Recent discussion about ProZ.com translation contests

Discussion about 21st translation contest: "The tides of tech" in English to Tamil	Results of ( English- Tamil )translation contest I think considering that the participants have spent valuable time, it is worthwhile to announce the results to the extent it is possible. There are seven finalists. Even if the entrants can know their relative position, it will be good. It ts very disappointing to know that the results cannot be announced because of sufficient peers have not expressed their views. In the worst scenario, I even suggest the staff of Proz.com should do the review and announce the results. Regards, Devanathan	DEVANATHAN RENGACHARI India
