1.1 - KudoZ가 무엇인가요?

KudoZ는 용어에 관한 도움을 주고받는 네트웍입니다. KudoZ를 통해 ProZ.com 사용자들은 어려운 용어 번역에 대해 서로 도움을 요청하거나 답변을 제공합니다. KudoZ에 대해 더 알고 싶으면 저희의 플래시 버전 안내를 살펴보십시오.

1.2 - Glossary of KudoZ terms

Question: The request for help posted by the asker, including at least a language pair, a field of expertise, a term and context information.

Action buttons: Buttons located below the question that offer users access to several areas described below. The buttons are:




Answer: Reply in the target language to the asked term, including at least the translation of the term, an explanation and the answerer's confidence level.

Reference comment: This area is accessed with the "Post reference" button and should be used to provide information which is not in itself an answer, but which may be helpful to either the asker or other answerers. The information submitted in this way will not be subject to consideration as "best" or "most helpful", and points will not be received.

Discussion area: This area is accessed with the "Post discussion" and should be used for additional exchanges of context information and for linguistic discussions on the question. This area should not be used to comment on answers ( http://www.proz.com/siterules/kudoz_answ/3.4#3.4 ) or on participants ( http://www.proz.com/siterules/kudoz_answ/3.7#3.7 ). In GBK it also allows participation of users who do not meet the criteria to answer.

Grading: The process by which the asker reviews the suggestions and awards points to the answerer who provided the translation deemed by the asker to be the most useful.

Peer comment: A comment made by a site user concerning his agreement or disagreement with a translation suggested by a peer. Peer comments must be based on linguistic considerations. This is the only valid way to comment on a KudoZ answer.

Asker: A person in need of translation assistance who posts a term or phrase, providing context and the desired target language.

Answerer: A site user who provides an answer to a KudoZ question.

Reference poster: A site user who provides a reference comment.

KudoZ editors: Non-moderator site users who have been given the right to perform some editing functions on KudoZ questions.

1.3 - 어떻게 운용되는가?

KudoZ의 처리는 다음 3단계로 진행됩니다.
(1)번역에 대해 도움이 필요한 사람이 용어나 구문을 게시합니다. 이때 그 배경 및 대상 언어를 함께 제공합니다.
(2)사이트의 사용자가 그에 대한 설명 및 참고 자료등을 곁들여 번역을 제시합니다.
(3)질문자는 제시된 답변들을 검토한 후, 가장 유용하고 정확하다고 여겨지는 답변을 제시한 사이트 시용자에게 1포인트에서 4포인트까지의 포인트를 줍니다.

1.4 - KudoZ 포인트의 잇점은 무엇입니까?

어떤 고객들은 KudoZ 포인트를 더 나은 번역가로 인정하는 기준으로 삼습니다. 그 이론적 근거는 이렇습니다.만일 의약에 관한 이해가 충분한 번역가가 필요하다면 의학 분야의 질문에서 300 포인트를 사람은 관심을 두고 살펴볼 만한 좋은 후보가 될 것입니다.

1.5 - How are KudoZ points updated?

KudoZ point totals shown in some places throughout the site are updated once daily, whereas those in other places are updated in real time. So there can be temporary discrepancies, but correction is made when all points are counted once per day.

Members can force the system to update their points in real time. Go to your KudoZ points summary page and click on "Update points totals now".

1.6 - KudoZ에 참여하는 데 대한 규정들은 무엇입니까?

다음의 링크에서 KudoZ 규정들을 살펴보십시오.
일반 규정
질문에 대한 규정 그리고
답변 맟 동료 코멘트에 관한 규정

1.7 - 답변: KudoZ 규정이 위반되는 경우에는 어떻게 해야 합니까?

KudoZ 규정이 위반될 경우에는 이 사실을 해당 언어쌍의 중재자에게 알려야 합니다. 중재자 목록은 www.proz.com/mod/list 에서 찾아보실 수 있습니다.

KudoZ 규정 위반과 관련하여 중재자와 연락할 때는 반드시 그 특정 질문에 대한 링크등을 포함, 모든 관련 정보를 포함시키도록 하십시오.

1.8 - What is the logic behind the KudoZ categories?

KudoZ questions can be categorized using a field list with about 100 entries. The list, which was created statistically from subject areas entered in free text by ProZ.com users, is somewhat fuzzy on purpose. For example, because one member might think "auto" while another thinks "cars", both category names are made available in the list.

Note that although "twin" categories such as these appear separately in the list of fields, they get entered into the database in the same way. So it does not matter which you select--just pick the first category that fits your term.

A tip: in most browsers, once you are in the select list, you can simply hit the letter of the category you have in mind ("c" for "cars") until you get the category you want.

1.9 - 질문에 등급이 매겨지지 않으면 어떻게 됩니까?

질문이 접수되고 사흘동안 마감되지 않으면 질문자에게 등급을 그 사실을 상기시키는 이메일이 보내집니다. 그러한 메일이 4차례 보내진 다음에도 (2주 이상) 질문이 계속해서 마감되지 않은 상태로 남아 있으면, 최선의 답변을 자동 선정하려는 시도를 하게 됩니다. '자동 선정 로봇'이 다음의 규정에 따라 각 답변이 받은 '동료 찬성'의 수를 기준으로 최선의 답변을 선정합니다.
- 선정 대상이 되기 위해서는 그 답변은 동료들로부터 최소한 2개의 순찬성(찬성-불찬성) 표를 얻어야 합니다.
- 순찬성의 수가 가장 많은 답변이 선정됩니다. 순찬성의 수가 같은 두개일 경우, 먼저 올려진 답변이 선정됩니다. 이는 두 개의 답변이 같은 찬성표를 얻었다면 더 짧은 시간 내에 올려진 답변이 더 나은 것이라는 생각에 근거한 것입니다.

최소한 두개의 순찬성 표를 얻은 답변이 없을 경우, 그 질문은 마감이 안된 상태로 남아있게 됩니다.

1.10 - Where can I find a list of my previous questions and answers?

Go to your profile page and click on the KudoZ tab. Members will also see the option to force an update of their KudoZ points here.

1.11 - Can I see questions in language pairs not reported in my profile?

Yes. You can see KudoZ questions in all language pairs by clicking on See more languages in the KudoZ questions page.

1.12 - Under what conditions will a KudoZ question be removed?

There are about ten possible reasons why a KudoZ questions would be removed ("squashed"). For a discussion of these reasons, see: this article.

1.13 - What information can I see about a KudoZ asker?

If you move your mouse over the asker's picture in a KudoZ question you will see a mouse-over message similar to the one pictured below:



The following definitions apply:

* Questions: the amount of questions posted by the asker.

* Open: questions that remain open and have at least an answer not hidden and not declined by the asker.

* Without valid answers: questions that remain open and that received no answers, or that received answers that were hidden, or declined by the asker.

* Closed without grading: questions that were closed without grading by the asker after having received at least one answer not hidden.

Squashed questions are not included in these statistics. If you want to get more information on the asker, a click on the asker's link will take you to the asker's profile.

1.14 - "프로 투표' 나 "비프로 투표"란 무엇입니까?

In a "help" KudoZ question marked as PRO, participants may vote to have the question marked as non-PRO, and vice versa.

Non-PRO questions are those that can be answered by any bilingual person without the aid of a dictionary while PRO questions are those that are suitable for professional translators. "Glossary-building" KudoZ questions are always PRO and can't be voted into non-PRO.

Three votes for either PRO or non-PRO are required to reclassify a question for the first time, and after that it will reverse its status as soon as there are more votes for the change than against it.

For instance a question asked as non-PRO will require three votes to turn it into PRO (voting 3-0). At this point the button will change to "vote non-PRO" and four votes will turn it into non-PRO (voting 4-3). After that it will take two votes to change the question again in either sense (voting 5-4, 6-5, etc.).

If you have fewer than twenty (20) KudoZ PRO points, you will not see this option.

1.15 - When posting my question I selected by mistake the wrong level (PRO, non-PRO). What can I do?

You should submit a support request to have this issue addressed by staff.

1.16 - I think my point total should have gone up by more today.

If you are a member, it is possible to force the system to update your points in real time. Go to your KudoZ points summary page and click on "Update points totals now". If you are a registered user, any discrepancy in your point total is likely to be corrected within 24 hours.

To check whether or not you have been awarded points for a specific question, check the KudoZ answering history in your profile.

1.17 - One of my KudoZ point totals dropped. How is this possible?

It is possible for select point totals (overall, PRO, by field or by period) to go down. Factors that could cause this:

- A question for which you earned points was squashed or ungraded
- A PRO question for which you earned points was reclassified as non-PRO (thereby decreasing your PRO total and increasing your non-PRO total)
- A question for which you have earned points is reclassified in another field of expertise (raising your total in one field and decreasing it in another)
- Time passes (potentially causing your point total over the last three months to drop)

If you are wondering specifically about the 8 answers for which you earned points yesterday, you can check your profile answering history. Each should be shown with the points you have earned.

1.18 - How can I change what appears on my KudoZ points summary on my profile page?

Users can elect to hide certain types of KudoZ points from their summary from this page: http://www.proz.com/pro/?show_mode=kudoz&sub_mode=summary

1.19 - What do the "ok" and "no" under the the "Gloss" (glossary) column in my KudoZ activity section indicate?

The "ok" indicates that a glossary entry derived from the KudoZ question has been entered into the glossary.

On the other hand, the "no" indicates that no glossaru entry has been entered.

1.20 - I had to create a new profile. Can I merge my points from the previous profile?

Yes, if you are a member, support staff can do this for you. Note that not just your points, but your entire KudoZ history (asking, peer comments, notes, etc.) will be merged. You will no longer have access to the old profile.

To get your profiles merged, submit a support request asking staff to merge your KudoZ history *from* a specific profile *to* a specific profile. Identify the profiles by number if possible (username will do if you do not know the numbers.)

In your support request, write that you understand that the action is irreversible, and that you will no longer have access to the profile from which the history is moved.

To repeat, this option is available to members only.

1.21 - How can I prevent the ProZ.com term search from transliterating diacritics and accented characters?

In some cases, the ProZ.com term search provides a limited ability to transliterate diacritics and accented characters (for example, a search for the term "publica" may return results containing "pública" as well). To disable this feature, select the "match exact phrase" option.

1.22 - How can I enter a discussion entry?

To enter a discussion entry you should click on the "Post discussion" button. A form will show to allow you to post a title and the body of your entry. These fields are limited to 50 and 1200 characters respectively (there is a counter to tell you how many characters you have left for the main field). There is a preview option and buttons for submitting the entry and for canceling the operation.



Once your discussion entry has been entered, you will be able to edit it during the first 24 hours, or to delete it any time, by clicking on the icons displayed on the top right corner of the entry.

1.23 - I suggest requiring payment for participation in KudoZ. This would boost quality.

There are not currently any plans to restrict the use of KudoZ to members, or to require additional payment for participation in KudoZ. However, the option is provided to set viewing and notifications preferences in such a way that you only see questions from members. Also, when you ask, it is possible to specify a preference that answerers be members.

1.24 - Are KudoZ questions indexed by search engines?

Yes. As with the public forums, KudoZ questions are indexed by search engines.

Keep in mind that this can (and should) work in your favor. A series of excellent KudoZ answers, or of helpful, professional forum posts, boost your web visibility to potential clients, and may also give them a further means of evaluating you as a translator and as a professional.

1.25 - What do the time references next to the confidence level and in the peer section indicate?

They indicate the time elapsed from the moment the question was asked until the other action "answer", "peer comment" took place. The times shown are measured in relation to moment the question was asked.

1.2 - Asking

2.1 - What constitutes "term help" as defined in rule http://www.proz.com/siterules/kudoz_general/1.1#1.1 ?

KudoZ questions can be used to ask for help on terms or idiomatic expressions.

A group of words (up to approximately 10) should be posted in a single question only when they constitute an unbreakable unit, such as an idiomatic expression (e.g. 'a jack of all trades and master of none') that may be several words long and where omitting any part would not formulate the question correctly.

Askers can also ask for help in understanding the meaning of a sentence, word order, a grammatical issue or the difference between two terms, but this should be done in the corresponding monolingual language pair. Monolingual KudoZ questions can be asked by selecting the same language for both source and target languages.

2.2 - 질문: 제가 올릴 수 있는 질문의 수에 한도가 있는지요?

그렇습니다. 하루 (24 시간 기준) 허용치는 당신의 회원권 등급에 달려 있습니다. ProZ.com 등록 회원이 아닌 경우, 하루에 1개의 질문을 할 수 있습니다. 등록은 했으나 회원이 아닌 경우 5개를 질문할 수 있습니다. 회원은 15개의 질문을 할 수 있습니다. 주간 한도도 있는데, 등록 비회원은 1주일에 20개까지, 회원은 1주일에 60개까지 질문을 할 수 있습니다.
만일 당신이 정당한 답변을 받았는데도 1주일 이상 마감하지 않고 있는 질문이 10개 있으면, 더 이상의 질문이 허용되지 않습니다. 계속 질문을 하려면 이들 질문에 대해 등급을 매기고 마감하십시오.

2.3 - What happens if I ask questions beyond the daily or weekly limits?

When you ask questions beyond the limits corresponding to your membership status, these extra questions are added to the KudoZ question queue and they will be made visible automatically when enough time has elapsed for the question to be within asking limits.

When this happens you will see a message like this one:



When you click to see your queue, you will see a table like this one:



Members have higher limits and can request limit waivers via the support system.

2.4 - 질문:프로젝트를 끝마칠 때까지 용에에 대한 질문들을 비축해두고 싶습니다. 질문 수 제한을 피할 방법은 없습니까?

하루 15개의 질문 한도는 대부분의 사람들에게 충분하다고 믿습니다. 한 예로, 질문을 프로젝트의 마지막 이틀동안 내어 놓음으로써 당신은 30개의 질문을 할 수 있습니다. 만일 더 많은 질문이 필요하고 회원이라면, 지원팀에게 한도를 임시적으로 면제해 줄 것을 요청할 수 있습니다.

2.5 - Can I post a question in more than one language pair?

It is not possible to post a single question in different language pairs. However, several questions in different language pairs may be posted for a single term.

2.6 - Can I ask a monolingual kudoz question?

Yes, but there is not a specific section in the Kudoz area. What you have to do, if you want to ask a question in just one language (p.e.: English to English) is to go to Ask in the Kudoz tab. Then, in the form, click on 'See more languages'. You will see two lists where you can select the language you want twice. That way, it will be a monolingual question.

2.7 - I am not sure whether a question should be classified as non-PRO or PRO. What is the difference?

While there may be no way to draw a clear-cut line, the following definitions have been adopted for the two types of question:

2.8 - 질문: 제 질문에 대한 정보를 더 추가할 수 있는지요? 질문을 수정할 수 있습니까?

질문을 수정할 수는 없습니다. 그렇지만 주석을 첨가할 수는 있습니다. 질문 페이지에 그 서식이 있습니다. (당신의 언제 그 질문을 올렸는지 기억이 나지 않으면 확인 이메일을 체크해 보십시오. 거기에 그 질문으로 통하는 링크가 있습니다)

2.9 - 질문:제 질문을 제가 아는 어떤 사람들에게만 보낼 수 있는지요?

당신이 회비를 납부하는 ProZ.com 회원이라면 그렇게 할 수 있습니다.

2.10 - 질문: 왜 질문을 특정 사람들에게만 보내게 됩니까?

많은 KudoZ 답변들은 ProZ.com의 어느 회원이 어느 분야에 전문인지 알게 해주었습니다. 주어진 기간에, 그들은 이들 전문가들과 직접적으로 의견을 물을 것을 택합니다. KudoZ 를 통해 이렇게 함으로써, 질문과 답변 과정이 보다 획일적이고 편리해질 수 있고, 제공된 번역이 찾을 수 있는 기록으로 유지된다는 점을 확실하게 해줍니다 .

2.11 - 질문: 특정 부류의 회원들만 질문을 볼 수 있도록 제한하는 이유는 무엇입니까?

때때로 질문자들은 어느 특정 그룹, 예를 들면 원어민이라든가 그 분야에서 일하는 사람 또는 그밖의 선정된 부류의 ProZ.com 회원들, 로부터의 의견을 원합니다. 이처럼 그룹을 한정할 수 있는 기능이 제공되고 있습니다.

2.12 - If I ask a question privately, ie. restricting it to one of my teams, will it appear to others? Will it be searchable in the archives?

If you are a member, you can opt to keep the term private indefinitely. If you are a registered user, you can opt to keep the term private for one month, after which time it will become public and searchable.

Important note: bank-like security is not being employed in KudoZ, even for private questions. Sensitive terms should not be posted via KudoZ, even when using the privacy options.

2.13 - 질문: 거부하거나 등급 매김 없이 KudoZ 답변자들에게 감사를 전하는 방법은?

그 사람의 이름을 클릭, 프로필 페이지를 통해 글을 쓸 수 있습니다. 이렇게 하면 이메일이 보내집니다.

URL로 KudoZ 질문을 언급하실 수 있습니다.

2.14 - How do I grade my KudoZ question?

In order to grade your KudoZ question, you must click on the link that reads "Select this answer as most helpful" within the answer box of the response that was most helpful. Once you click on the "Select this answer as most helpful" link, a window will pop up that will allow you to award your KudoZ points and enter the KudoZ term in your glossary, the KudoZ Open Glossary (KOG), or both.

2.15 - Can I grade my question less than 24 hours after posting it?

KudoZ rule 2.10 recommends that askers allow at least twenty-four (24) hours to pass before closing a question.

To select the most helpful answer, the asker clicks on the link in the selected answer:




If less than 24 hours have elapsed since the question was posted, the following window will open:




If the asker chooses to wait until 24 hours have elapsed since the question was posted, the question will remain open and it will be graded normally by the asker.

If, on the other hand, the asker chooses to select the most helpful answer at this time, a new window will open to allow them to enter their preferences:




This window will allow the asker to select the most helpful answer, to assign points to it and to post a grading comment. The asker also has the option to select and edit a glossary entry associated with this answer.

If the asker does not select a glossary entry, the following message will be displayed:




If the asker makes a glossary entry, the message will include the following information:




Once this form is submitted, the question will remain open and new answers and peer comments can be added. About 72 hours after this submission, the system will grade the question in accordance with the following criteria:

a) If none of the answers has a net peer grading (agrees minus disagrees) of 2 or more, then the option selected by the asker will be used.

b) If at least one answer has a net peer grading higher than 1 and one of the answers has a net peer grading higher than the others, then this answer will be selected.

c) If at least one answer has a net peer grading higher than 1 and two or more answers share the same top peer grading, the answer posted last will be selected. The logic behind this criterion is that all those agreed to the second answer have seen the first one and still voted for the second, therefore preferring the second answer, while those that voted for the first one may not have seen the second answer when voted.

If the answer selected by the asker was chosen due to lack of votes or because the community voted for it, the amount of points, grading comment and (if entered) glossary entry selected by the asker will be chosen. If the asker did not make a glossary entry, one will be created automatically using the asked term and the suggested term.

If a different answer from the one selected by the asker was chosen by the community, 4 points will be assigned to this answer and a glossary entry will be created using the asked term and the suggested term.

After grading, the question will show the following message:

2.16 - I lost my KudoZ email confirmation link, how can I grade my KudoZ question now?

If you lost your KudoZ email confirmation link, you may retrieve another copy by either contacting support through the online ticket system and/or you may contact a moderator to have them resend the link to your email address. Remember, it is important that you send the KudoZ URL of your question when asking for another email confirmation.

If you don't remember the KudoZ URL, and you weren't logged in when submitting the question, you will have to contact support online to have the question graded for you.

2.17 - Can I award points to more than one answer?

No, you may only select one "most helpful" answer. Dividing points among answerers has been considered previously, but discarded based on the relatively little benefit which would be gained, and the difficulty of implementing administration of points and such problems as dividing four points among three answers. A useful guideline for cases where you cannot decide on an answer is to choose the one which helped you most. In the case of two or more equally helpful answers, you may choose the first (things tend to even out for answerers over time.)

2.18 - How can I close a question that has received answers without grading it?

Just click on the "Close" button. You will need to choose a reason for closing the question without grading it, and then click on "Close question".

2.19 - I closed a question without selecting a best answer. Can I reopen the question now?

Yes, you should click on the UNCLOSE button. In case of doubt submit a support ticket.

2.20 - How can I close a KudoZ question I have asked that has not been answered?

On your question page, click the 'Grade' button. That will take you to the next page, where you should click the 'Close without grading' button. (credit: Mikhail Kropotov)

2.21 - How can I stop receiving email reminders to grade my questions?

Askers are sent email reminders to grade open KudoZ questions with eligible answers after 5, 7, 9, and 11 days have elapsed since the question was asked.

To stop receiving these email reminders, the asker should do one of the following:

- Select the most helpful answer;
- Close the question without selecting an answer (click the "Close", "Close w/o Grading" buttons);
- Decline all current answers, but leave the question open to receive future answers. To do so, click "[None of these answers are appropriate; do not remind me to select one]" at the top of the list of answers.

2.22 - What is the criteria for the number of points (1-4) I should award to the selected answer?

When deciding how many points to award, please consider this scale as a guideline:

4: Answer was acceptable, explanation was good, reference was provided (or not needed)
3: Answer was acceptable, explanation was good, but reference was lacking
2: Answer was acceptable
1: Answer was somewhat helpful

2.23 - Points were awarded to an answer to my question but I would like to select another answer instead. How can I un-grade my question?

To un-grade a question you have asked in order to award the points to the answer you found most helpful, you will need to first obtain the agreement of the answerer to whom the points have been given. Both you and the answerer should express this agreement either to the assigned moderator(s), or via support request.

2.24 - Can I use KudoZ if I need help to get a single term translated into different languages?

Yes, you can, provided the term in question qualifies as "term help" as described here.

1.3 - Answering

3.1 - 질문: KudoZ 질문을 볼 수가 없습니다. 어떻게 해야 됩니까?

ProZ.com의 지원팀에게 URL과 그 페이지의 스크린샷을 보내 주십시오.

3.2 - When I search for questions from members only, I notice something odd.

Exercising the members-only option (available under "asker type" on the KudoZ list page) will restrict the questions you see to those asked by users who were members *at the time they asked*. Because membership category of askers has only recently been recorded, the number of results will be small. Also, the fact that there are various forms of membership (full, partial), and the fact that some memberships will expire, may create the impression that something is amiss.

3.3 - If the question is closed and points were awarded can I still answer it?

Once the points are awarded, the question is closed, but even closed you can answer it.
The logic behind that is that we would allow you to give all the help that you can to the asker, even if (s)he already decided (s)he has found the best answer to (her)his question.

3.4 - Can I edit the answer I've given to a KudoZ question?

No. Editing an answer would be unfair to other answerers. You might consider adding a comment to your answer. In some cases, a wrong answer can be hidden by the answerer and the correct answer posted in its place.

3.5 - 질문: 답변 란에 "숨김"이라는 말이 나타나는 이유는 무었입니까?

당신은 자신의 답변을 숨길 수 있습니다. 이는 답변을 철회하는 방법입니다.

3.6 - 답변: '보이지 않음'으로 설정해 놓은 답변을 보이게 하려면?

'보이지 않음'으로 설정해 놓은 답변을 다시 '보임'으로 바꿀 수는 없습니다. "답변을 숨김"링크는 답변을 영구적으로 숨기고 싶을 때만 이용하셨어야 합니다.

3.7 - If I hide my answer and submit a new one, is this against site rules for answering?

As with submitting more than one answer, this is acceptable if done occasionally. Systematically offering multiple translations, whether hiding previous answers or not, is against site rules for answering KudoZ. See the rules for answering KudoZ.

3.8 - What does it mean when a question is marked "Not for points"?

Some users believe that the awarding of KudoZ points detracts from the KudoZ experience. It is possible for such users to opt to make a question "not for points" when asking. KudoZ points can not be earned by answering such questions.

3.9 - If I answer "not for points" questions, will they appear in the KudoZ history in my profile page?

Yes. Such questions will be marked with a color that shows points were not available.

3.10 - Does answering "not for points" questions improve my position in the KudoZ leaderboard or ProZ.com's translator directory?

No. The benefits of answering "not for points" questions are not technical, they are only indirect (learning, helping, networking, etc.)

3.11 - Does the person who asks a "Not for points" question still have to close the question?

Yes, askers must still select the answer they feel is most helpful, and optionally enter the terms into the glossary.

3.12 - Are points available for answering questions which have been restricted to certain individuals or groups?

If a question has been restricted to a closed list of specific users, points may not be awarded. However, points can be awarded in the case of questions limited to users of certain types.

3.13 - Can I ask an asker for more context?

Yes. Context can be requested in the discussion area of the question. Requests for context should be in line with site rules, however. Asking for context and stating, for example, "don't hold your breath. This is all we're going to get. This asker doesn't believe in context", would be out of line with http://www.proz.com/siterules/kudoz_answ/3.7#3.7.

3.14 - Can I point out that the wrong language pair or question category has been chosen?

Yes. Note that moderators and KudoZ editors can change these fields, and it is usually best to contact one directly, instead of commenting on it in the question itself.

Care should be taken to point out the possible error appropriately. Admonishing the asker to pay attention next time, for example, does not constitute a linguistic discussion and would be against http://www.proz.com/siterules/kudoz_general/1.3#1.3.

3.15 - Can I point out to the asker that the question has already been posted before and is in the glossary?

Yes. However, pointing out that a question is already in the glossary and asking the asker why they chose to post the question anyway, for example, would be against http://www.proz.com/siterules/kudoz_answ/3.7#3.7.

3.16 - Can I post a reference comment to a question where I have already posted an answer?

No. Once you have provided an answer you should add all additional information in the answer itself.

1.4 - Peer commenting

4.1 - Can I agree with more than one answer to a question?

Yes. You are encouraged to agree with as many answers as you consider correct, and disagree with as many answers as you consider incorrect.

4.2 - What happens after someone disagrees with an answer?

Disagreeing is actually just a signal to the person who asked the "help" KudoZ question that you (and maybe others) don't feel the answer is correct, the asker is then free to take or not to take the suggestion.

The only "mechanical" effect is that if the question is auto-graded, disagrees count against an answer for being chosen.

Grading from qualified peers is the normal way to grade and close "glossary-building" KudoZ questions.

4.3 - 질문: 동료 코멘트를 올렸는데, 거기에 대해 받은 회답에 응답을 하고 싶습니다. 그렇게 할 수 있는지요?

아니오. KudoZ가 본래의 목적에서 벗어나는 것을 방지하기 위하여, 각 질문에 대해 여러 차례의 교신은 허용되지 않습니다. 동료가 코멘트를 하면 질문자는 그에 대한 회답을 할 수 있습니다. 그러나 교신은 거기에서 끝납니다.
(동료 코멘트의 수정, 그리고 코멘트에 대한 답변 기능은 틀린 철자법을 고치거나 잘못된 링크를 바로잡거나, 또는 그 비슷한 교정을 위해 제공되는 것입니다.)
당신의 관점을 분명하게 그리고 간결하게 하도록 하십시오, 기회는 한 번 뿐입니다.

4.4 - I see a link to "edit/delete" my peer comment. What is that for?

The "edit/delete" link gives you the ability to edit your peer comment. Please remember that this ability is provided only for the purpose of editing spelling, correcting broken links, or making similar changes.

4.5 - Can I comment on an answerer's confidence level in my peer comment?

No. Peer comments should be purely linguistic in nature (see KudoZ rule 3.5). Making comments or insinuations regarding an answerer's confidence level would not be in line with KudoZ rule 3.7.

1.5 - KudoZ editors

5.1 - I see some users (not moderators) reclassifying, or removing, others' questions. How are these members selected?

Moderators may invite members/registered users who have at least 300 KudoZ PRO points to read the guidelines for reclassifying and squashing, and take a short test. Those who pass have the right to edit in these ways.

Note: members who have KudoZ-related administrative actions may not be selected as KudoZ editors. Likewise, KudoZ editors who accumulate KudoZ-related administrative actions may have their editing rights revoked.

5.2 - 질문: 다른 사람들의 질문을 수정할 수 있도록 하는 옵션이 있던데, 왜 그렇습니까?

KudoZ 포인트가 일정한 수치에 이르면 (500), 다른 사람이 올린 질문을 정정할 수 있도록 이러한 옵션이 나타납니다. 만일 질문이 스페인어를 영어로 번역하는 것이어야 하는데 영어를 스페인어로 번역하도록 게재되어 있다면, 정정을 추진하십시오.

1.6 - KudoZ notifications

6.1 - 질문: 저는 KudoZ 이메일 통지를 전혀 받지 못하고 있는데요?

만일 당신이 KudoZ 이메일 통지를 전혀 받지 못하고 있고, 한 번도 받은 적이 없다면 프로필 페이지의 설정을 체크해 보십시오. 만일 당신의 프로필 설정에 다음과 같은 점이 있다면 당신은 통지를 받지 못할 것입니다.
-언어 쌍을 기입하지 않았다
-전문 분야를 기입하지 않았다
-'이메일 선호' 에서 'KudoZ 이메일 통지'를 선택하지 않았다.

전에는 이메일 통지를 받았었고, 바뀐 것이 아무것도 없는데 통지가 오는 것이 멈췄다면, 거기에는 여러가지 원인이 있을 수 있습니다:
-

6.2 - 질문: 저는 받아야 할 KudoZ 통지를 다 받지 못하고 있습니다.

KudoZ 질문에 대한 이메일 통보가 보내질 때는 다음의 기준이 고려됩니다: 언어 쌍, 주제 분야, 그리고 난이도. 만일 질문에 대한 이메일 통지를 받지 못했다면, 프로필에 그러한 조건들이 제대로 설정되어 있는지 확인하십시오. 설정이 제대로 되어 있음이 확실하다면 당신이 마땅히 통지를 받아야 함에도 데 받지 못한 한 개 또는 그 이상의 KudoZ 질문 URL을 포함, 지원 요청을 제출하십시오. ProZ.com 의 담당자가 통보 이메일이 ProZ.com 서버를 떠났는지 아닌지 체크할 것입니다. (이메일이 ProZ.com 서버를 떠났다면 당신의 ISP 나 당신의 컴퓨터에 문제가 있을 지도 모릅니다)

6.3 - I am getting too many KudoZ email notifications

To reduce the volume of KudoZ email notifications you receive, try selecting fewer subject areas in your KudoZ notification preferences. To stop receiving KudoZ email notifications altogether, just select the 'No' option in the first question on the KudoZ Dashboard..

6.4 - Sometimes I get emailed questions that I can't see on the site, and sometimes I see questions but have not been emailed...

Email and viewing preferences are set separately. Email preferences are set via your dashboard - http://www.proz.com/dashboard - and viewing preferences are set via the KudoZ list page - http://www.proz.com/kudoz

6.5 - What is a daily digest?

It's a message that contains a brief summary of the questions that have been asked in the day, as well as a short listing of any answers to those questions so far.

6.6 - 질문: 저의 팀으로부터 KudoZ에 관한 통지를 받으려면?

당신의 팀의 회원은 누구나 KudoZ 질문을 당신의 팀 전용으로 게재할 수 있습니다. 이러한 종류의 질문에 대한 통지를 받으려면 '통지'를 켜두시기만 하면 됩니다.

6.7 - Can I track a particular KudoZ question?

Yes. If you are a paying member you can track any KudoZ question. For each question you will see a track setting box in the left navigation column of the page which looks like this:

When you check this box and click on save, you will receive a notification each time a reference post or an answer is posted.

Also, there is a selection box in the discussion area that allows the tracking of the discussion entries of a particular question:



When you select the "track question" box, the "track discussion" will also be selected. You can then de-select any of them independently.

When you post a reference comment, an answer or a discussion entry, the "track discussion" box is selected. If you de-select it once it will no longer be automatically selected again in this question.

6.8 - How can I get notifications when a certain person asks a KudoZ question?

In order to get a notification every time a certain registered user asks a KudoZ question you have to "flag" this asker as follows:

In your top drop-down menu select KudoZ -> Dashboard



On the left panel of your KudoZ dashboard, select the option "Asker flags & filters"



This is the box used for flagging askers. In this case no asker has been flagged yet:



To flag an asker you should enter the user's ID in the corresponding box and pres "Flag asker". If you don't know this number you should click on the link "Search" to open a search tool:



In this case a search by name brings the user's ID and username:



Once the asker was flagged, it will look like this in your dashboard page:



And it will look like this when the flagged asker posts a question:



Notification will be sent to you of flagged askers' questions, even when they do not match your notification settings.

6.9 - I don't want notifications of a particular person's questions-- what can I do?

If you become convinced that a certain member is not likely to ask questions that are of interest to you, you may opt to "filter" that member's questions (regardless of your notification settings.)

To do so you should select KudoZ -> Dashboard in your top drop-down menu:



On the left panel of your KudoZ dashboard, select the option "Asker flags & filters"



This is the box used for filtering askers. In this case no asker has been filtered yet:



To filter an asker you should enter the user's ID in the corresponding box and pres "Filter asker". If you don't know this number you should click on the link "Search answerers" to open a search tool:



In this case a search by name brings the user's ID and username:



Once the asker was filtered, it will look like this in your dashboard page:



And it will look like this when the filtered asker posts a question:



Notification will NOT be sent to you of filtered askers' questions, even when they do match your notification settings. Also, these questions will not be shown to you when you select KudoZ - Answer questions, even when they match your selection criteria.

6.10 - How can I get notifications when a certain user posts a KudoZ answer or reference comment?

In order to get a notification every time a certain registered user posts a KudoZ answer or reference comment you have get this user's authorization to track his/her answers. To do so:

In your top drop-down menu select My ProZ.com -> Dashboard



In the dashboard page select "Answerer tracking"



In the answerer tracking page you can click on "Search for answerer" and enter the corresponding information on name, username of profile number and then click on "Search" and on the found profile name.



At this point the dashboard will show the corresponding profile number and username. You may send a personalized message before sending the request by means of the "track answerer" button.




You can also start this procedure by clicking on the "track this answerer" in an answer or reference comment posted by this user:




After submitting the request, the dashboard will record it as pending:



While the request is pending, you will see a special message in each answer or reference comment posted by this user:



Once your request was accepted, the dashboard will show the following indication:



If you want to stop tracking this user, click on "remove".

You will also see the following in each answer or reference comment posted by the user you are tracking:




You will receive a notification each time this user posts an answer or a reference comment.

6.11 - What are my options for the KudoZ tracking feature?

There are three basic conditions that you can configure selecting My ProZ.com -> Dashboard in your top drop-down menu :



In the dashboard page select "Answerer tracking"



In the box "Who can track you" on the right side of the dashboard you can select the following options:

* Allow anyone to track my answers: requests will be automatically approved.
* Ask me for permission on a case-by-case basis: you will be asked each time a request is received.
* Do not allow anyone to track my answers: all requests will be automatically rejected

6.12 - A user asked for authorization to track my KudoZ answers. Why would someone want to do this?

While the motives could be different for each user, two likely reasons to do so would be (a) to learn from someone who is good in a certain field of expertise or (b) to evaluate a translator for possible future collaborations. Remember that you can revoke the right to track your answers at any time.

6.13 - A site user would like to track my answers, what should I do?

To work on your answer tracking options, select My ProZ.com -> Dashboard in your top drop-down menu :



In the dashboard page select "Answerer tracking"



On this page you will see the notification that you have a pending request to be tracked by a colleague and, on the right side, the identity and message from the colleague willing who sent the request:



This right side panel allows you to approve or decline the request. If you chose to approve it you will be asked for a confirmation:



Note that you can at this point select the option "Allow anyone else who wants to track my answers to do so as well", so that further requests will be automatically approved.

Once you approved one or more users for tracking your answers, you will find them at the table of colleagues tracking you:



This panel allows you to revoke individually the permission to track your answers granted to any of those colleagues.

6.14 - How can I be notified of KudoZ questions in other language pairs?

To be notified of questions asked in language pairs you do not want to list as working language pairs in your profile, just report the language pairs in question as interest language pairs.

To do so, go to your Profile Updater and report your 'non-working' language pairs in the Languages section.

Once reported, click on Edit next to each language pair just added and select I only have an interest in this pair, do not show it in my profile. Remember to save all the changes you apply.

Finally, go to your KudoZ dashboard and set your KudoZ notifications preferences for these language pairs as you have done for your working language pairs.

2 - Glossary-building KudoZ

You may also be interested in:

2.1 - What is the purpose of the glossary-building KudoZ (GBK) questions?

The primary purpose of this new question type is to enable the ProZ.com community to together find the best translation of a given term into a given language, and to incorporate the term and its translation into an authoritative glossary which will be made available openly under the Creative Commons "by" license ("CC-by").

A secondary purpose of the new format is to provide opportunities for KudoZ participation (along with the associated benefits of networking, learning and professional differentiation), in pairs and fields in which few questions are currently asked.

2.2 - How do glossary-building KudoZ (GBK) work?

A glossary-building KudoZ (GBK) 'transaction' involves three steps:

(1) Posting: A term is posted by an authorized person for translation into one or more pairs. A definition and one or more example sentences are included with the question. Notification of the GBK-type question is sent to interested and qualified site users.

(2) Submission: During the 72 hours following the posting, qualified parties are able to suggest translations including terms, definitions, example sentences and optionally references. These parties will also be able to post peer comments and grading on the answers provided.

(3) At the end of the submission period the system will attempt to close the question. If successful, a notification will be sent to the person who posted the selected answer, 4 points will be assigned to that answer (unless the question was posted as not-for-points) and the a glossary entry will be created and stored. If closing proves impossible, notifications will be sent to all interested and qualified parties and a selection phase will last until the peer-grading received allows for the closure of the question.

2.3 - Who can participate in the glossary-building KudoZ (GBK) questions?

Participation in a GBK question, including answering, posting references and grading, is limited to site users who (1) Have the corresponding field(s) of expertise among their "specialty" fields. (2) Have the corresponding language pair among their working ones. (3) Are native in either source or target languages.

During the selection phase (questions still open after the first 72-hours period) participation is extended to site users who satisfy the language pair and native language criteria and have the field of expertise among their working ones.

All users can post discussion entries.

2.4 - Why is the participation limited in glossary-building KudoZ?

The purpose of the glossary-building KudoZ is to coordinate the efforts of willing members of the ProZ.com community in building up an authoritative glossary of terms and their translations in many languages and fields. With a focus on the quality of the resulting glossary entries and ample time for submission and selection of answers, it was decided to limit participation to specialists in the field and language pair.

2.5 - Why are these limitations not applied to "help term" KudoZ as well?

The main goal of "term help" KudoZ is to provide those in need of translation assistance with access to timely help. Therefore the access is open to allow the participation of anybody willing and able to help. The asker selects the most helpful among the responses received (and awards points for it).

2.6 - What are the additional fields of expertise?

A GBK has a main field of expertise and may have one or more additional fields of expertise. These additional field are also included in the filter (notifications and access to the question).

For instance a question with primary field "telecommunications" may also be related to "computers: software" and to "Computers: systems, networks"

This will be only related to notifications and access (and in the future to searches in the glossary). The corresponding KudoZ points will be assigned to the primary field.

The additional fields are included in the GBK term searches.

2.7 - I added in my profile the specialty field needed to answer a GBK question but I still can't answer it.

Users who adds a new "specialty" field of expertise to their profiles will not be provided access to GBK filtered by this particular field for 72 hours after implementing this change. This aims to preventing users from modifying their profiles in order to "follow" the specialties requested in the questions.

This restriction will not apply to profiles created less than a month ago.

2.8 - How are GBK questions graded?

At the end of the 72-hours submission phase (and periodically if the question entered in a selection phase) an 'auto-grading robot' makes its selection based on the net number of peer 'agrees' received by each answer, according to the following rules:
* To be considered, an answer must have at least two "net agrees" (agrees minus disagrees).
* The answer with the highest number of net agrees is selected.
* If two answers have the same number of net agrees, the one posted by the answerer with the corresponding language pair ranked higher is selected.
* If still undecided, the alternative entered latest is selected. The logic behind this criterion is that all those agreed to the second answer have seen the first one and still voted for the second, therefore preferring the second answer, while those that voted for the first one may not have seen the second answer when voted.

2.9 - The submission period for a GBK question has ended and the question is still open. Can I still submit a translation?

Yes. Answers can be posted during the selection period, or even when the question has been closed.

2.10 - Can I provide more than one answer as different options when answering a GBK question?

Answerers in GBK can provide more than one answer to the same term, as this is the proper way to offer synonyms. In this case the example sentence(s) should include the term offered in each answer.

2.11 - Can I post more than one term in my answer to a GBK question?

No. Even if you know two or more different terms to answer a GBK question you should provide only one of them in your answer, the one used in the example sentence(s).

If you know synonyms or other possible interpretations of the term asked besides the one you already offered in your answer, you can provide additional answer(s), each containing just a term, and with definition and example sentences related to that term.

2.12 - Is it OK to to answer a GBK question suggesting the same term already offered in another answer?

Yes. A GBK answer includes a term, a definition and at least one example sentence. The term is only a part of the answer, and it could happen that the second answer offering the same term includes, for instance, a better definition.

Time should not play such a central role in GBK, where a better answer should be more relevant than a faster one.

2.13 - I want (or do not want) to receive notifications about GBK questions, what should I do?

You should un-check (check) the option "Ignore glossary-building questions " and click on "Save settings" in the KudoZ dashboard.

2.14 - I want to receive only notifications about GBK questions, what should I do?

You should select the option Asker type = "Glossary-building questions " in the KudoZ dashboard.

2.15 - How are the GBK questions created?

"Glossary-building KudoZ concepts" are selected from current KudoZ entries or from other sources, and are edited to make sure they have the proper terms, definitions and examples of use. This is currently being done in English, but other languages could be added later.

This is being currently done by site staff, but in the future this task will be performed by site members who will be part of a "GBK (Glossary-building KudoZ) team".

2.16 - There is no "neutral" option in the peer comments. How can I leave a comment to the answerer?

If you are allowed to provide a peer-comment, then you should be able to post a note to the answerer by using the link provided at the bottom of the answer.



The messages posted will be visible above the voting area of the question:

2.17 - What is the "Glossary-building KudoZ questions" box displayed in the home page? Can I customize what I see there?

Users who meet the criteria to answer GBK questions and have a minimum of 10 open questions available to answer will be presented with a box displaying a randomly selected open question.

Like many other home page features, users can select not to see this box, or customize its position by clicking the "customize" link on the feature or selecting
"My ProZ.com" -> "My settings" -> "Site settings"

4 - GlossPost

4.1 - What is GlossPost?

GlossPost is a searchable database of links to glossaries on the Internet. It has been compiled by members of ProZ.com and the YahooGroup of the same name created in February 2000 by Brazilian translator and conference interpreter Maria Eugenia Farre. The database is maintained by a group of volunteer moderators, however any ProZ.com member can search the database or submit new glossary URLs.

4.2 - What are the goals driving GlossPost at ProZ.com?

We have three main goals:

- To create an online terminology resource with searching capabilities specifically designed for the needs of translators.
- To enlarge the database by benefiting from the collaborative spirit of ProZ.com users.
- To ensure the accessibility of GlossPost and honor the commitment of providing a free and useful resource for translators across the globe.

4.3 - What are the possibilities created by the collaboration between GlossPost and ProZ.com?

In brief: creating a larger database of glossary URLs, with addresses in more language combinations, annotated by translators. Since its inception, GlossPost has attracted mostly translators specializing in Western languages. Since ProZ.com is a huge multilingual community with active participants across the whole linguistic spectrum, we hope that translators of other languages will also feel compelled to add links to the glossaries they use in their daily work to the benefit of all.

We also hope to contribute with the expertise acquired in moderating GlossPost to make the new site a useful and efficient online terminology resource.

4.4 - How many links from the original GlossPost archives have been included?

At launch, approximately 1,600 links from the archives have been included automatically. This doesn't cover the entire GlossPost original database, but there are plans to import more links in the future, as time permits.

4.5 - Will the links in the GlossPost database at ProZ.com be checked to prevent dead pages and repeat URLs?

In our new home at ProZ.com, we want to address all the concerns and issues that affected GlossPost subscribers in the past. Link rot is one of them, and we are not the only sufferers. The GlossPost URLs at ProZ.com will be checked periodically using an automated function to make sure that the database remains as current as possible. Also, manual editing of the URLs has been made possible. Links can be checked and marked good or bad, made invisible or visible to other users by the users themselves and also by the moderators. Incomplete entries can be supplemented by addition information from other users.

4.6 - What are the searching capabilities included in the GlossPost database at ProZ.com?

The searching capabilities have been greatly improved. At the new database, users will be able to browse the glossary URLs, search by keyword, language combination, discipline or BSO category. For obvious reasons, the ability to search by language combination was one of the most common requests received from GlossPost subscribers. A feature enabling automated announcements of glossary URLs in the language combinations specified by ProZ.com users is also being studied.

4.7 - How can I contribute to the expansion of this glossary database?

By posting the URLs of glossaries, dictionaries and other terminology resources you find on the web.

You can also contribute to this initiative by editing and verifying the links included in the database (this option may or may not be available, depending on your site activity level). Also, since the project has just been kicked off, it will be extremely valuable to get as much feedback as possible about the design and results the searchers are getting. Please send your feedback to support.

4.8 - What is the posting procedure?

The posting form can be found here.

The fields are:

URL: enter the URL for the resource (glossary, terminology database or dictionary)
Title: enter a title for the resource, e.g. Hydrology Glossary or Dog Breeds or Turkish Language Dictionary
Source: enter the source for the resource, e.g. Unicode.org or Association of Dog Breeders of America or Academie Francaise
Comment: enter useful comments pertaining to the URL, e.g. "reliable translations", "single-page glossary", "downloadable as .pdf", "watch your step, contains typos".
Source Language: select the source language(s) from the list. If many languages are included, as is commonly the case with EU resources, you can select the All/Many languages radio button.
Target Language: select the target language(s) from the list. If many languages are included, as is commonly the case with EU resources, you can select the All/Many languages radio button.
Disciplines: select one or more disciplines, as you would when submitting a KudoZ question.
BSO Category: select one or more BSO categories

When you have completed the fields you want to add, press the Submit button. It's not necessary to fill in all the fields, but if possible, try to fill in as many as you can. This will help us build a better database and enable you to get more precise results in the future. Note, however, that some fields are mandatory and marked with a * for your convenience. Your entry will not be vetted before you have completed the mandatory fields.

4.9 - In what language should I post?

The GlossPost moderator suggests and encourages users to post in English. However, we realize that this may not always be possible, due to multiculturalism considerations. Comments in other languages are considered OK, but for the benefit of all and better search results, try to include at least a few words in English in the keyword field and/or give a title to the glossary in English.

4.10 - As a ProZ.com user, will I get any benefits from posting glossaries?

Yes! Members will be awarded 10 browniz points for each URL submitted, and 5 browniz points for each edited entry. The name of the poster and editor will be acknowledged when URLs are displayed.

4.11 - How can I report bugs or send suggestions?

Feedback is always welcome. Please send an e-mail to support.

4.12 - What will happen to the GlossPost list at Yahoogroups?

The GlossPost list at Yahoogroups will be eventually phased out and replaced by the new resource at ProZ.com. For the time being, however, it will continue to run under the moderatorship of Maria Eugenia Farre. There will also be some forwarding of links from GlossPost at Yps and the Translator Resources Forum to GlossPost at ProZ.com. However, GlossPost subscribers and Translator Resources Forum users are encouraged to post their new finds to GlossPost at ProZ.com.

4.13 - Where can I learn more about the history of GlossPost?

This interview with GlossPost creator Maria Eugenia Farre contains more information on the list's history.
