I have translated an ANN post (bounty)...can i as a newbie post it here on it's own thread (if that's the correct term)?

Now why on earth would want to post an Ann/bounty translation here? Whatever benefit the translation entails for you is between yourself and whoever asked you to translate it. The translation will in any case need to be placed in the appropriate section and language, and if misplaced will be deleted by moderators is spotted or reported.

A translation of the kind does not constitute a credential that postulates for merits. You will have have helped the ICO, but that’s about it.
