RE: [CICERON] Steemit content translation beta service released! | Get free translation service
through various contents, not *thorough various content; and you simply can't say "...which is why! Ciceron...". That is pure Korean written in English words. You need to be able to deliver a better final draft. If you're counting on readers who aren't fluent in English, that's fine, but you can't get much further with this level of English! Clients should be aware of what they're paying for.
Hello Jamie, I am an account manager at CICERON. First, I would like to thank you for pointing out the missing part. Thanks to your help, we were able to correct it. :) We are currently working with translators to translate our account posts, but because I write the original in Korean, it can sometimes be translated in an awkward way. Considering the reader in the future, we will make sure to translate more naturally, rather than using word-for-word literal translations.
The ‘Steemit Translation by CICERON’ service mentioned above can be rewarded with Steem by requesting a translation in Steemit and participating in the translation directly. Please join us, Jamie, using the link, and together we can help Steemit become more active, without language barriers. :)
Thank you for your interest.
Thanks for your frank answer. Of course the original would have been in Korean, but a word-for-word translation can never be excused, especially since very little work is needed to modify a google translation or something similar; the result will be more or less the same as what you had up there. I felt uncomfortable with the idea that people here would have to pay for it.
I write in English on a professional level, and don't consider myself on a par with people who are probably more comfortable with Korean, presuming they would be the kind of people who might apply to join a team of translators. I doubt the reward one may expect in a team will be enough to compensate for having to work on this platform, which I'm using for leisure.
Having said that, I might consider revising to make a final draft, but that is a different task altogether. I'm leaning towards working independently, if I were to work at all on this platform. But thanks for the suggestion! I hope to see decent work from you guys, and good luck!
