Discussion about 25th translation contest: "Alien first impressions" in English to Persian (Farsi)Finalists could not be selected in this language pair

Hi Hesam,

Thank you for your interest in ProZ.com translation contests.

Please note that the language pair "English to Persian (Farsi)" did not move from qualifications phase to finals, since finalists could not be determined in this language pair. The rating points do not determine winners, only voting points during the finals phase do. The purpose of rating points is to select finalists during the qualification phase and to provide feedback to entry authors.

Language pairs that received a large number of entries (more than 7) are placed in a qualification round to ensure that an appropriate number of entries reaches the finals. Voters are asked to rate entries in two categories: "Quality of writing" and "Accuracy of translation", and the 3-7 entries that receive the highest scores will pass into the final round. However, a minimum voting ratio has to be reached in order to determine finalists, which is automatically calculated by the system. In English to Persian, as well as in other language pairs that did not receive enough ratings, this ratio was not reached and finalists could not be selected.

I hope this explains! Please let me know if you have any other questions. You can also learn more about ProZ.com translation contests here: https://www.proz.com/faq/153482#153482

Discussion about 25th translation contest: "Alien first impressions" in Spanish to ItalianFilm considerato inglesismo?

Ricordo che la parola film è entrata nell'italiano fin dagli anni 30, come avrebbe dovuto essere tradotta?

"Alien first impressions" winners announcement I'm glad I didn't enter

"Winning entries could not be determined" in both my language pairs. Maybe it's time to do something about the rating/voting system.

This was my first translation contest ever and I didn't expect to win. Taking part in it was already a nice experience! For someone who's relatively new to the translation business, this is like a wish come true.
