==== SOURCE TEXT CHECKBOXES ====

Before starting with the translation, you will be asked to select at least one of the following 
checkboxes that refer to the Source text: 
{{ :isaac_project:en:human_translation_instructions_v311:img1_isaac_projectenhuman_translation_instructions_v3112_source_text_checkboxes.jpg?800 |}}

**Wrong language in source**: If the input text is completely in another language (not the 
announced source language), check this checkbox and skip the sentence. The strings 
marked like this will not be considered in the project wordcount. Example, you are working in 
a EN-CN task, but the source is “Datos de mercado no son rastreados”. \\
✘ Do not check this box if the words in other language are borrowed, shared, or common 
words in the source and target languages.\\  

 
**Garbled text in source**: If source text is completely garbled (a series of random characters 
like: “jknjknkjnknknn”), check this checkbox e corresponding “Bad source” checkbox and 
move to the next string. Code such html, javascript or other programming languages can 
also be marked as garbled text. The strings marked like this will not be considered in the 
project wordcount. If only a part of the source is garbled, do not click the “Garbled” 
checkbox, leave the garbled part as it is in source and translate the rest of the sentence as 
you would normally do.\\ 

**Nonsensical source**: If source text is completely __nonsensical__, check the corresponding 
this checkbox and provide a literal word by word translation. If only a part of the source is 
nonsensical, but the rest of the sentence is fine, translate the nonsensical part literally and 
the rest of the sentence as you would normally do. Do not describe nonsensical words. 
Typos or Spelling errors in source: if the source contains grammar or spelling mistakes 
but the meaning remains clear, please check this checkbox and provide a fluent translation - 
do not replicate the ungrammatical constructs or misspellings into the target language. We always expect grammatically correct and correctly spelled translations. Also disambiguate abbreviations (Ex. 'how r u -> cómo estás'). \\
**More than 1 language in source**: If, apart from the intended language, there is any other language present in the source text, please select this checkbox. This includes borrowed, shared or common words from other languages. \\
**None apply**: If none of the other checkboxes apply to the text, please mark this one.
