+Torgut Posted April 19, 2023 Posted April 19, 2023 I received a submission. All in German. Nothing is mentioned about the listing language in the category recquirements. What to do ? Quote
+Alfouine Posted April 20, 2023 Posted April 20, 2023 The english language is a default requirement, you are not supposed to understand german, no need to be mentioned in the category description Almost each waymarker beginning to publish waymark do not translate his waymark in english 1 Quote
+Torgut Posted April 20, 2023 Author Posted April 20, 2023 Ok, I wasn't aware it was a default one. Quote
+Bear and Ragged Posted April 20, 2023 Posted April 20, 2023 Quote LANGUAGE NOTE: We recognize Waymarking as a global hobby and welcome waymarks from all countries. Because of our international scope, we also acknowledge ENGLISH as our lingua franca. English will create the highest level of accessibility globally. All waymarks must have at least a short description in ENGLISH. We encourage bilingual and multilingual waymarks, but one of the languages must be English. I have a copy of this, and place it in the decline notification, when reviewing Waymark submissions to categories I'm an officer in. Quote
+Torgut Posted April 20, 2023 Author Posted April 20, 2023 Yes, but if there isn't a word about it in the category, which rules can I invoke to justify declining it. Not just because I think like that. 1 Quote

Might even be from a forum discussion. Anything I've declined with that has always come back with a translation. (I do run the description through a translator, just to check there are no glaring errors, so they can be corrected at the same time.) Quote

He can't, because it isn't. It is, however, a part of the requirements of at least a few other categories, copied and pasted from one to the next, as it should be for all categories. However, I applaud his attitude, as well as the methodology in his handling of the matter, as it appears to be achieving the correct results, with essentially NO Muss, NO fuss.
