Vocaloid Lyrics Wiki talk:Translation Guidelines

Issues that are unclear in current policy
I have some questions about this policy: ElectricRaichu (talk) 10:51, May 2, 2015 (UTC)
 * 1) Does "a word may have multiple meanings in another language" mean
 * 2) *the word in the language of the song can have multiple meanings so that it's not always known how to translate it, or
 * 3) *the word used in the English translation can have additional meanings to the one intended, or
 * 4) *both the above?
 * 5) "Accuracy" section. I think this should say more than not to use machine translators. It should also say that the translator should have sufficient competence in both languages translating from and to in order to produce an accurate rendition.
 * 6) "Mistranslation" section.
 * 7) *"Some might edit the page without discussions." Presumably this is a good thing?
 * 8) *"This can be avoided by commenting ..." What can be avoided? How can writing a comment avoid the need to correct a translation?
 * 9) "Crediting" section.
 * 10) *"In order to avoid any problems ..." What kind of problems? If it's a translator's work copied without acknowledgement, I think this should be more explicit.
 * 11) *"... they used software to translate" I thought the section on accuracy said that this was not a good thing.
 * 12) "Translyrics" Is this the same as "singable lyrics"? I think it would be helpful to define the term explicitly.
