vp_faq (Locations: templates/vp_faq.html div.ol.div.p:97)

Quote from the comment of the translator: "I think that in this sentence a fullstop is missing: ... will seek an alternative social direction ( fullstop ) Social change was always...."

"No government in history has ever planned ahead and directed society into the next phase of social evolution. Established orders want to perpetuate themselves. Unfortunately, it may take an economic breakdown and people becoming disillusioned with their leaders before they will seek an alternative social direction Social change was always brought about by economic collapse, corruption in government, abuse of the population, etc. Governments are generally comprised of businessmen, lawyers, and other self-appointed individuals with personal and corporate interest rather than upgrading society as a whole."

People would be free from boring and monotonous jobs which will enable them to encourage and solve the problem of the present and near future.

This is in the FAQ number 73. The way it's written suggests that the problem would be encouraged......

We're stuck as to how to correct this and translate it correctly.

VP hugs
:D

it is:

it should be:

With the elimination of debt, the fear of losing one's job will no longer be a threat This assurance, combined with education on how to relate to one another in a much more meaningful way, could considerably reduce both mental and physical stress and leave us free to explore and develop our abilities.

Dot missing at the end of the sentence.

Where can I find the true meaning of TVPCore as "core" could have more than one meaning when translated.
It could mean:

Center of
the essence of
the point of
something basic
essential
central
main
etc.

:huhwhat: :help:

Torch, the "TVPDesign Team" page is one of several that I just grabbed from the site in order to update/add to Pootle.
Please keep in mind that any pages requiring updates that gave Pootle problems during the last update process will be fully replaced this time (not just another update attempt). I'll soon add an announcement post to all language team master sections explaining this in more detail.

The LTI page shouldn't need translating, since the only folks who should be applying to join here should at least be able to read and understand the content of that page in English. However, the page does need some adjusting to bring it up to date. ^^

Translating or not translating the LTI part of VP-Website

Hi Ray,

concerning the LTI prescription on VP-Site:

I would say you're not completely right. The second proofreader should more have a genuine understanding and flow of words in german. he is the one who polishes the mother tongue. he doesn't even have to speak english in the "worst case". so to me it makes some sense to translate this section as well... Don't you think?

How about discussing this on the next meeting? If we are gonna seek the help of monolingual people, we should reword parts of the page to promote this need of ours.

I'm prepared to be eaten alive by the english language team, but I think this could do some rewriting.

"The aim of this new social design is to encourage an incentive system no longer directed toward the shallow and self-centered goals of wealth, property, and power. These new incentives would encourage people toward self-fulfillment and creativity, both materially and spiritually."

First it says what the incentives would NOT be directed toward, then it goes "These new incentives...". What new incentives? There were no "new incentives" mentioned, therefore it's unknown what is it directed to. I know I'm looking at it from my own native language perspective and wandering into a foreign territory, a sequence like that would never work in lithuanian. I'll translate it to sound right, it's no problem, I just thought I'd make an observation for consideration.

Almost forgot to mention, this is in the FAQ, under the "What is a Resource-Based Economy?".

Incentive

"These new incentives" refer to "an incentive system no longer directed...". I notice that English speakers very often do this, i.e. start a few sentences with a singular subject and end up with a plural subject, or vice-versa. Usually when translating I try to correct this by making both either plural or singular. In this case I would translate "a system of incentives" instead of an incentive system, which would make the next sentence more logical.
