1.3 - Je "saidia" ya KudoZ hufanya kazi vipi?

Shughuli ya "saidia" ya KudoZ inahusisha hatua tatu:

(1) Mtu ambaye ndiye mhitaji wa kusaidiwa katika tafsiri anaiweka istilahi au kauli, huku akiweka muktadha wake pamoja na lugha lengwa pendelewa.

(2) Mtumiaji wa tuvuti anapendekeza tafsiri, anatoa maelezo na baadhi ya marejeleo.

(3) Mwulizaji anahakiki hayo mapendekezo na anatoza alama 1-4 kwa yule mtumiaji wa tuvuti aliyetoa tafsiri inayodhaniwa kwamba ndiyo iliyomsaidia zaidi au iliyosahihi zaidi.

1.4 - Alama za KudoZ zina uzuri gani?

Baadhi ya wateja hutumia alama za KudoZ kuwekea alama watafsiri kwa kufuzu zaidi. Mantiki ni kwamba kama utahitaji huduma za mtafsiri aliye na uelewa wa dawa, mtu aliyepata alama 300 kutoka katika maswali ya dawa huenda akawa na nafasi bora zaidi ya kwanza kuangalia.

1.5 - Alama za KudoZ zinasasishwa vipi?

Alama za KudoZ zinajumulishwa na kuonyeshwa katika baadhi ya sehemu kote kwenye tovuti na zinasasishwa mara moja kwa siku, huku zile katika sehemu nyingine zinasasishwa hapo kwa hapo. Kwa hivyo kunaweza kuwa na makosa ya muda, lakini masahihisho hufanywa pale ambapo alama zote zimejumlishwa mara moja kwa siku.

Wanachama wanaweza kulazimisha mfumo na kusasisha alama zao hapo kwa hapo. Nenda katika ukurasa wa muhtasari wa alama za KudoZ na bofya katika "jumulisho za kusasisha alama sasa"

Participation in KudoZ questions, particularly using the peer comment system to "boost" an answer, or in asking and answering to gain KudoZ points, should not be carried out among the profiles of friends, family or close associates, in order to maintain a certain level of transparency in the KudoZ arena. In cases where interacting profiles are shown to be of this type, a mutual block may be applied to the profiles (this blocks the interaction between specific profiles only, not participation in KudoZ at large) to ensure fairness.

1.9 - Nifanye nini kama sheria za marika KudoZ zinavunjwa?

Kama utatazama KudoZ rules zikivunjwa unafaa kulejelea swala hili mdhibiti wa lugha hiyo husika.Orodha ya wadhibiti inapatikana katika here.



Makundi mengi ya lugha yanayomdhibiti mmoja au zaidi aliyejitolea. Kati hali kama hizi utaweza kuona chini ya ukurasa wa swali kijisanduku kidogo kilicho na jina la mdhibiti na kiungo cha "Mwito wa swala hili."







Wakati ukibofya kiungo hiki kijisanduku kidogo kitafunguka hili kikuwezeshe kufafanua ukiukuji wa kanuni ambayo ulidhania katika sentensi hiyo. Huu ni uwanja wa lazima.Unapowasilisha taarifa hii itajumuishwa kwenye baruapepe ya umbo ambayo itatumwa kwake mdhibiti.







Kama utapendelea kuwasiliana na mdhibiti moja kwa moja, tafadhali kuwa na hakika ya kujuisha taarifa yote ifaayo pamoja na viungo vya maswali hayo husika, nk.



Kama kundi la lugha halina mdhibiti aliyeorodheshwa, unaweza kuwasiliana na mfanyakazi wa tovuti kuhusiana na swali hili kupitia support request.



Kumbuka kwamba hufai kuwasiliana na mtu(wa) ambaye unaamini kuwa anakiuka sheria za tuvuti moja kwa moja au kutumia fomu ya KudoZ, kuweka ujumbe unaolenga sheria za tovuti kwenye (tazama) KudoZ sheria ya 1.3. wasiliana na mdhibiti au mfanyakazi wa tuvuti.

1.10 - Ni nini mantiki iliyo katika kategoria za KudoZ?

Maswali yaKudoZ, yanaweza kuwekwa katika kategoria ukitumia orodha ya nyanja mbalimbali zilizo na takribani maingizo 100. Orodha hii ambayo iliundwa kutokana na takwimu kutoka kwenye mada yaliyoingizwa kwa matini huru kwa watumiaji huru wa ProZ.com. Kwa njia moja au nyingine haieleweki kwa kusudio lake. kwa mfano, kwa sababu mwanachama mmoja anaweza kufikiria "otomatiki" huku mwingine akifikiria na "magari", na majina yote ya kategoria hizi yanapatikana katika orodha hiyo.



Kumbuka kwamba ingawaje kategoria za "pacha" kama vile hizi zinaonekana kandokando katika orodha ya nyanja mbalimbali, lakini zinaingizwa kwenye hifadhidata kwa njia moja. Na kwa hivyo haijalishi ni zipi unazoteua--wewe chagua tu kategoria ya kwanza ambayo inayolingana na istilahi yako.



Kidokezo: katika vivinjari vingi pindi unapofika katika orodha ya kuteua, unaweza kugonga tu erufi ya kategoria unayofikiria ("ma" kwa "magari") mpaka unapopata kategoria unayotaka.

1.11 - Ni nini hufanyika kama swali la "saidia" halitathminiwi?

Kama swala la "saidia" limepokea majibu lakini halijafungwa ndani ya siku tatu, barua pepe hutumwa kwa huyu mwulizaji ikimuuliza kuweza kutathmini. Kama swali linabakia wazi baada ya makumbusho kama hayo manne kutumwa (zaidi ya wiki 2), jaribio la linafanywa kuteua jibu bora zaidi hapo kwa hapo. "roboti tathminioto" hufanya uteuzi wake kulingana na idadi kamili ya marika "wanaokubali" zilizopokelewa kutoka katika kila jibu, kulingana na sheria zifuatazo:
- Kuchukuliwa kuwa jibu lazima liwe na angaa "makubaliano mawili kamili' (wanakubali-hawakubali).
- Jibu lililo na idadi kubwa zaidi ya wanaokubali kamili linateuliwa. Kama majibu mawili yana idadi sawa ya makubali kamili, yale ya mwisho yaliyoiingizwa yanateuliwa. Wazo ni kwamba kama yale majibu mawili yataweza kupata idadi sawa ya makubali kamili lile jibu ambalo lilikubaliwa kwenye kipindi kifupi zaidi cha muda litakuwa bora zaidi. Huku ni kusema kwamba, wale wote waliokubali jibu la pili wameona la kwanza na bado wakapigia kura la pili, kwa hivyo wakapendelea jibu la pili, huku wale waliopigia kura jibu la kwanza huenda hawakuliona jibu la pili wakati walipokuwa wakipiga kura.


Kama hakutakuwa na jibu lililo na makubali kamili 2 basi linabaki wazi.

1.12 - Are askers able to close a question without awarding points?

Yes. An asker may choose to do this when s/he has asked a question in error (misspelled term, etc.), when no answer was deemed helpful, when a better term was found elsewhere (and no answer was deemed helpful), or in other cases.

1.13 - How often do askers close questions without awarding points?

Less than 5% of the time.

1.14 - Ninaweza kupata orodha ya maswali na majibu yangu ya awali?

1.18 - Je kitufe cha "Pigia kura WATAALAMU" au "Pigia kura wasio-WATAALAMU" ufanya nini?

Katika swali ka KudoZ la “msaada” lililowekwa alama ya WATAALAMU, washirika huenda wakapiga kura ili kupata swali kuwekwa alama ya liso-WATAALAMU, na hivyo vingine.



Maswali yaso-WATAALAMU ni yale ambayo yanaweza kujibiwa na mtu yeyote anayezungumza lugha mbili bila ya msaada wa kamusi huku maswali ya WATAALAMU ni yale ambayo yanafaa watafsiri wa kitaalamu.

Maswali ya KudoZ ya “ujengaji-wa- faharasa” siku zote ni ya WATAALAMU na hayawezi kupigiwa kura na waso-WATAALAMU.



Kura tatu kwa ama WATAALAMU au waso-WATAALAMU zinahitajika ili kuainisha upya swali kwa mara ya kwanza, na baadaye itageuza hali yake pindi kunapokuwa na kura zaidi za kufanya mabadiliko hayo dhidi yake.



Kwa mfano, swali lililoulizwa na aso-MTAALAMU litahitajika kura tatu ili kuligeuza hadi WATAALAMU (hivyo kupiga kura 3-0). Wakati huu kitufe kitabadilika hadi “Piga kura waso-WATAALAMU” na kura nne zitaligeuza hadi waso-WATAALAMU (kura zikiwa 4-3). Baada ya hapo itachukuwa kura mbili kulibadilisha swali hilo tena katika namna yoyote ile (kura zikiwa 5-4, 6-5, n.k.).



Kama unazo alama za KudoZ WATAALAMU chini ya ishirini (20), hutaona chaguo hili.

1.19 - 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.

1.20 - Nafikiri jumla ya alama zangu zilifaa kupanda juu leo.

Kama wewe ni mwanachama, inawezekana kulazimisha mfumo kusasisha alama zako hapo kwa hapo. Nenda katika ukurasa wako wa muhtasari wa alama za KudoZ na ubofye "sasisha jumla ya alama sasa. "

Kama wewe ni mtumiaji aliyesajiliwa kosa lolote katika jumla ya alama yako linaweza kusahihisha ndani ya saa 24.

Ili kukagua kwamba umetuzwa alama za swali mahususi au la, kagua historia ya kujibu maswali KudoZ katika umbo lako.

1.21 - Mojawapo ya jumla za alama zangu za KudoZ imepungua. Hii inawezakanaje?

Inawezekana jumla za alama kuteuliwa (jumlisho,WATAALAMU, Kwa uwanja au kwa kipindi) kuenda chini. Masihala yanaweza kusababisha haya ni:

-Swali ambalo uliwezwa kutozwa alama lilifinyizwa au kutotathminiwa
-Swali la WATAALAMU ambalo ulitozwa alama liliainishwa upya kuwa liso-WATAALAMU (hivyo basi likapunguza jumla ya alama zako za WATAALAMU na kuongeza jumla yako ya ziso-WATAALAMU)
-Swali ambalo ulituzwa alama limeainishwa upya katika uwanja mwengine wa kitaalamu (huku likiongeza jumla yako katika uwanja mmoja na kupunguza katika uwanja mwingine)
-Muda huyoyoma (na hivyo basi kusababisha jumla yako ya alama kwenye kipindi cha miezi mitatu iliyopita kupungua)

Kama unashangazwa hususan kuhusu majibu 8 ambayo ulipata alama hiyo jana, unaweza kukagua historia yako inayo kihistoria yako ya umbo ambayo inajibu. Kila moja inafaa kuonyeshwa alama ulizotozwa.

1.22 - Ninawezaje kubadilisha kile kinachoonekana kwenye muhtasari wa alama zangu za KudoZ kwenye ukurasa wa umbo langu?

Watumiaji wanaweza kuchagua kuficha aina fulani za alama za KudoZ kutoka katika muhtasari wao kutoka kwenye ukurasa huu: http://www.proz.com/pro/?show_mode=kudoz&sub_mode=summary

1.23 - 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 glossary entry has been entered.

1.24 - Ilibidi niunde umbo jipya. Ninaweza kufungamanisha alama zangu kutoka kwenye umbo langu la awali?

Ndiyo, kama wewe ni mwanachama wafanyakazi wamsaadawanaweza kukufanyia hivyo. Lakini si alama zako tu, lakini historia yako yote ya KudoZ, (maswali, maoni ya rika, nakala, n.k.) yote yatafungamanishwa. Hautaweza tena kufikia umbo lako la kitambo.



Ili kupata maumbo yako kufungamanishwa wasilisha ombi la kusaidiwa ukiwaomba wafanyakazi kufungamanisha historia yako ya KudoZ, *kutoka* umbo mahususi *hadi* umbo mahususi. Tambua maumbo kwa idadi yake ikiwezekana (jina la mtumiaji litatumika kama huelewi nambari.)

Katika ombi lako la kusaidiwa, andika kwamba unaelewa kuwa hatua hiyo haiwezi kurudishwa nyuma na kwamba hautaweza tena kufikia umbo ambalo historia ilihamishwa kutoka.

Iil kurudia chaguo hili linapatikana kwa wanachama pekee.

1.25 - Ninaweza vipi kuzuia tafutizo ya istilahi la ProZ.com dhidi ya kutafsiri vibambo vya kipekee na tofauti?

Katika baadhi ya matukio ProZ.com tafutizo la istilahi la hutoa uwezo finyu wa kutafsiri vibambo vya kipekee na tofauti (kwa mfano, tafutizo la istilahi "publica" huenda likarudisha matokeo yalio na "publica" vilevile). Ili kulemaza kipengee hiki teua chagua la "linganisha kauli sawa"

Pia, wakati unauliza, inawezekana kubainisha mapendeleo kuwa wale wanaojibu wawe wanachama.

1.28 - 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.

1.29 - 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.

1.30 - Can the asker enter in the glossary a term different from the one suggested in the selected question?

Yes. Points are (or should be) given to the most helpful answer, while the best possible term should be entered in the glossary, even if it was not suggested by the answerer who won the points.

Imagine for instance that you ask for a difficult technical term and get several similar alternatives, but one of the answers provided a very clear explanation that helped you understand the meaning of the term and its usage. Then you could pick another of the alternatives, and still consider this the most helpful answer.

It is also possible for askers to find the best term on their own and enter a term that was suggested in none of the answers provided, but still select a most helpful answer.

1.31 - A user in my sub-community regularly posts bad answers and they are sometimes selected and I am concerned that the glossary will deteriorate. Many valuable colleagues are of the same opinion and several of them have abandoned KudoZ. What can be done?

The system includes the "disagree" feature. If answers considered invalid receive several disagrees based on linguistic (not personal) comments, then the amount of "bad" answers is likely to be reduced.

1.32 - I was the first to provide the right answer to a KudoZ question and then other user provided the same answer adding few more explanations and received the points (instead of agreeing to my answer). Is this allowed?

Askers have the right to select the answers they consider most helpful to their questions.
There is nothing wrong in taking the time to provide the best possible answer, including references and explanations, even if a term has been already suggested. Limiting this right would turn KudoZ into a race to post a term with little or no explanations, and it would discourage better researched and more complete answers.

1.33 - How does the first validated answer mode work?

Askers have the option of asking questions in "first validated answer" (FVA) mode. When the FVA option is selected, instead of multiple answers being submitted and the asker selecting the one that is most helpful, the goal is for one correct translation to be agreed upon by the answerer community. An FVA question is therefore considered closed as soon as one answer gets two net agrees (in top pairs, two net agrees must come from users who meet the criteria for the question).

The effect for askers is that they can ask a question, and some time later be sent an answer that has been validated. It is considered that this option to "leave the decision to the pros" may appeal to some askers, particularly those who do not speak the target language. Various other possibilities may also be presented by this new approach.

Note that FVA questions are always not-for-points, and that they are targeted at those who work in the language pair, have expressed at least an interest in the selected field, and are native in the target language when the question is in a top pair. (However, others are not prevented from answering.)

1.34 - What are AI-generated KudoZ answers?

AI-generated KudoZ answers are automatic answers generated by AI technology, in this case, by ChatGPT. This answers are marked as such within the answer itself.

1.35 - How are AI KudoZ answers generated?

Most AI technology brings information back by means of prompts. Think of prompts like instructions you give to the AI. When you ask a question or tell it something, that's your prompt. In order to generate a KudoZ answer, we send ChatGPT three different prompts: one to get a proposed translation of the source term taking into account the information supplied by the asker (languages, fields, contect), one to obtain an explanation of the proposed translation that also includes sample sentences, and a last one to get confidence level information (i.e. to know how confident the AI feels about its proposed translation). Once this information is returned by the AI, a KudoZ answer is automatically built with it and posted together with the question (provided the asker has selected the AI-generated answer option).

1.36 - Who posts AI-generated answers?

AI answers are generated and posted automatically when an askers select this option in the KudoZ question form:

1.37 - Are askers notified of AI-generated answers to their questions?

No. For the time being, no email notification is sent for AI-generated answers.

1.38 - Can KudoZ participants peer grade AI-generated answers?

Yes, KudoZ participants are encouraged to agree or disagree (or remain neutral) with AI-generated KudoZ answers. Peer grades will count in the case of automatic grading. Click here for details about automatic grading.

1.39 - Can KudoZ askers select AI-generated answers as the most helpful and award points to the AI?

Yes, KudoZ askers can select an AI-generated answer as the most helpful one and award KudoZ points to the AI. These KudoZ points, however, will not be used to rank the AI profile in the directory. Click here to learn how KudoZ points count for directory ranking.

1.40 - Do KudoZ points “earned” by the AI count for directory ranking?

No. KudoZ points awarded to the AI for KudoZ answers selected as the most helpful will not count for directory placement.

1.41 - What is the purpose of adding AI to KudoZ?

The integration of AI into term help is thought as a supporting feature. If AI technology is available out there and language professionals are using it (in many different ways), why not include it in KudoZ and enable them to realize their full potential? ProZ.com provides tools and opportunities to its members. This is just another one of many. Click here to see a full list of membership benefits.

2.2 - Asking

2.1 - Ni nini hujumuisha “msaada wa istilahi” kama ilivyofasiliwa katika sheria http://www.proz.com/siterules/kudoz_general/1.1#1.1 ?

Maswali ya KudoZ yanaweza kutumiwa kuuliza msaada katika istilahi au semi mbalimbali.

Kundi la maneno (hadi takribani 10) linafaa kuwekwa katika swali moja tu wakati yanajumuisha kitengo kisichovunjwa, kama vile semi (k.m. ‘mfanyaji wa kila kitu lakini asiyetaalamika kwa chochote’) ambayo huenda ikawa na maneno kadhaa zaidi na pale ambapo kutoyajumuisha kunaweza kufanya swali hilo kutokamilika.

Waulizaji wanaweza pia kuomba msaada katika kuelewa maana ya sentensi, mpangilio wa neno swala la sarufi au tofauti kati ya istilahi mbili lakini haya yanafaa kufanywa katika lugha husika ya hiyo lugha moja. Maswali ya lugha moja ya KudoZ yanaweza kuulizwa kwa kuteua lugha moja katika upande wa asilia na lengwa.

2.2 - What is the meaning of "one term is allowed per question" in KudoZ rule 2.1?

Unless they share a root or are otherwise related, terms should be posted separately--an asker should not ask how to say "apple" and "banana" in the same question. This means that a question such as "flotsam/jetsam/derelict" in a context of maritime law would be not valid, since the terms are independent and should posted in three separate questions. On the other hand, "the flotsam and jetsam of the inner city" would be OK, as the terms flotsam and jetsam are related in a unit of meaning. Other examples of valid KudoZ questions are: "screen / screening" (they share a root), "Many levels in this game were heavily tuned for smoothness" (terms related as a unit of meaning in a particular context).

2.3 - Kuna kiwango cha idadi ya maswali ninayoweza kuuliza?

Ndiyo. kiwango chako cha kila siku (kilichopimwa kwenye kipindi kinachoendelea cha saa 24) kinategemea na kiwango chako cha uanachama. Kama hujasajiliwa na ProZ.com, unaweza kuuliza swali (1) kila siku. Kama umesajiliwa lakini wewe si mwanachama, unaweza kuuliza maswali (5). Kama wewe ni mwanachama unaweza kuuliza maswali kumi na tano (15). Kuna pia viwango vya kila wiki vya maswali 20 kwa wasiokuwa wanachama lakini waliosajiliwa na maswali 60 kwa wanachama. Kama unayo maswali (10) ambayo yamepokea majibu 10 hakika na yamekuwa wazi kwa zaidi ya wiki moja, hutaruhusiwa kuuliza maswali zaidi. Tafadhali yatathmini na uweze kuyafunga maswali haya ili uweze kuendelea kuuliza maswali haya.

2.4 - 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 the one depicted below, and clicking on the words question queue to see an estimate of when your questions will be made public.



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

2.5 - Ninajipata nikihifadhi maswali yangu ya istilahi mpaka mwisho wa mradi.Kuna njia ninaweza kuzidi kile kiwango?

Tunaamini kwamba kiwango cha maneno (15) kila siku kinafaa kutosheleza watu wengi. Kwa wewe kutandaza maswali yako kwenye kipindi cha siku mbili za mwisho za mradi, kwa mfano, unaweza kuuliza maswali thelathini (30). Kama unahitaji zaidi na wewe ni mwanachama, unaweza kumwuliza mfanyakazi wa Msaada kukupatia nafasi ya muda ya kufanya hivyo.

2.6 - 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.

2.7 - Ninaweza kuuliza swali la KudoZ la lugha moja?

Ndiyo. Lakini hakuna sehemu moja mahususi katika eneo la KudoZ. Kile unachohitajika kufanya, kama utataka kuuliza swali katika lugha moja tu (p.e:Kiingereza hadi Kiingereza) ni kuenda katika kichupo cha Uliza katika KudoZ. Kisha, kwenye fomu, bofya katika “tazama lugha zaidi”.utaweza kuona orodha mbili pale ambapo unaweza kuteua lugha unayotaka mara mbili. Hivyo , basi litakuwa swali la lugha moja.

2.8 - Sina hakika kama swali linafaa kuainishwa kama waso-WATAALAMU au WATAALAMU.Tofauti ni nini?

Huku kukiwa hakuna njia yoyote ya kutafautisha, ufasili ufuatao umechukuliwa kwa aina hizi mbili za maswali:

2.9 - What should I do if I don't have context to include in my KudoZ question?

There is always some context to provide, such as information about the type of customer (an oil company? a plumber? a dentist? ), the type of document you are translating, the subject, etc.

Even in the extreme case of posting an item in a list there is hope. Imagine a question posted as:


Question: quolly
Fields: Law/Patents - Other
Context: It's in a list - (sorry but) no context available.


Now with a deeper understanding of what context is and what purpose it serves, some questions may elicit useful information and, quite possibly, lead to a valid answer.

For example:

- What does the patent describe? And if it's a revolutionary ion engine for spacecraft, change the fields to Tech/Enginnering - Space/Aeronautics - Ion engine design.

- What is the purpose of the list? There's a big difference of context between a list of engine parts and a list of tools used to assemble an engine.

- What are the adjacent items in the list? Very often lists contain related terms, and to an expert the meaning of the obscure term may well be clear when seen along with the other items.

- What is the country of origin of the text, and/or of its author? Words are often misused by non-native speakers.

- Does the overall quality of the source text suggest the problem term is 'just another typo or scanno' in a text riddled with rubbish or is it, on the contrary, a real term that's probably being used correctly.

Armed with that meaningful context we have a new question, such as:


Question: quolly
Fields: Tech/Enginnering - Space/Aeronautics - Ion engine design
Context: It's in a list of tools used in the assembly of spacecraft engines, mentioned in the patent for a revolutionary ion engine.
The rest of the text seems to be well-written by a native English-speaker (from a well-known manufacturing company in the UK), so I don't think it's an error in the source text.


Of course, this doesn't guarantee there will be a valid answer, but at least that will not be for "no context".

2.10 - Ninaweza kuongeza taarifa zaidi katika swali langu? Ninaweza kulihariri?

Huwezi kuhariri swali, lakini unaweza kuongeza hoja. Fomu hutokea kwenye ukurasa wa swali. (kama utashindwa kufuatilia swali, kagua dhibitisho la barua pepe la kiungo hicho.)

2.11 - Can KudoZ askers direct their questions to specific site users?

Yes. When posting a KudoZ question, askers are given the option to restrict their KudoZ questions by 1) profile information (native language, language pair and field) and 2) membership status. If the asker selects the option "Only ProZ.com members may answer" when posting his/her question, the "Answer" button will not be visible to non-members and the following message will show to them:

The asker has directed this question specifically to ProZ.com users who:
... are ProZ.com members (You do not appear to be) Join ProZ.com >

If the asker specifies a restriction connected with native language, level of expertise in the specified language pair or level of expertise in the field, those that do not meet these criteria will be informed of this, but still invited to post an answer:

The asker has directed this question specifically to ProZ.com users who:
... have expressed interest in this pair (You have)
... report a "specialty" level of expertise in the subject field (You have not) [Edit]
... are native speakers of Tonga (Nya) or Nzima (You have not reported that you are) [Edit]
Although you do not meet the criteria, you may suggest a translation if you like

2.12 - Nitatuma maswali yangu kwa watu fulani ninaowajua?

Unaweza kufanya hivyo kama wewe ni mwanachama (anayelipa) wa ProZ.com.

2.13 - Kwanini ninaweza kuweka kiwango cha maswali kwa watu fulani?

Wengi wanaojibu katika KudoZ wamekuja kujua ni wanachama wepi ProZ.com wanaotilia maanani katika nyanja zipi. Kwa istilahi fulani, wanachagua kushauriana na WATAALAMU hao moja kwa moja. Kufanya hivyo kupitia KudoZ kutafanya mchakato huu kuwa wastani zaidi na rahisi zaidi, na kutahakikisha kwamba rekodi inayoweza kutafutizwa inaweka na ambayo ni ya zile tafsiri zilizotolewa.

2.14 - Ninaweza kuweka kiwango cha ufikivu wa swali kwa madaraja fulani ya wanachama kwa nini?

Mara nyingine wanaouliza hutamani mwitikio kutoka katika makundi mahususi, kwa mfano, wazungumzaji asilia, wale wanaofanya kazi katika uwanja fulani, au wengine huchagua madaraja ya wanachama wa ProZ.com. Kimsingi msaada hutolewa ili kuimarisha mapendeleo haya.

2.15 - Kama nitauliza swali la siri, yaani nikilizuilia tu katika mojawapo ya makundi yangu, je litaonekana kwa wengine? Je litaweza kutafutizwa kwenye maakaba?

Kama wewe ni mwanachama unaweza kuchagua kuweka istilahi hiyo siri kwa muda usiojulikana. Kama wewe ni mtumiaji aliyesajiliwa unaweza kuchagua kuweka istilahi hiyo siri kwa mwezi mmoja, baada ya muda huo itakuwa kwenye umma na itaweza kutafutizika.



Tanbihi muhimu: usalama unaofanana na mabenki hautumiki katika KudoZ, hata kwa maswali ya siri. Istilahi nyeti hazifai kuwekwa kupitia KudoZ, hata wakati unatumia machaguo ya siri.

2.16 - I see a "squash" button under a KudoZ question I have posted, what does that mean?

If you have posted a KudoZ term help question and it has not received an answer, you will have the option to "squash" or remove the question until it receives at least one answer. This allows users to remove mistakenly-posted questions without the assistance of a moderator or KudoZ editor.

2.17 - Ninaweza kuwashukuru wanaojibu katika KudoZ bila ya kutokubali au kutathmini vipi?

Unaweza kubofya katika jina la mtu na kuaandikia kupitia kwenye ukurasa wa umbo. Hii husababisha barua pepe kutumwa

Utataka kulejelea swali la KudoZ kwa kupitia URL.

2.18 - Ninawezaje kutathmini swali langu la KudoZ?

Ili kutathmini swali lako la KudoZ, lazima ubofye kwenye kiungo kinachosoma " Teua jibu hili kuwa la msaada zaidi", ndani ya kijisanduku cha jibu ambacho kina mwitikio ambao ulikuwa wenye msaada zaidi. Pindi unapobofya katika " Teua jibu hili kuwa lenye msaada zaidi" kiungo, dirisha litajitokeza ambalo litakuruhusu kutoza alama zako za KudoZ na kuingiza istilahi ya KudoZ katika faharasa yako, Faharasa Wazi ya KudoZ (KOG), au zote.

2.19 - I did not enter the term to the KOG at the time I graded my question, but I would like to enter it now. How can I do that?

Simply click on the "gloss" button below the "Summary of answers provided" chart.

2.20 - 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:

2.21 - Nilipoteza kiungo changu cha thibitisho la baruapepe ya KudoZ, ninawezaje kutathmini swali langu la KudoZ sasa?

Kama ulipoteza kiungo chako cha thibitisho la baruapepe ya KudoZ, huenda ukafufua nakala nyingine kwa ama kwa kupata msaada kupitia kwenye mfumo wa tikiti mtandaoni na/au unaweza kuwasiliana na mdhibiti ili akutumie tena kiungo hicho katika anwani yako ya baruapepe. Kumbuka, ni muhimu kwamba utume URL ya KudoZ ya swali lako wakati unaomba thibitisho jingine la baruapepe.



Kama hukumbuki URL ya KudoZ, na hukuwa umeingia kwenye akaunti wakati unawasilisha swali hilo, itabidi upate msaada mtandaoni ili swali hilo litathminiwe kwa niaba yako.

2.22 - Ninaweza kutoza alama katika jibu zaidi ya moja?

La, unaweza tu kuteua jibu moja ambalo lilikuwa la “msaada zaidi”. Kugawanya alama miongoni mwa waliojibu kumewahi kuruhusiwa hapo awali, lakini kukatupiliwa mbali kwa mujibu wa manufaa madogo kwa kiasi fulani ambayo yangepatikana, na ugumu wa kutekeleza utawala na usimamizi wa alama hizo na matatizo kama hayo ya kugawanya alama nne miongoni mwa majibu matatu. Mwongozo wenye manufaa kwa hali kama hizi ambapo huwezi kuamua ni jibu lipi la kuchagua kati ya yale uliyopewa upo. Katika hali ya majibu mawili au zaidi yaliyokusaidia kwa kiwango sawa, huwenda ukachagua la kwanza (mambo huwa sawa kwa wale waliojibu kwa kadri muda unavyosonga.)

2.23 - Nilifunga swali bila ya kuteua jibu bora zaidi. Ninaweza kulifungua upya swali hilo sasa?

Ndiyo, unafaa kubofya kwenye kitufe cha FUNGUA. Kama utashuku chochote wasilisha tikiti ya kusaidiwa.

2.24 - Ninawezaje kufunga swali la KudoZ ambalo nimeuliza na bado halijajibiwa.

Kwenye ukurasa wako wa swali, bofya kitufe cha "Tathmini". huku kutakupeleka kwenye ukurasa unaofuata ambao unafaa kubofya kitufe cha "Funga bila ya kutathmini". (tajwa: Mikhail Kropotov)

2.25 - Ninawezaje kusitisha kupokea makumbusho ya baruapepe ya kutathmini maswali yangu?

Waulizaji hutumiwa makumbusho ya baruapepe ya kutathmini maswali wazi ya KudoZ yaliyo na majibu sahihi baada ya siku 5,7,9 na 11 kupita tangu swali hilo lilipoulizwa.

Ili kusita kupokea makumbusho haya ya baruapepe, muulizaji anafaa kufanya yafuatayo:

- Teua jibu lililosaidia zaidi;
- Funga swali bila ya kuteua jibu
(bofya “Funga”, “Funga w/o Utathmini” vitufe);
- Kataa majibu yote ya sasa lakini acha swali wazi ili kupokea majibu ya siku za usoni. Kufanya hivyo, bofya “[Hakuna majibu yanayofaa kati ya haya; usinikumbushe kuteua moja]” juu kwenye orodha ya majibu.

2.26 - Ni nini mpangilio wa idadi ya alama (1-4) ninaofaa kufuata katika kutoza jibu ninalo teua?

Wakati unaamua ni alama ngapi za kutoza, tafadhali tilia maanani kipimo hiki ili kikuongoze:

4: Jibu lilikubalika, maelezo mazuri, marejeleo yalitolewa (au hayakuhitajika)
3: Jibu lilikubalika, maelezo mazuri, lakini hakuna marejeleo yaliyotolewa
2: Jibu lilikubalika
1: Jibu lilisaidia kwa kiasi fulani

2.27 - 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.

2.28 - I have included confidential information in a question. Can I have it removed?

If you posted a KudoZ question that contains confidential information, please submit a support request, specifying the exact information you would like to have remove so that staff can remove this information for you.

2.3 - Answering

3.1 - Siwezi kuona swali la KudoZ ninaweza kufanya nini?

Tafadhali tuma URL, na pichaskirini ya ukurasa, kwa msaada kule proz.com!

3.2 - Wakati ninatafutiza maswali kutoka kwa wanachama pekee, ninagundua jambo lisilo la kawaida.

Kutilia maanani chaguo la wanachama-pekee (linalopatikana katika "aina ya muulizaji" kwenye ukurasa wa orodha ya KudoZ ) kutaweza kuzuia maswali unayoona kwa wale waliouliza ambao walikuwa wanachama* wakati huo huo walipouliza*. Kwa sababu kategoria ya uanachama wa waulizaji imerekodiwa tu hivi majuzi, idadi ya matokeo itakuwa ndogo. Pia, hoja kwamba kuna aina mbalimbali za uanachama (kamilifu, kiasi), na hoja kwamba baadhi ya uanachama utakamilika, huenda kukaunda hali kwamba kuna jambo ambalo lisilo la kawaida.

3.3 - Kama swali limefungwa na alama zilitozwa ninaweza bado kulijibu?

Pindi alama zinapotozwa, swali linafungwa, lakini hata kama limefungwa unaweza kulijibu.
Mantiki katika hali hii ni kwamba tutakuruhusu kutoa msaada wote unaoweza kwa yule aliyeuliza, hatakama yeye tayari aliamua kuwa amepata jibu bora zaidi la swali lake.

3.4 - Ninaweza kuhariri jibu ambalo nimewasilisha katika swali la KudoZ?

La. Kuhariri jibu kutakuwa kukupendelea dhidi ya wengine waliojibu. Huenda ukatilia maanani kuongeza maaoni katika jibu lako. Katika hali nyingine, jibu lisilokuwa sahihi linawezwa kufichwa na yule aliyelijibu na jibu sahihi kuwekwa badala yake.

3.5 - Neno "Ficha" huonekana katika vijisanduku vyangu vya majibu kwanini?

Unaruhusiwa kuficha majibu yako mwenyewe. Hii ni njia yakuvutia majibu zaidi.

3.6 - Ninawezaje kufichua jibu ambalo limeficha?

Majibu yanayofichwa huenda yasifichuliwe tena. Unafaa tu kutumia kiungo cha "Ficha jibu" kama unataka kuficha jibu lako kabisa.

3.7 - Kama nitaficha jibu langu na kuwasilisha jingine jipya, je hii ni kinyume cha sheria za tovuti kwa kulijibu?

Kwa mujibu wa kuwasilisha zaidi ya jibu moja, hali hii inakubalika kama itafanywa mara moja moja. Hatua kwa hatua ukitoa tafsiri mbalimbali, ama kwa kuficha majibu ya awali au kwa kutoficha, hivi ni kinyume cha sheria za tovuti kwa kujibu KudoZ. Tazama sheria za kujibu KudoZ.

3.8 - Will my hidden answers be visible in my list of answers?

You will always be able to see the answers you have hidden in your list of KudoZ answers. Other users will only see your hidden answers if you have hidden 10% or more of your total answers (but no less than 20 answers).

Hidden answers will figure under the Answered tab in the KudoZ activity section of profiles, with the link to the question, but with "Answer hidden by answerer" instead of the source and target term.

They will also be added to the total count of Questions answered (shown on the main page of profiles) and in the statistics found in the KudoZ activity section.

3.9 - What is the meaning of "no more than one answer per question" in KudoZ rule 3.1?

Submitting an answer to a KudoZ question and then submitting one or more additional answers to the same question is discouraged (even if the original answer was hidden) and doing this in a systematic way is forbidden by the rules. Answerers can add as many comments as they want to their answers. Offering several terms together in the same answer (ANSWER1/ANSWER2/ANSWER3) is not forbidden, but discouraged, as it interferes with the glossary format.

3.10 - Je inamaanisha nini kama swali limewekwa alama “Si la alama”?

Baadhi ya watumiaji wanaamini kwamba kutozwa kwa alama za KudoZ humpunguzia mtu kupata ile hali ya KudoZ. Inawezekana kwa watumiaji kama hao kuchagua swali “Si la alama” wakati wanauliza. Alama za KudoZ haziwezi kutuzwa mtu kwa kujibu maswali kama hayo.

3.11 - Kama nitalijibu swali la“si la alama” je jibu hilo litaonekana katika historia ya KudoZ katika ukurasa wangu wa umbo?

Ndiyo. Maswali kama hayo yatawekwa alama kwa rangi ambayo inaonyesha kuwa alama hizo hazikuwepo.

3.12 - Je kule kujibu maswali ya “si kwa alama” kunaboresha nafasi yangu katika ubaokiongozi wa KudoZ au kwenye orodha ya watafsiri wa ProZ.com?

La. Manufaa ya kujibu maswali ya “ si la alama” si ya kiufundi, ni ya njia nyingine tu (kujifunza, kusaidia, kutangamana,nk.)

3.13 - What does Confidence level show?

Confidence level is the degree of certainty expressed by an answerer regarding his or her own answer. This information is provided by an answerer in the Kudoz Answer form. Confidence level is a required field and an answerer is suggested to select one of the 5 (five) possible confidence levels:

Highest - I am sure
High
Medium
Low
Lowest - I am guessing

3.14 - I don't know the answer to a KudoZ question, but I have some information that could help the asker. Where should I post this information?

If you cannot think of an appropriate answer to a KudoZ question, but you have information that may help the asker or other participants to come up with a good translation, make a reference post by clicking on "Post reference" and include such relevant information.

Note: Reference posts cannot be selected as most helpful and so no points cannot be awarded to reference posters.

3.15 - I do not see the "Post reference" button in a KudoZ question. Why?

Once you posted a Kudoz answer, you will not be able to post a reference. It is assumed that you put all the information in your Kudoz answer. This makes your answer a more useful resource, and ensures all the information is kept in one place.

It is possible to post a reference and then an answer, but not possible to post an answer first and then a reference.

3.16 - Under what conditions can an answerer use the discussion entries feature?

Answerers can use the discussion entry to ask the asker for context information or to engage in linguistic discussions of some points of the question asked. In general, opinions on other answers should be provided in the peer grading interface while additional comments supporting their answers should be presented as comments in the answers themselves. Systematic use of the discussion entry to promote an answer provided will not be allowed.

3.17 - How can I avoid answering questions from askers who tend to close their questions without grading them?

You can see how many questions an asker has closed without grading by mousing over their name in a KudoZ question they have asked. (There is also an option to filter out questions from certain askers in the lists of questions.)

3.18 -

2.4 - Peer commenting

4.1 - Ninaweza kukubaliana na zaidi ya jibu moja katika swali?

Ndiyo. Unahimizwa kukubali majibu mengi uwezayo na ambayo unaona ni sahihi, na kutokubaliana na majibu mengi uwezayo ambayo unaona si sahihi.

4.2 - Nini hufanyika baada ya mtu kutokubaliana na jibu?

Kutokubaliana ni ishara tu kwa hakika kwa mtu ambaye aliomba “msaada” huo wa swali hilo la KudoZ kwamba wewe (na pengine wengine) huhisi kwamba jibu hilo ni sahihi na muulizaji ana uhuru wa kuchukua au kutochukuwa pendekezo hilo.



Athari tu ya “kiufundi” ni kwamba kama swali litatathminiwa –otomatiki, wale ambao hawakukubaliana nalo jibu huzidi wale wengine.



Kutathmini kutoka kwa marika waliofuzu ndio njia ya kawaida ya kutathmini na kufunga “ujengaji -wa- faharasa” maswali ya KudoZ.

4.3 - Niliingiza maoni ya rika na nataka kuitikia jibu nililopata. Je ninaweza?

La. Ili kuzuia zile nyuzi za KudoZ katika kukosa mwelekeo, mawasiliano mengi kuhusu nyuzi hizo hayaruhusiwi katika kila swali. Rika huenda akatoa mchango naye aliyejibu akamwitikia -- lakini mawasiliano yanaishia hapo. (Uwezo wa kuhariri mchango wa rika na majibu kwake, unatolewa tu kwa kusudio la kuhariri makosa ya maendelezo, kurekebisha viungo vilivyovunjika, au kufanya mabadiliko sawa na hayo.) Hakikisha unaweka hoja yako wazi na vizuri na kwa muhtasari: unapata nafasi moja tu.

4.4 - Ninaona kiungo cha “hariri/futa” mchango wangu wa rika. Hicho ni cha nini?

Kiungo cha “hariri/futa” kinakupa uwezo wa kuhariri mchango wako wa rika. Tafadhali kumbuka kwamba uwezo huu umetolewa tu kwa kusudio la kuhariri tahajia, kusahihisha viungo vilivyovunjika, au kutekeleza mabadiliko kama hayo.

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.

2.5 - KudoZ editors

5.1 - Ninaona baadhi ya watumiaji (si wadhibiti) wakiainisha upya,au wakiondoa maswali mengine. Wanachama hao wanateuliwa vipi?

Wadhibiti huenda wakaalika wanachama/watumiaji waliosajiliwa ambao wanazo alama angaa 300 za KudoZ WATAALAMU ili kusoma miongozo ya kuainisha upya na kutilia maanani na kuchukua mtihani mdogo. Wale wanaoufuzu wanayo haki ya kuhariri katika namna hizi.



Kumbuka: wanachama ambao wana hatua zinazohusiana na utawala wa KudoZ huenda wasiteulewe kama wahariri wa KudoZ Vilevile wahariri wa KudoZ ambao wanakusanya hatua za kiutawala zinazohusiana na KudoZ huenda wakaondolewa haki zao za kuhariri.

5.2 - Is site moderation one of the responsibilities of KudoZ editors?

No. KudoZ editors are site users who have been given the right to perform some editing functions on KudoZ questions, namely the change or reversion of KudoZ question language pairs, the removal of questions if these are not in line with site rules or if they are duplicated, and the change of KudoZ question fields.

Moderators are site members who have volunteered to foster and protect the positive, results-oriented atmosphere that makes ProZ.com possible by greeting and guiding new participants in KudoZ and enforcing site rules in a consistent and structured manner.

In no way are KudoZ editors entitled or expected to act as site moderators. KudoZ editors, just as site members, are required to contact staff or moderators to report any form of abuse.

5.3 - Chaguo liliitokea likiniruhusu kuhariri maswali ya watu wengine. Kwa nini?

Watumiaji wengine wa tuvuti ambaohufikia idadi fulani ya alama za KudoZ (500) hupokea mwaliko wa kuwa wahariri wa KudoZ. Wakati wanakubali na kutimiza mahitaji yote, machaguo fulani yataonekana ya kuweka masahihisho katika maswali ya "saidia" yaliowekwa na wengine.Kama swali litakuwa la Kihisipania hadi Kiingereza lakini limeorodheshwa kama Kiingereza hadi Kihisipania, endelea mbele na ufanye masahihisho.

5.4 - I would like to apply to become a KudoZ editor. Can I?

No, it is not possible to submit an application to become a KudoZ editor, an invitation has to be issued by a moderator or site staff.

5.5 - Can KudoZ editors reclassify a question form PRO into non-PRO and vice versa?

No, KudoZ editors and moderators will have to vote like any other member for the change of status of questions (instead of forcing this change of status.)

5.6 - Does membership determine someone's eligibility to become a KudoZ editor?

No, eligibility is not determined by membership status.

2.6 - KudoZ notifications

6.1 - Sipati mafahamisho yoyote ya barua pepe kwenye KudoZ

Kama hupati mafahamisho yoyote ya barua pepe kabisa katika KudoZ na hujawahi kuyapata, kagua vipimo katika ukurasa wako wa umbo.Hutapata mafahamisho yote kama:

- hujaingiza kundi lolote la lugha

- hujaingiza nyanja zozote za utaalam

- hujateua mafahamisho ya baruapepe ya KudoZ katika yako. Mapendeleo ya baruapepe .



Kama ulikuwa ukipokea mafahamisho na bila kitu chochote kubadilika yakasita, huenda kukawa na sababu mbalimbali:

- ujumbe wa awali kwako ulirudi, na anwani yako ya baruapepe "ikabandikwa" mbaya (kagua the ) data ya binafsi katika ukurasa wako wa umbo; vibambo 'xxx ' vitakuwa vimeongezwa kabla ya anwani yako

-kuna shida na mafahamisho ya barua pepe ya ProZ.com (kagua site hali ukurasa wa taarifa)

- wewe au ISP yako imebadilishwa au imeongezwa uchujaji, na kwamba uchujaji unazuia tahadhari dhidi ya kukufikia (kuna shida inayojulikana na terra.es, kwa mfano.)



Kama baada ya kukagua hayo yaliotajwa hapa juu huwezi kupata tatizo liko wapi, ingiza ombi la msaada likiwa na kiungo cha angaa na swali moja la kiungo KudoZ ambalo unafaa kuwa ulitahadharishwa.

6.2 - Sipati mafahamsho yote ya KudoZ ninayofaa kuwa nikipata.

Wakati tahadhari za baruapepe zinapotolewa kuhusu maswali ya KudoZ miongoni mwa mpangilio unaotiliwa maanani ni: lugha husika, eneo la mada, na kiwango cha ugumu. Kama hujapokea fahamisho la baruapepe la swali, hakikisha ya kwamba vipimo vyako vya umbo na mapendeleo viko katika hali unafaa kuwa umepokea. Kama umeshawishika kwamba umefanya hivyo, tafadhali wasilisha kikiwemo(vi) a support request, cha swali moja au zaidi ya URL ambayo ulifaa kufahamishwa. Mfanyakazi wa ProZ.com atakagua kuona kama tahadhari ya baruapepe iliyotumwa kwako iliondoka kwenye seva za ProZ.com. (Kama ilifanya hivyo huenda kukawa na shida, au uchujaji uliofanyika katika ISP au katika tarakilishi yako binafsi.)

6.3 - Ninapata mafahamisho mengi ajabu ya baruapepe katika KudoZ

Ili kupunguza wingi wa mafahamisho ya baruapepe ya KudoZ unayopokea jaribu kuteua sehemu chache zaidi za mada katika KudoZ yako mapendeleo yako . Ili kukomesha kupokea mafahamisho ya baruapepe ya KudoZ kwa pamoja, teua tu chaguo la "La" kwenye Ubaokazi wa KudoZ

6.4 - Wakati mwingine ninapata maswali kupitia kwenye baruapepe ambayo siwezi kuyaona kwenye tovuti, na wakati mwingine ninaona maswali lakini sijatumiwa baruapepe...

Mapendeleo ya barua pepe na kuonyesha yamewekwa tofauti. Mapendeleo ya baruapepe yamewekwa kupitia kwenye ubaodashi- http://www.proz.com/dashboard - na mapendeleo ya kuonyesha yamewekwa kupitia kwenye ukurasa wa orodha ya KudoZ - http://www.proz.com/kudoz

6.5 - Daily digest ni nini?

Ni ujumbe ambao unao muhtasari mfupi wa maswali ambayo yameulizwa kwenye siku, vilevlie ni orodha ya majibu yoyote yaliyotolewa kutokana na maswali hayo mpaka wakati huo.

6.6 - Ninaweza vipi kupokea mafahamisho ya KudoZ kutoka kwenye kundi langu?

Wanachama wowote wa kundi lako wanaweza kuweka swali la KudoZkuwa siri katika kundi lako. Ili kupokea mafahamisho ya hizi za maswali kile unachohitajika tu kufanya ni kuwasha mafahamisho yako na kundi la lugha husika katika orodha yako ya kufanyia kazi au zile ulizo na kivutio kwazo.

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.

6.15 - I want to get Kudoz notifications for opposite language pairs to my working languages.

First, indicate direct pairs as "working" and reverse pairs as "interest" in your Profile Updater . Then, use these parameters to set up notifications settings.

3 - Glossary-building KudoZ

3.1 - 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.

3.2 - 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) "Speciality" stage: 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 a glossary entry will be created and stored. If closing proves impossible, notifications will be sent to all interested and qualified parties and a "working" phase will last until the peer-grading received allows for the closure of the question.

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

Participation in a GBK question, including answering, posting references and grading, is limited during the first 72 hours to site users who (1) Have the corresponding field(s) of expertise among their "speciality" fields. (2) Have the corresponding language pair or the reverse pair among their working ones. (3) Are native in either source or target languages.

During the "working" 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.

3.4 - 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.

3.5 - 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).

3.6 - 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.

3.7 - 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.

3.8 - 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.

3.9 - 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 "working" period, or even after the question has been closed.

3.10 - 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.

3.11 - 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.

3.12 - 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.

3.13 - 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.

3.14 - 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.

3.15 - 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".

3.16 - 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:

3.17 - 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 5 or 10 open questions available to answer (selectable) 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"

5 - GlossPost

5.1 - Ni nini GlossPost?

GlossPost ni hifadhidata tafutika ya viungo faharasani kwenye tovuti. Imekusanywa na wanachama wa ProZ.com na YahooGroup kwa jina moja ambalo liliundwa mnamo Februari 2000 na mtafsiri wa Brasili na mkalimani wa kongamano Maria Eugenia Farre . Hifadhidata inatunzwa na kundi la wasimamizi wanaojitolea, hata hivyo mwanachama yeyote wa ProZ.com anaweza kutafuta hifadhidata au awasilishe faharasa mpya ya URLs.

5.2 - Ni malengo gani yanayoendeleza GlossPost kwenye ProZ.com?

Tuna malengo matatu muhimu:

- Kuunda rasilimali za istilahi mtandaoni zenye uwezo tafutizi mahususi kwa watafsiri.

- Kupanua hifadhidata kwa kufaidi kutoka moyo wa ushirikiano wa watumiaji wa ProZ.com.

- Kuhakikisha ufikivu wa GlossPost na kuzingatia kujitolea kwa kutoa rasilimali muhimu na bure kwa watafsiri duniani kote

5.3 - Ni uwezekano upi uliopo wa ushirikiano baina ya GlossPost na ProZ.com?

Kwa ufupi: kuunda hifadhidata kubwa ya faharasa ya URLs, pamoja na anwani katika muungano zaidi wa lugha, yanayofasiliwa na watafsiri. Tangu kuanzishwa GlossPost imevutia watafsiri hasa waliojikita kwenye lugha za Uropa. Kwa ProZ.com ni jumuia kubwa ya lugha nyingi iliyo na washiriki amilifu kote katika mfumo mzima wa isimu, tunatumaini kuwa watafsiri wa lugha nyingine pia watapata msukumo wa kuongeza viungo kwenye faharasa wanazotumia katika kazi ya kila siku kwa manufaa ya wote.

Aidha tunatumai kuchangia kwa ujuzi tuliopata kwa kudhibiti GlossPost kuwezesha tovuti hii kuwa ya manufaa na rasilimali ya kufaa ya istilahi mtandaoni.

5.4 - Ni viungo vingapi asili vya makavazi ya GlossPost vimejumuishwa?

Kwenye uzinduzi, takribani viungo 1,600 kutoka makavazini vimejumuishwa kiotomatiki. Hii haishirikishi hifadhidata halisi zote za GlossPost, lakini kuna mpango wa kuleta viungo zaidi baadaye, muda utakapokubali.

5.5 - Je viungo katika hifadhidata ya GlossPost kwenye ProZ.com vitaangaliwa kuzuia kurasa zilizokufa na kurudia URLS?

Kwenye maskani yetu mapya ya ProZ.com, tunataka kushughulikia hofu na maswala yote yaliyowaathiri wasajiliwa wote wa GlossPost hapo awali. Link rot ni mojawapo, na si peke yetu wahasiriwa. GlossPost URLs kwenye ProZ.com itaangaliwa kwa awamu kutumia kazi otomatiki ili kuhakikisha hifadhidata inasasishwa tayari iwezekanavyo. Viungo vinaangaliwa na kualamishwa vizuri au vibaya, kuonyeshwa au kutoonyeshwa kwa watumiaji wengine na watumiaji wenyewe na aidha wasimamizi. Maingizo yasokamili yanaweza kuboreshwa kwa taarifa ya ziada kutoka kwa watumiaji wengine.

5.6 - Ni uwezo upi tafutizi uliopo katika GlossPost kwenye ProZ.com?

Uwezo tafutizi umeboreshwa sana. Kwenye hifadhidata mpya, watumiaji watavinjari faharasa URLs, kutafuta kwa kicharazio,muunganisho wa lugha, taaluma au kategoria ya BSO. Kwa sababu ya kawaida, uwezo wa kutafuta ukitumia muunganisho wa lugha ilikuwa maombi yaliyopokelewa sana kutoka kwa wasajiliwa. Kipengele kinachowezesha matangazo otomatiki ya GlossPost URL kwenye muunganisho wa lugha iliyobainishwa na watumiaji wa ProZ.com inasomwa pia.

5.7 - Ninawezaje kuchangia kwenye upanuzi wa hifadhidata ya faharasa?

Kwa href=/?sp=glosspost&show_mode=post> kuweka URLs za faharasa, kamusi na rasilimali za istilahi nyingine upatazo kwenye tovuti.



Aidha unaweza kuchangia kwenye wakfu huu kwa kuhariri na kuthibitisha viungo vilivyojumuishwa katika hifadhidata (chaguo hili huenda liwepo ama lisiwepo, kutegea na kuwa amilifu wa tovuti yako). Aidha, kwa vile mradi ushaanza, itakuwa muhimu sana kupata majibu mengi iwezekanavyo kuhusu muundo na matokeo ambapo watafiti wanapata. Tafadhali tuma majibu yako kwa msaada.

5.8 - Utaratibu wa uwekaji ni upi?

Fomu ya uwekaji inapatikana here.

Nyuga ni:

URL: ingiza URL ya rasilimali (faharasa, hifadhidata ya istilahi au kamusi)
Mada: ingiza mada ya rasilimali, k.m. Faharasa ya Haidrolojia au Uzawa wa Mbwa au Kamusi ya Kituruki
Chanzo: ingiza chanzo cha rasilimali, k.m. Unicode.org or Jumuia ya Uzawa wa Mbwa ya Marekani Academie Francaise
Mchango: ingiza michango muhimu kuhusiana na URL, k.m. “tafsiri tegemeka” “faharasa kurasa-moja”, “pakulika kama pdf”,”makinikia hatua zako, iliyo na mategu”
Chanzo cha Lugha: teua chanzo cha lugha kutoka kwenye orodha. Kama lugha nyingi zimejumuishwa ilivyo kawaida na rasilimali za JU, teua kitufe cha redio Yote/Lugha nyingi.
Lugha Lengwa: teua lugha lengwa kutoka kwenye orodha. Kama lugha nyingi zimejumuishwa ilivyo kawaida na rasilimali za JU, teua kitufe cha redio Yote/Lugha nyingi.
Taaluma: teua taaluma moja au zaidi, uwezavyo pindi unapowasilisha swali la Kudoz.
Kategoria ya BSO: Teua kategoria moja au zaidi ya BSO.

Pindi umemaliza nyuga unazotaka kuongeza, bonyeza kitufe cha kuwasilisha. Si lazima kujaza nyuga zote, kama inawezekana jaribu kujaza nyingi uwezavyo. Hii itawezesha kuunda hifadhidata nyingi nzuri na kukuwezesha kupata majibu bora baadaye. Kumbuka, hata hivyo, kwamba nyuga nyingine ni lazima na zimealamishwa kwa * kwa ubora. Ingizo lako halitatathminiwa kabla hujamaliza nyuga muhimu.

5.9 - Nitaweka kwa lugha gani?

Wasimamizi wa GlossPost wanapendekeza na kuhimiza watumiaji kuweka kwa Kiingereza. Hata hivyo, tunagundua hii haitakuwa rahisi, kwa sababu ya uzingatifu wa mila anuwai.
Michango kwa lugha nyingine inachukuliwa SAWA, lakini kwa manufaa ya wote na utafutizi mwema wa matokeo, jaribu kujumuisha maneno machache ya Kiingereza katika uga wa nenomsingi na/au toa mada kwa Kiingereza kwenye faharasa.

5.10 - Mimi mtumiaji wa ProZ.com, nitafaidi chochote kutokana na uwekaji wa faharasa?

Ndiyo! Wanachama watatuzwa alama 10 browniz kwa kila wasilisho la URL na alama 5 za browniz kwa ingizo lililohaririwa. Jina la mwekaji na mhariri litatambuliwa URLs zitakapoonyeshwa.

5.11 - Ni vipi nitaripoti hitilafu au nitatumaje mapendekezo?

Majibu yanaruhusiwa wakati wote. Tafadhali tuma baruapepe kwa msaada.

5.12 - Ni nini kitatokea katika orodha ya GlossPost kwenye Yahoogroups?

Orodha ya GlossPost kwenye Yahoogroups itaondoshwa na kupachikwa rasilimali mpya kwenye ProZ.com. Hata hivyo kwa muda uliopo, itakuwa ikiendelea chini ya usimamizi wa Maria Eugenia Farre. Aidha kutakuwa utumaji wa viungo kutoka GlossPost kwenye Yps na Midahalo ya Rasilimali za Watafsiri kwa GlossPost kwenye ProZ.com. Hata hivyo wasajiliwa na watumiji wa Midihalo ya Rasilimali ya Watafsiri wa GlossPost wanahimizwa kuweka utafiti wao mpya hadi GlossPost kwenye ProZ.com.

5.13 - Ni wapi nitajifunza historia ya GlossPost?

Haya mahojiano na Maria Eugenia Farre mwanzilizi wa GlossPost yana taarifa zaidi ya historia ya orodha.
