For example, when translating a string that discusses a future event from Arabic into English, sometimes it may be needed to delete the word “inshallah” rather than literally tr… text/html 2025-05-12T09:26:31+0000 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://wiki.alchemytranslations.com/doku.php?id=tips:lc:3_context&rev=1747041991&do=diff CONTEXT Gender disambiguation: you should correctly disambiguate the gender of entities like pronouns based on the words/phrases they refer to. Abbreviation disambiguation: if an abbreviation referring to previous words/phrases in the context does not have a correspondence in the target language, you should expand it. text/html 2025-05-12T09:26:32+0000 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://wiki.alchemytranslations.com/doku.php?id=tips:lc:4_domain&rev=1747041992&do=diff DOMAIN After translating the text, and before submitting the hit, you must choose the domain you think best describes the document from the following given categories: E-commerce: The text is about selling or buying goods or services.

If any complaint about poor quality or rejection from the customer, a rework will be arranged. If the underperforming translator/reviewer is asked to implement the changes required by the customer by himself/herself, the required fixing will be done for free.

All target strings are required to accurately convey the meaning of the corresponding source string. Retain the meaning of the source string in translation. In this context, idioms such as “he was beating around the bush” or “I’m just pulling your leg” can be especially challenging to translate, and a literal word-by-word translation is not acceptable. text/html 2025-05-12T09:23:10+0000 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://wiki.alchemytranslations.com/doku.php?id=tips:lc:7_webapp&rev=1747041790&do=diff WEBAPP WEBAPP FOR TRANSLATORS This is what the task will look like for translators: The “View Full Context” link, on the top of the source text, opens a pop up window with scrollable text displaying the full document.
