<P> </P>
<P>I have done a lot of translation for the trustee board elections, but did not have a vote, because I did not have enough edits. For voting editors had to have a large number of edits (if I remember rightly minimum 400) to be able to vote. We also had arbitrators and stewards elections. Now there is a Picture of the year competition on Commons, needing 100 edits.</P>
<P> </P>
<P>If you spend your time on translating you cannot use your time with edits and might take a lot of time to obtain enough edits to vote. If this is the case then translators are penalised in elections.</P>
<P> </P>
<P>If translators can obtain rights to vote for any elections by doing lots of translations instead of editing then their work effort is rewarded.</P>
<P> </P>
<P>Sorry if all this was not clear in my previous mail</P>
