Would you like to be a translator for Yoors?
The Yoors Team has been thinking of a new feature and also possible "job opportunities" for people who are good at a certain language. I'm also replying to @Diana Lima's question about who does our translations.
Our current translation system uses the automatic translation tool from Amazon. But as you can see the translator takes things too literal sometimes. That's what all translator tools do. Some members have suggested Deepl and Google Translate. But we also have to consider pricing of course. The Amazon translator works just fine, it helps us understand or be able to interpret other posts or comments better. The only thing it needs is a little pat on the back: a little help from someone to correct it when it starts acting derpy. I myself correct my own Spanish and Dutch translations and that works just fine. It doesn't take much time either.

For the longest time me and one of the other developers were thinking of something more fun: What if the members can just correct the translations that already exist when they are fluent in the language? What if we can make this an actual feature?
I would like to know if you guys would be interested in such a tool where members can correct the current translations and receive a reward for it (just like when you comment on a post). Think of it like the Wikia platform where everyone can contribute to a document and correct it if needed.

Would you like us to build something like that? Comment below if you are interested in being a translator or this tool.

But sometimes the translation is hilarious.
On the other hand, it would help a lot if members would follow punctuation rules, instead of texting as if using the mobile's SMS. 😬 Sorry, I'm a language freak.
I personally modify translations of my posts (mostly). If the info has changed to a post of mine, I modify it. Also the associated translations. ... Show moreIn itself, I am ahead of it, but wonder. Can the content creator choose if they want their post to be modified??

Another question by the way.. Can all languages (except English) be unchecked by default? If I forget to uncheck all of those languages selected by Yoors (no criticism), my post (s) will be translated unsolicited.
