Future language-review desk

Translation review and contributor guidance

A public standard for checking French, German, Spanish and Italian copy before any volunteer-submission channel opens.

Current status

Guidance published; submissions not yet open

The site has no public editorial email, moderation queue or secure submission form. Please do not send personal information through unrelated channels. This page establishes the review and credit rules first.

Review rubric

What a fluent reviewer will be asked to check

Meaning

Does the page preserve the English source’s meaning without adding facts or stronger claims?

Natural language

Would a fluent reader use these words, sentence shapes and levels of formality?

Book terminology

Are official translated titles, series names, formats and narrator credits copied from the cited edition—not translated afresh?

Interface clarity

Are buttons, menus, warnings and error messages brief, unambiguous and consistent?

Spoiler boundary

Does the translation reveal exactly the same amount as the English version, especially in summaries and disclosure controls?

Accessibility

Do link labels, headings, image descriptions and form instructions still make sense without nearby visual context?

One page at a time

Proposed review packet

  1. Exact public page URL and language
  2. Copy of the English reference text
  3. Current translated text
  4. Specific suggested replacement
  5. Reason: meaning, grammar, terminology, tone, accessibility or spoiler control
  6. Publisher or library source when a factual edition detail changes

Two-person boundary

How changes should be accepted

  1. A fluent reviewer proposes or approves the language.
  2. The editor checks factual claims, sources and spoiler scope.
  3. A second check is sought for material changes or disputed regional wording.
  4. The change log records the page, language, date and nature of the update.

Transparent credit

The reviewer chooses how—or whether—to be named

Named credit

Display name, reviewed language, broad contribution and review month. A personal website may be linked only by explicit request.

Initials or chosen name

A reviewer may use initials or a stable chosen public name without publishing a legal name.

Anonymous credit

The change can be recorded as “fluent volunteer review” with no public identifier.

No endorsement implied

Credit recognises a particular review; it does not imply responsibility for the whole site, future edits or commercial links.

Contributor rights and safeguards

  • Public credit is opt-in and can be corrected or removed on request.
  • Email addresses and private correspondence are never published as credit.
  • Substantial original contributions are not accepted under vague ownership terms; reuse permission must be clear.
  • No payment, free product or commercial relationship may be hidden.
  • Disagreement is documented respectfully; the editor remains responsible for the final published wording.
  • Reviewers should disclose close relationships with the author, publisher, retailer or production.

Priority review order

  1. Navigation, buttons, warnings and affiliate disclosure
  2. Home, books in order and audiobook finder
  3. Individual book and recording pages
  4. Fan features, long reference pages and editorial essays

When submissions can open

The backlog requires a public contact route and moderation approach. When both exist, this page can link to a structured form using the review packet above.
