Can you please try and stop gaming the system?

There are 33.000 translations to go for your mother tongue Sinhala. There is really no need to make things easy on yourself and copy and paste trivial strings into messages for language you have none to extremely basic comprehension of (like Icelandic). This is the 3rd thread on the page that addresses this issue. I will not be making you aware of this issue again -- I fully expect you to understand my point now, and stick to what you really know.

As a side note: I've decided that your non-Sinhala contributions will not count for this translation rally, even though they may show to you as qualified on Special:Rally500.

But my non-Sinhala translations are in good quality, if you are not sure please ask from some users. There are 33,000 messages left for sinhala but it's not easy to translate that language and i work hard to translate that language. Please don't give me another penalty like 2011 December Rally because i am not cheating. I hope you will understand me. Thanks!

I'm done discussing this.

33,000 messages, but not all count for rally? Why remove my non-Sinhala translations? Other languages have lot of easy messages to translate but my language haven't. What can i do? Can you add more products like "Mifos" to the rally?

You should re-read the discussions on your talk page to see why. You're constantly gaming beyond the parameters of acceptability.

MediaWiki has 5000 translations to be done, and there are some 1000 more that count for the rally. That's 6000 in total. Still enough to be done.

But that messages are too big to translate, sometimes it takes an half-hour to translate one message. But other languages have simple messages to translate. When i take half-hour for one message other user done over 50+ messages in thier languages, i think it's not fair. I want to translate my other known languages and count in the rally.

Please see this link https://translatewiki.net/wiki/Special:Contributions/Zanatos He is translating more than 2 languages with Microsoft suggestion, But his native language is "shi". https://translatewiki.net/wiki/User_talk:Zanatos#Check_translations_8335

I was worked hard to translate "si" messages but other users are using easy ways like Mirosoft suggestion. Sinhala language don't have any.

Thanks for your report, which has been acted upon. However, this is no excuse for reducing the quality of your translations, if you care about what we're doing here. I'm sure you'll be able to qualify for the prize even contributing only good quality translations in your native language.

My "si" translations are 100% in good quality. It's my native language. :D
