List of fake Dutch translators

[friends1980]

Let me use this opportunity to shamelessly promote myself once more as a Dutch translator. PM me if you're looking for a good and trustworthy translator.

Further on, here's a list of people who are NOT making any sense in Dutch.

Therefore, it's safe to say they're FAKE Dutch translators and dirty cheaters. Naughty, naughty!

No idea which bot this guy used, but it sucks. Added and removed some characters to make it "look human", which made it look even worse because there are words in there that simply don't exist. Also confirmed by other members.

First rule to not get caught if you're using bot translation: do not translate the name of the project. Otherwise even people who don't speak Dutch can see you're cheating. Not sure if the guy was paid for this translation, but if he was, that bounty manager is one lazy f*ck who probably didn't even open the PDF. Sent the translator a PM about a week ago, asking for a reaction. Never received a reply and I'll probably never will.



To be continued (if more cheaters are to be found) ........

Have you reported the posts? It sounds like a violation of this rule:

27. Using automated translation tools to post translated content in Local boards is not allowed.

I thought this was an account of somebody who has been banned, but its actually the alt of a translator who has already been busted for crappy translations. I present to you

The address was provided on an airdrop spreadsheet under the Bitcointalk username "reezana" (misspelled on the spreadsheet).

So it actually is a case of ban evasion, but the evidence connecting rezaanahvi and rezaanahviII must not have been very solid.    


Oh, when I saw your avatar I momentarily thought I had been hacked, even though I saw it already, and I haven't worn that picture for months.

God knows why I do not have the automatic reflex of checking the addresses of those people. I will do so in the future, which is starting now.

I think we've truly written history, but if the presence of the nutildah-III annoys (or indeed: confuses ) you, let me know and I'll remove it immediately.

Looks better than a bounty campaign avatar tho.

edit: Not sure if I did, as you can see this specific one dates from a while back. I haven't archived his posts, so I'll leave it at that for now.
