If a word or phrase isn't recognised by Scotranslate, it is submitted for user translation

Once a registered user clicks 'Start Translating', they will be presented with words and phrases at random, one at a time.

  • If the user sees a previous translation for this word/phrase that they agree with, they vote for it
  • Otherwise, they enter their own interpretation and press suggest

Once a word or phrase gets 5 votes, it will appear in the Scotranslate.com dictionary. If it's voted bad 5 times, it will be removed.

Users may vote only once for each word or phrase and both Suggestions and Translations count towards equally towards your total contribution.
