Request for translation administrator (YellowFrogger)
I want to have rights that have never been revoked: As a Translation Administrator, I would mark some pages for translation with translate tag given my active contribution in translation, and my other language (no wonder most translation admins speak another language). As you can see here: User talk: YellowFrogger, Dmehus (he was the one who re-established my Autopatrolled rights) supports that I need these rights. Note: My English is a medium level, I use the translator just to make sure some words I don't know. But I don't trust one bit Thanks. YellowFrogger (✉ Talk  ✐ Edits ) 23:11, 15 December 2021 (UTC)


 * This seems reasonable to me given the user's involvement in translation and apparent competence with the tools, as well as offer a fair opportunity to contribute and prove himself in this technical aspect. --Raidarr (talk) 01:44, 16 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Yea! And what stands out from the translation admninistrator is speaking other languages. thanks for considering YellowFrogger (✉ Talk  ✐ Edits </b>)</b> 01:48, 16 December 2021 (UTC)
 * I'd probably expect that part, but the nice thing for TA is the technical marking they do and familiarity with the process. To be fair and for Administrators to note however, I am not authoritative on the TA process, and if I have the wrong impression here they may by all means disregard it. --Raidarr (talk) 01:52, 16 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Pursuant to statements on Discord including the religious use of machine translation and other raised notes, I revoke my above statement in full. --Raidarr (talk) 02:32, 16 December 2021 (UTC)
 * I use the translator but I don't trust it. I don't think you even knew that, (and yes, my English isn't totally bad, I understand and check things out). YellowFrogger</b> (✉ Talk </b> ✐ Edits </b>)</b> 02:35, 16 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Another, translation admins don't really need to be fluent either. Just mark pages for translation. If not, there would have to be a group to translate pages, and my translations are good. YellowFrogger</b> (✉ Talk </b> ✐ Edits </b>)</b> 02:41, 16 December 2021 (UTC)
 * If machine translations have been used systematically and without careful review then I'm inclined to remove all your translations. Given your recent conduct and the fact that translations are your major contribution, I'm also leaning on a block. ~ RhinosF1 - (chat)· acc· c -  10:15, 16 December 2021 (UTC)
 * But most people do. And as well, why my recent conduct? I don't remember breaking any rules. YellowFrogger</b> (✉ Talk </b> ✐ Edits </b>)</b> 16:57, 16 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Machine translations are usually of poor quality and anyone using them risks them being deleted if we can't review them confidently. Luckily, we have Lake who is a native speaker and was able to check yours without finding too many issues. You only have to look a few threads up to find recent issues with you. ~ RhinosF1 - (chat)· acc· c -  17:12, 16 December 2021 (UTC)
 * I support weak oppose this <span style="display:inline-block;border:2px solid #bfff00;border-radius:8px;background-image:linear-gradient(to bottom right, #75ff75, #ffff80)"> AP 📨 01:54, 16 December 2021 (UTC)
 * , how would you prepare pages for translation and where would you mark them for translation. Will you please prepare Alternate accounts for translation to show that you have fair knowledge of the how the extension works. Plus, will you please describe this recent edit (not talking about the edit summary). --Magogre (talk) 04:37, 16 December 2021 (UTC)
 * From recent contributions it appears to me that you may be going too quickly into things and it might be best to slow down before requesting rights and take time to understand the functioning of the Meta system. I also agree that using machine translations for translating is not appropriate and is not the point of human translators. --DeeM28 (talk) 18:46, 16 December 2021 (UTC)
