Sorry. Didn't mean to be so harsh. I'll check to make sure I haven't been bitten by a bat or something.

No problem, it happens to everyone some day to be a little too hasty and harsh over the internet

But not everyone takes the step to write back to admit it. Thanks for that!

Also note he originally was speaking of validated strings. Those never got gift points, even the original English. I've done plenty of validated strings and gotten nothing for that, and only got the gifts for the original as yet unvalidated ones.

A suggested translation is a great idear. To bad that the dutch translater is really bad. All samples I saw had the words in the wrong order to make a good dutch sentence. Any change on a different translater?

Hmm... do you know one that is good for Dutch?
Please note that if it's really wrong and doesn't help, the automatic translater can be disabled selectively for any language.

I did some testing, and Google Translate is a lot better then Bing Microsoft Translate.
It has the words in the right order. Bing seams to translate word by word.

Sample: You may spend 1 coin -> Dutch
Bing: U besteden 1 munt (Doen't make sense)
Google: Je mag 1 muntstuk uitgeven (Correct)

For my, Bing doesn't help and is even counter productive. Cause reading "english sentences using dutch words" doesn't improve you translation skills.

Good to know, thanks! I'll look into it, but it'll depend on the conditions Google has for its translate service.

I would like to be able to quickly change or report phrases from the game with a bad translation. For example, Innovation:

"Filosofía: Vichy may arrastra sus red cards hacia left, arrastra sus purple cards hacia left o pasa"

You have more than 100 validated translations to your credit. With this amount, you are actually trusted to fix validated strings. Did I miss something?

I can change the name of the card but there are strings that belong to the game and can not be modified from the translations page.

(I do not remember where I read this explanation, it was a long time ago. In any case I searched this chain and I can not find it)

I guess it's this chain "arrastra sus ${cards} hacia ${direction}"
