trying to do my bit, but it's frustrating I'm trying to do the responsible thing for the community and vote in a few of the "into English" pairs - only commenting on the use of English as I don't understand the source texts. The first was a pair where there were only three finalists. I selected one as my choice of winner, and left it at that as the other two were pretty abysmal (probably accurate, but not written in pleasant, natural English). All's well so far. The next pair have 22 entries still in contention. How can that be? Is there no limit? Even so, it would be pretty easy for me to take a quick look and eliminate about two thirds - some of them are clearly awful! But there doesn't seem to be any way of doing that. So, [b]Request #1: let us remove entries that we don't want to consider further[/b]. One pair has "just" 7 entries still in contention, so more of less doable. But I can't decide on 1st-3rd until after I've looked in detail at each one. And by the time I've looked at 7 in detail, I've forgotten what I thought of them all! You can't even go by what you yourself have marked in terms of likes, dislikes, agrees and disagrees as your own aren't separated out in any way. So, [b]Request #2: let us see what we personally have marked as good/bad, and/or give us a free-form input area just for our own eyes so we can make a note[/b].	Sheila Wilson Španija

Hi Daniel, Site staff are currently campaigning to draw in as many votes as possible, in order to give some feedback to contestants. In connection with this, would you be willing to take a few minutes to vote for your favorite entries in any of your language pairs? As you know, ProZ.com contests are peer-based and every vote counts in making them work. Thanks!	Tatiana Dietrich Argentina

Two more language pairs have been closed. Announcing the winners	Language pairs open to rating and voting If you have not rated or voted and you would like to do so, you can find your language pair(s) below. (If the pair you are looking for is not there, either a winner has already been selected, in which case you can find it here, or that particular pair was never opened.) I will be editing this post as new pairs are closed or move from Qualifications to Finals phase.
