## Ground Rules (draft)

This is loosely based off of the [original translation golf on StackExchange](https://spanish.meta.stackexchange.com/a/2592), but modified to fit a wider range of languages.

### Goal: Translate a given text using the minimum number of characters

 1. The translation must be accurate
 2. Unless otherwise stated, the translation must be grammatically correct.
    - If using a dialect, the dialect must be specified, and the translation must solely use that dialect
    - If there is a question of whether something is grammatical, consult some authoritative source (or ask here on L&L!)
 3. If there is a question of whether a word exists, consult a dictionary or other authoritative source.
 4. The original poster must provide an example translation (whether golfed or non-golfed)
 5. Spaces and punctuation do not count as letters.
 6. Abbreviations may or may not be allowed, depending on the original poster[^1]
 7. If the source text does not specify gender, any gender may be used in the translation


[^1]: A divergence from the StackExchange rules, but sometimes the source text uses it and it would be a bit odd to exclude them from answers in that case.
