Scotranslate.com - English to Scots Translation
Glasgow, Scotland.
Scotranslate, Scotland's latest web craze, is a user contributed community English to Scottish translation project. Here's a quick run down of how it works.
Visitors can search for translations the web, by SMS, or Windows Live® Messenger.
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.
The service is available at http://www.scotranslate.com
