Discussion about Homo-digital: "La sociedad transparente" in Spanish to Portuguese (BR)	Interesting Text I enjoyed participating in this contest very much and I'm especially excited for winning two contests in a row (ES > PT-Br and EN > PT-Br). This particular contest presented a text that was interesting, engaging, relatively challenging, and on a current topic of interest. I hope to participate in future contests. Thank you all who voted for my translation. Gostei muito de ter participado deste concurso e estou contente por haver ganhado em dois concursos consecutivamente (ES > PT-Br e EN > PT-Br). Este concurso em particular apresentou um texto interessante, envolvente, relativamente desafiador, e acerca de um tópico de interesse atual. Espero participar de outros concursos no futuro. Obrigado a tod@s que votaram em minha tradução.	Oliveira Simões United States
Congrats winners in "La sociedad transparente" in English, Portuguese (BR), German and Italian	Hello all, In the translation contest *La sociedad transparente, the finals section came to a close. Winners were determined in the following pairs: Spanish to English: Laura Nagle* Spanish to Portuguese (BR): Oliveira Simões Spanish to German: a three-way tie! Zea_Mays, Christina Pauly, and Mag.phil. Nikola Simone Greier Spanish to Italian: Andrea Brocanelli Congratulations to the winners, and thank you to everyone who voted! In the following pairs, too few votes were received to define a winning translation: Spanish to Arabic » Spanish to Croatian » Spanish to Czech » Spanish to Dutch » Spanish to French » Spanish to Polish » Spanish to Portuguese (EU) » Spanish to Romanian » Spanish to Russian » Spanish to Serbian » For these pairs, a two-week voting extension will be made, to attempt to get more voters, after which pairs which still have too few votes will be put in feedback mode. If you are able to vote in one of these language pairs and have not yet done so, your votes will be appreciated.	Jared Tabor Argentina
Discussion about 17th Translation Contest: "The Sounds of Silence" in English to Haitian-Creole	Lack of Votes in "The Sounds of Silence" Contest- Disappointing from Our Community Hello Everyone- This is to all of the Haitian Creole translators who were apparently too busy to choose a winner in "The Sounds of Silence" contest- it's very disappointing that we all had put forth considerable effort to do the translation and participate in the competition yet it was entirely in vain since not enough individuals from our community voted. This is sad- especially considering the fact that all the other language pairs were well-represented and well-participated in. What does this say about our community as Haitian Creole translators? I can think of a few things myself. All it took was literally 60 seconds out of your day to choose a winner. Ava	Ava Lauryn Wells-Quantrell United States
Finals open for "La sociedad transparente", cast your votes and help determine the winners	Hello all, The finals phase for the translation contest *La sociedad transparente* opens today. If you have not done so already, you can add your votes now to help determine the winners in the following language pairs: Spanish to Arabic » Spanish to Croatian » Spanish to Czech » Spanish to Dutch » Spanish to English » Spanish to French » Spanish to German » Spanish to Italian » Spanish to Polish » Spanish to Portuguese (BR) » Spanish to Portuguese (EU) » Spanish to Romanian » Spanish to Russian » Spanish to Serbian » (Thank you to the participants who submitted the final entries that helped move Croatian, Czech and Dutch onward!) The following pairs received too few entries to go to finals and have been placed in feedback mode, where they can be viewed and discussed: Spanish to Armenian » Spanish to Burmese » Spanish to Chinese » Spanish to Danish » Spanish to Estonian » Spanish to Greek » Spanish to Hebrew » Spanish to Slovak » Spanish to Ukrainian » Finals are set to close on October 5th, after which winners will be announced.
