Cucumis.org will NOT sell your email address and we will NOT send you any unwanted emails. Please use an email address that you check regularly as you will receive useful email notifications if you enable the options (completed translations, personal messages, ect...).

Each translation done by a member you sent on cucumis.org through this url, will earn you additional points ([cid=TC_PERCENTDADDY] percent of the translation cost).

If you wish to invite some friends of yours to translate your project on cucumis.org, give them this url: [linkid=w_in_[userid]]

Create a new project

They have additional rights but also additional responsibilities. Without their participation, no translation can be validated, that's why they are rewarded with bonus points.

The translation must take into account the specific rules of the target language. For example in Spanish the reverse interrogation or exclamation point comes before the sentence, in Japanese the sentences end with "。" ( not with "." ) and there is no space before the next sentence, etc...

You can also access the translations rejected by the submitter. Those rejected translations will be rare but they must be evaluated in priority.

Before accepting a translation, make sure it is nearly perfect

First of all the translation must respect the meaning of the original text. It must be written with a rich vocabulary by a fluently speaking translator.

The translation must follow the punctuation, the uppercases and lowercases of the original text. For example if there is no point at the end of the sentences of the original text, there must not be a point in the translated text.

When you are not sure, we advise you to start a discussion about the translation to require the help of other members.

When there are too many errors, please look at the profile of the translator. If the translator is new to Cucumis.org, please send him or her a personal message including the reasons of the rejection.

Take into account the amount of work accomplished by the translator. If there are only a few words to modify or a point to add, we advise you to edit the translation and accept it. You won't get any points for editing but you get points each time you accept or reject a translation.
