I don't request a check for every translation: I'm requesting a check of the first one, might skip the next one and then request a check again for a third one to avoid too much checking work because I don't want to bother anyone too much. By doing so, I try to catch abusers because a check can happen any time and that went well so far but if you say it's really a garbage translation, many thanks for your hint and I'll request an improvement.  Smiley

Actually, we cannot blame you for that because once you see someone already translated your topic and it was good, naturally you would like to allow him to translate more of your topic.
Of course, I'm not a native speaker and I can't know if it's a legitimate translation or not. I've applied a procedure to avoid most bad translations to go unnoticed but it's very difficult to spot everything.
If you have a better idea, please let me know.  Smiley

But whoever you contact to check the translation, did they ever mentioned that it seems the guy used automatic translator? At least did they doubt that?
As said before, the translation in question wan't checked as previous translations of the same translator have been checked, so I assumed the translation was a legitimate one.
If there's a a particular issue with Bengali translations, I might check every translation.

You should ask someone to check who has some experience or you can trust.

What's your opinion, if I create a new topic in services (like AOBT) but for checking translations for "problematic languages", where abuse has been detected? I could link any new translations before meriting and people like you could be my "trusted proofreaders": You could write a few words in that topic, if it's a quality translation or not, and I could finally approve it, when I have your confirmation.
What's your opinion of such a solution?
