I'd report (1) as broken English, and (2) as plagiarism.

Have you read the thread? It clearly states that he translated it from Arabic and even indicated the link of the article in his OP:


Meaning he didn't stole it and claim it as his works nor him being the author. Reporting such actions would simply imply that we need to report those english board to local board translators as well as those whom translated many articles just to share such article to the forum? It was never been prohibited, as long as they didn't use such translators for most of their threads nor just ot be fit on english nor any local board.

Posting on local boards with automated translation tools is not allowed according to rule #27. But there is no rule that prohibits doing the same from another language into English. Roll Eyes

That's an unofficial rule lol. But yes, no rule nor past events had been implied with such translations.


@Eureka_07,

What factors have you considered justifying that his thread was automated and never been his own translation??
