Dear translatewiki.net user.
In December 2011 you contributed 500 or more translations at translatewiki.net during our Translation Rally[1], which you helped make a great success.
We pledged 1,000 Euro to be divided among all users that would be able to reach the goal of 500 new translations in the given timeframe. In total 37 users reached this goal, which was very much way beyond our expectation[2].
You have indicated that you would like to receive your cut of the bounty (EUR 27,95, including transfer costs) in transferred to you. There are three ways we can do this:
- We wire it to your PayPal account. This is the easiest and cheapest method if you live outside the European Union, but this is not available everywhere. If this is your preferred method of transfer, please reply to this e-mail stating your wiki name and the e-mail address you are using for your PayPal account. We expect the transfer costs to be about 1.25 Euro, which means you will receive about 25.00 Euro.
- We wire it to your bank account (or the bank account of a beneficiary of your choice). If this is your preferred method of transfer, or your only possible method of transfer, please read on.
- You live in India, you provide it with your banking details and we will transfer it will be transferred by an Indian friend.
Good to know: international money transfers are ridiculously expensive. We will be transferring money from a country in the European Union. Transfers to other EU countries are expected to cost less than 1 Euro (so you will receive 27.00 Euro or more). For other countries, transfer costs are expected to be up to the amount to be transferred (they will vary per country, we have no knowledge of the details beforehand). So you may receive nothing, depending on your country.
We have looked into ways to reduce transfer costs, but have not been able to find any. If you choose to change the beneficiary from yourself to Stichting Open Progress based on this information, please let us know, and we will change it according to your wishes. You can in fact choose to have it donated to any PayPal account. In that case, please let us know the e-mail address of the PayPal account you would like it transferred to in your name.
We need the following information from you in reply to this e-mail (information will be treated confidentially and will be seen only by User:GerardM[3] to receive e-mails with information and reply to them and User:GerardM[4] he will also make the actual payments):
- Your wiki name (REQUIRED)
- Your IBAN account number, or account number and national bank code, or account number and BIC code (REQUIRED)
- Your full real name to which the bank account is registered (REQUIRED)
- The home address to which the bank account is registered (REQUIRED)
A link to this message will also be posted on your user talk page. If you fail to respond by 1 March 2012, the beneficiary for your cut of the bounty will be updated to Stichting Open Progress. Thank you again for your continued support to http://translatewiki.net. Please do not forget to return often and make as many contributions as you are able to!
Kind regards,
Gerard Meijssen translatewiki.net staff

Please respond by sending me an e-mail. Thanks GerardM (talk) 14:20, 8 February 2012 (UTC)
Hi. Based on feedback from a native Afrikaans speaker and some own research, I have concluded that your skill level in Afrikaans was too low to count the translations as qualifying in the translation rally. You have, in my opinion, abuse a machine translation engine to get to your high number of contributions, and that's not what we are about; even if we are having a contest. Quality should be valued more than quantity, and you should know your own limits.
Because of this you are no longer the winner of the translation rally. Because of your contributions to your native language, you still do qualify for a cut of the bounty.
My advise to you is to get in touch with Afrikaans translators and to find a way to make up for done damage.
I did my best for sinhala language translations, but i'm not a native speaker of Afrikaans and i didn't cheated in this rally.
Look at those results. More than 10 users limits there translations for 500 only, because they want to get there Bounty, Not to continue there translation for long time. Now look at me, I didn't stop my translation for Sinhala when i complete my 500 messages. I don't work for only money. If my Afrikaan translations are bad, I'm sorry.
I recognise and appreciate your effort. I have explained why I have disqualified part of your contributions -- and not all.
Ok! Thanks, and happy new year.
Hi! Apparently it took you a while to get active after requesting translator rights. I'm glad to see you have started to contribute to Sinhala translations. The language has more than 15 million speakers, but we do not have many translators for it. Great to have you! I hope you will keep on contributing in the future. If you have any questions, please let us know at support.
Thanks!
Congratulations and thanks for your contributions, but this is a non-standard amount, I hope you'll understand that we can't have a template every 500 (or less) edits. 2500 is great anyway! ;-)
You are welcome!
Following your post on support, I would like to mention that there is a problem with localisation of the donation pages for users who are using a computer in a region covered by a Wikimedia chapter with a fund-raising agreement with Wikimedia Foundation. If you are in a country which has a Wikimedia chapter, then please read this on meta. Please let me know if you have this problem, as I am trying to get this long-standing problem addressed, so far with almost no results.
Thank You!
