Dear All,

As previously announced, the first phase of the 7th ProZ.com Translation Contest closes on Wednesday (tomorrow) at 14 GMT.

Here is what will happen when the phase closes:

* Language pairs with more than 7 entries will move to qualification round voting.

* Language pairs with 3-7 entries will go directly into final round voting (a qualification stage is not necessary since the number of entries is manageable).

* Language pairs with 1 or 2 entries: A winner can not be selected unless there are at least three entries. Therefore, submissions will be permitted beyond the first deadline. As soon as a third entry is received, submission will close and the pair will go into final round voting.

Thanks for your participation.

Hi Romina,

Is it still possible to submit RU-UKR translation? There are already 3 entries for the moment. I saw only 2 proposals - to submit RU-ENG and RU_FR translations.
Thank you in advance.

Hi, Zoya, you probably cannot see the ADD button because RU-UKR is not one of your working languages.

Just add this language pair as working in your profile.

But hurry up

Comments Jun 5, 2008

Dear Romina,
I have read a couple of comments in the "Dislike" boxes in the ENG-RUS combination. Some of the comments under the "other" title are not of a linguistic character (no reasonable explanation is provided). Many of the comments are rude. Perhaps you give a warning to the reviewers: rude comments will be deleted by the moderators.

Share your concern Jun 5, 2008

Most of the 'dislike' comments in Eng-Rus pair are ignorant and aggressive. They hold no water linguistic-wise. Someone is just using this tag for splashing out the aggression accumulated.

A small suggestion for the future (not for this contest) Jun 5, 2008

I suggest that there should be a possibility to change your agree or disagree when you comment on a tag made by another person.

For example, I had a couple of times just a slip of the mouse.
