**AIM**: populate a Machine Translation engine for ISAAC. You will perform Machine 
Translation Post-Editing (MTPE) of content into multiple languages and this will be used to 
train an MT engine and produce automatic translations.  \\
**TASK DESCRIPTION**: this task provides both a source and a suggested target. Source
cannot be edited. The resulting translation must be accurate, fluent, and read naturally in the
target language. Avoid literal translations. Read your new target sentence on its own and
double check that it sounds as though a native speaker said/wrote that sentence. \\
**TARGET LANGUAGES**: the only target languages requested and allowed in this project 
are the ones listed below. Make sure you translate into the correct target language and 
flavor (example: Latin American Spanish is not allowed, Canadian French is not allowed, 
etc.) \\

**CHEATING BEHAVIORS**: cheating behaviors are **strictly prohibited** and will be 
punished with immediate removal/ban from the project. The affected wordcount and the 
additional cost of the rework will be deducted from the PO. Examples include (but are not 
limited to): 

- **DO NOT** use Machine Translation (no matter if edited or not) or any other input from MT 
engines (like Google Translate, Bing Translator, Deepl, etc.) to provide translations. All edits 
should come from human translators. \\
- **DO NOT** translate into the wrong target language (__for example, do not translate into South 
American Spanish as the project only has Spain Spanish as target language__).  \\
- **DO NOT** use any kind of script, automation, browser add-in, or other third-party tools. \\
- **DO NOT** retain the source and/or the target for translation memory purposes or any other use 
case. \\
- **DO NOT** apply random nonsensical changes to the MT just for the sake of editing it. For 
example in cases where the translation differs just in capitalization, or punctuation, or in a 
synonym, or when the translation contains the explanation of the source content, etc. \\
- **DO NOT** apply unreasonable omissions (like translating only the first part of the sentence) \\
- **DO NOT** mark error categories during review without fixing the translation. If there is an error, 
you must **both** select the error category **and** fix the target. \\

**ANY OTHER** cheating behavior from other circumstances or scenarios not explicitly 
mentioned here that may jeopardize the project and the cooperation with the customer is 
also extremely prohibited. \\
**FINAL EXPECTED QUALITY: HUMAN QUALITY**. Translated strings should retain the 
meaning of the source and express it as fluently as possible, as a native speaker of the 
target language would do. \\
**TEAM MEMBERS**: Translations will be provided by **native speakers** of target language 
who are fluent in source language and will be accurate and in compliance with the project 
translation Guidelines below. \\
**CONTENT**: general news, newspapers, instant messages or comments in social networks, 
strings extracted from news programs, medical publications, finance, and business documents, or concerning sports, travel, shopping, etc. Sometimes, the customer will attach context for reference. If available, this will be visible in the webapp. Otherwise, assume there is no further reference or context than the string itself. Focus on each string individually, and do not try to find how the strings are related with one another; probably, they are not related at all. \\
