Translations:Help:Extension:Translate/Translation best practices/1/en

Becoming a good translator needs lots of practice. Many if not most volunteer translators don't have formal translator training. It is no wonder that the quality of many volunteer translated works is sometimes wanting. But even bad translations are almost always better than no translation at all. There are always more translations needed than translators available. For the social aspect, translators should group together and we encourage them to take the ask, don't guess attitude, while translation administrators should be responsive to questions and welcome new translators.
