Hello Aphaia
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.
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.
If translators can obtain rights to vote for any elections by doing lots of translations
instead of editing then their work effort is rewarded.
Sorry if all this was not clear in my previous mail

As far as I assume rightly you meant here something to
write/full-scratch as "editing", totally I agree.
Is there an editing equivalent to translations, or are
our
efforts ignored when it comes to voting ?
I have no idea what you are talking. Which voting?
The reason I ask this question is because looking at
the list of my activities in my target language I found no translation effort credits.
Further, I understand that because Meta does not belong to any chapter any
translation you do on it cannot be credited.
I am afraid I am lost here too. what do you mean with "the list of my
activities in my target language"?
