Dear Vesna and dear Kemal, I am a Teacher and after Mid Term, the school is having a multicultural week. Each teacher has to look for 1 specific word taken from a list of 35 words choosen by the pupils and plan some activities. As a teacher, I cannot say it is homework. Furthermore, I don't know anything about such work posted on Proz as nothing as come up in my language pairs in this matter (English<>French). As I have posed the same question for all the languages of the European continent.
Kemal Mustajbegovic May 28, 2004:
My humble opinion: this question should have beeen squashed regardless of the answers proposed.
Vesna Zivcic May 28, 2004:
Dear Hacene, could you please explain how come that your KudoZ question(s) are the same as the content of a recently posted job (please see below). If your query is made for school purposed, why didn't you mark it as belonging to a (kind of) homework? Mod

Vesna i Kemale, posto ste moderatori, ja bih postavila pitanje kako se od strane ProZ tretira ovako nesto - da se odredjena stvar prvo navede kao posao, a zatim da se na svim tim jezicima postave besplatna pitanja?

Dear Hacene,

I\'m sorry about this. It\'s good that you explained it to us.
The coincidence was really incredible, since you asked the questions for some of the languages quoted in the relevant job offer posted on ProZ.com yesterday and you asked about the very same word - \"peace\".
The similarity was, somehow, too striking.



Regards and good luck,
Tanja Abramovic

agree Chicago-Bosnian : da ali sad je kasno posto ona vec ima prevode na srpskom i hrvatskom, na bosanskom jos niko nije dao- znaci fali joj taj. Moze se sakriti odgovor i samo ostaviti ovo objasnjene sto si napisala. U pravu si ti, niisu prevodi za licnu upotrebu...ocigledno...

u pravu si - sakricu onaj za srpski, pa cu staviti ono od agencije.
agree Ulvija Tanovic (X) : hmmm... nije uopce trebalo postaviti ovo kao posao

hvala.

Comment: "am sorry, but nothing to do with this job. 1) I have to have it ready for the 5th June. 2) I have far more language than these to search for and most of these are of no concern of mine. Thank you for your time nonetheless."
