"I'll analogize Chinese, Japanese, Korean to Latin and Latin's devolution into the Romance Languages. Where does my analogy fail? Korea and Japan adopted Chinese, the Chinese writing system, and culture. [...] Similarly, Western Europe adopted Latin, the Latin writing system, and Roman culture."

"Well, if you ask someone to pronounce a bare consonant for you, they can't." Is that so? I can think of at least some consonants that I can pronounce without a vowel (e.g. n, m, s) (more) |

Just a friendly notice, but please don't post so many questions in the span of a few minutes. It comes across as firstly, low effort (you don't post any attempt of your own to answer the question), and it creates a "block" that pushes down all the other questions in the feed. (more) |

I'm unsure what your question is. Are you asking why -tion words can denote a process, even though English already has -ing forms? Or are you questioning if -tion words are actually used to denote processes? (more) |

As the question has completed the move from Q&A to Meta, and the bug discussed has been fixed, I've taken the liberty of deleting the comments about it. (more) |

@PeterTaylor Ah, I see what you mean. I admit it's also kind of weird there; but that challenge is kind of a special test run case on it's own. The next one probably will probably be a straight challenge with only one target language. (more) |

@PeterTaylor I see, so enumerating the points that can't be "lost in translation". I'll try to do some clarification criteria in the OP, if you have any concerns bring it up there (more) |

@PeterTaylor If you're referring to how the rules allow English -> English golfing challenges, then yes, #4 doesn't particularly make sense in that context. The entire idea of "translation" golf doesn't particularly make sense in a non-bilingual context, so there are bound to be some odd rules left o... (more) |

@fedorqui I tried to make the rules as general as possible; This set of rule would also allow e.g. the Spanish -> English translation-golf. Also, I thought it'd suite L&L better, we're all here to learn another language (or learn something about our own), aren't we? (more) |

@PeterTaylor I'm open to improvements to the challenge, if you'd like to suggest them! I have no experience with the Spanish translation golf, so any you have is valuable. What sort of criteria do you think would be good for this challenge? (more) |

@Lundin I didn't think about it, since I'm not sure what you'd abbreviate in this text anyway. Regardless, I've edited the post. (more) |

@Lundin Sure. The only limit is that it has to remain grammatical. (more) |

Translation Golf - Welcome! In an effort to drum up activity (given we haven't had any in over a week), I present the first translation golf! Before entering, please read the ground rules.

A: Translation Golf (draft stage) I've drafted sample translation-golf challenge post, and am planning on posting it on Saturday (if no one objects).

@fedorqui I don't see why we can't have both - the same rules would apply to an English -> English "translation" golf challenge. (more) |
