Title
The concept of race
Text
Submitted by Everett
Source language: English

The concept of race is a construct of society that classifies people groups through shared physical looks. But mere outside look is limited in the reach to which it can describe a person. The color of the skin hides the true quality of the soul, while belief and behavior cannot be measured by the shape of a face.
Remarks about the translation
Please translate literally - no exceptions for awkward expression.

Title
Hugtakið kynþáttur
Translation
Icelandic

Translated by Anna_Louise
Target language: Icelandic

Hugtakið kynþáttur er sköpun samfélags sem flokkar fólk í hópa eftir sameiginlegum líkamlegum þáttum. En eingöngu ytra útlit er takmörkuð lýsing á manneskju. Húðlitur felur sönn gæði sálarinnar, á meðan trú og hegðun geta ekki ákvörðuð af lögun andlitsins.
Remarks about the translation
Mér finnst þessi texti ekki í nógu góðu samhengi (upprunalegi textinn) og þetta er það besta sem ég gat gert miðað við hvernig þýðingin á að vera (translate literally).
