Re: Requesting for a Bengali translation and Press release sub board
I'm a normal user so my words won't be that useful. If you like what I say, give it some thought. Translation is not bad, you can learn a lot in your native language by translating (because not everyone can be proficient in English). Because there is no end to human learning?, so all the local boards that have bad comments about the translation, ban the translation on those boards. Also make translation free on other native boards that would be the best strategy/justice.
Dude, how can anyone ban someone from translating something? Even if basing on copyright, if someone will find something really interesting which will want to share on his local board he can even retell the main point in his own words. If not to be bothered with merit farming, you can share nearly any interesting and important information on your local board, just don't forget to leave links on a source of that info.
The root cause of this problem will be solved if merit sources stop distributing so much merit for translation and are more selective when accepting someone's request for translation. Some newbies want to rank up and they want to do that fast. They look for possible way from where they can get a lot of merit. Perhaps if we could give a recognition badge to all the skilled translator that could be enough as a reward.
