Translation requires a lot of hard work. Even when you are a native speaker, you can't just translate it as you speak it normally or use Google translators directly. It has to sound clear and fluent. I'm sure you understand that yourself, as you are also a translator.

Do you know what's frustrating? Not being recognized for your work. That's the main problem with our local thread. I have done multiple translations for Gazeta. And every time, it took more than 10 days. And unfortunately, all my translation got buried in previous pages. Four, five posts, and your posts get buried. That's what makes me sad. The whole point was to spread awareness of the topic I translated. But I doubt if anyone ever saw or took time to read those. Only if we had our own local board, we wouldn't have this problem. Even if 10 people read my translation, I would have peace.
If someone translates a post in our Bengali local thread, I try to take a lot of time to read it. A few days ago @Learn Bitcoin and @DYING_S0UL beautifully translated the posts and presented them to us. They used to keep a gap of at least 10 days while translating the posts. Then I used to get a lot of time to read the posts, I used to read the posts carefully.

However, a few days ago everyone in our thread started translating posts. Those of us who read the post should give it a few days. Now if 3-5 posts a week are translated, then we feel boring. Post translation is very good, I support it myself. Gezeta and 1miau their posts are very good and useful posts. If someone translates their posts we gain knowledge on various topics. But some members in our local thread started a competition to translate posts. I think if one post a month or good posts every 15 days are translated in our Bengali thread, no one will find it boring.
