One of the most unfair feature of cucumis is that if you don't speak a foreign language you can't use it (as it's told on the home page).
But I've noticed something : most of the translators don't use their points to ask for translations. They do it because they like it. Translating is like a game, it's sometime very addictive
.
As you may know or not, when a new member register with cucumis, he has 0 point, but he can ask for up to a 500 points translation, and having a negative number of points ( -500 points).
If the user can't speak a foreign language, his number of points will stay negative and he will never be able to submit a new translation request.
Now I suggest to
give him 500 points after a delay of 7 days, only if his
number of point is still negative and only if
he visits again cucumis.org
Maybe the members who translate a lot of texts might find it unfair, so please tell it here.
My opinion is that a person who logs in regularly on cucumis, every week, to submit a new translation, is certainly a person very motivated to get some texts transalted and deserves to be helped by the community.
If there are no messages i this topic I'll consider that you are all agree (or maybe I'll post it in a news article, to be sure everybody has read it).
