Great idea! Jan 13, 2006

I like the idea of articles, by subjects and authors, and the forums. I did submit one as well, and also opened a forum about it. However, when I look in my profile, I see "never submitted articles", and I cannot find anymore my article submitted on the 29th December, on online e-learning course on Culture and Language.

Could you advice?

Thanks for your ongoing support!

Stefania

I would like to echo Stefania's experience. I submitted an article on Saturday (Jan. 28) and I am seeing the same results. I know articles need to be reviewed, and that there is no assurance that they will be accepted. However, I would still like to know if it was received.

Thanks!

Some one's weakness is some one's strength ! Apr 17, 2006

Hi !

I have enrolled just today and for the whole day I have been reading very interesting articles and tips !

Such a wonderful way of promoting the good work. It appears that now language is no barrier to express one's view or idea.

The world seems to have shrinked.... Such a wonderful way to interact with the person whom you do not know, still have confidence that he/she would be helping /guiding you or you may become an instrument to help others...

I am based at India and have gathered expertise in Hindi language which happens to be my mother tongue. It is irony to note that many of Indians are unaware about their own Hindi language.
On the contrarary I have observed many foriegners seems to have better grasps over Hindi language.

Good Luck for the wonderful work done by you and I look forward for my contribution in this "Mammoth" work

In life you never know what you have been missing unless it arrives;and you will never know what you have got untill it is missing!

A very interesting forum Mar 31, 2007

Excellent idea, as a matter of fact I think it was the next step that should be taken; the bigger this site gets, the better for all of us as its users. I´d like to know what does it take to publish an article in this page?
Anyway, congratulations fro a very good idea!

I wonder... Feb 11, 2009

I wonder if there is any deadline for approving an article. If, for example, I submitted it 2 days ago, when will it be published?

A week? Feb 11, 2009

A submitted article must be vetted, read, analized by appropiate staff who decide about its worth, interest and value before being published. It might even be rejected.

This is a serious task and should be allowed the proper time too. Two days is nothing, considering that most of the staff members do it on a non-paid collaboration basis.

I reckon that at least a week should be allowed for this. Be patient. They will let you know as soon as they have an answer.

Misleading (wrong language) article titles Dec 22, 2009

Non-English articles usually have non-English titles. That makes a lot of sense, because people who don't speak the language know not to click on the article. However, some article have misleading titles, e.g.:

1) Ask authors to use the same language in both their articles and article titles.
AND/OR
2) Clearly indicate the language of the "Featured translation article" on the home page.

Thanks,
