Do you know Ackuna? Você conhece Ackuna? – Ackuna Translator Platform Announces its First Contest, Sponsored by Kilgray

Há alguns meses, em um treinamento que ofereci para gerentes de projeto, comentei sobre várias plataformas e ferramentas que todo tradutor deveria conhecer. Uma delas foi Ackuna.

Vale a pena conhecer!

Ackuna é uma plataforma, ou melhor, é um ponto de encontro, que agora aparece com uma parceria estratégica que pode incentivar ainda mais os bons tradutores porque Ackuna está lançando seu primeiro concurso para os meses de março e abril, com alguns prêmios gratificantes para os vencedores e patrocínio de Kilgray.

Obrigada Ackuna e Kilgray por tornar o trabalho tradutório ainda mais gratificante.

Ackuna Translator Platform Announces its First Contest, Sponsored by Kilgray Translation Technologies


Ackuna.com is hosting its first ever contest, and they want you to win some amazing prizes, like MemoQ Pro, Amazon.com gift cards, and more!

If you have never heard of Ackuna (www.ackuna.com), it is a meeting place for translators and developers to come together to help localize the web. Ackuna offers a fun way for linguists to practice and hone their craft while translating smart-phone apps, earning reputation points and badges in the process. While on Ackuna you can also "follow" other users, message them, and promote yourself to potential clients. It's a social network, translation network, and game all rolled into one!

But back to the contest news...

For the months of March and April, Ackuna is hosting a translation contest for its users and giving away some great prizes for the winners.

To participate, you simply have to sign up at www.ackuna.com to register by March 31st. Participants compete by translating a popular app, while earning points for various accomplishments and tasks within the system. At the end of the contest, the top 3 translators with the most points will be determined the winners and will receive a year's license to the MemoQ Translator Pro software (valued at over $770 retail) as well as other great prizes.

The contest is open to everybody, however there are structures in place to ensure only serious participants will get far in the contest. Points are only awarded for the most correct submissions, while points are deducted for inaccurate translations.

Hurry! The official start of the contest will begin on April 1st, so register before March 31st so you don't be left in the dust!
