Eusebius,
The translation begun 1 month ago. For one month anyone could go there and translate the pages to his language, (for example the pt version - made by me - was created in 31 Marchhttp://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Commons:Picture_of_the_Year/2010/pt&action=history. French people had one month to translate everything, and according with this pagehttp://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Picture_of_the_Year/2010/Translations, they did. If something don't got translated is not because they didn't had time.
And all this time, the start and end date of Round 1 was clear. We anounce here, in village pumps, Twitter, Facebook, IRC. I'm sorry we forget to send you a personal invitation. _____ *Béria Lima* http://wikimedia.pt/ (351) 925 171 484

Additional comment: the first round ended before its end date could be translated and displayed to French-speaking visitors. Seriously, perhaps I don't have anything to say because I didn't contribute, but this POTY edition looks like a bad joke to me.

Hi all.
We receive this invitation on april 29th, and the first round finishes on may 4th? I took 10 days of vacations. Before I left, nothing was up, and when I come back, it's already over?
Or maybe there's something I didn't understand?
Regards Guillaume

Dear Wikimedians,
Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the 2010 Picture of the Year competition is now open. We're interested in your opinion as to which images qualify to be the Picture of the Year for 2010. Any user registered at a Wikimedia wiki since 2010 or prior with more than 200 edits as of 1 January 2011 (UTC) is welcome to vote. Check your eligibility now.[1] If you meet the criteria, you are able to vote.
Nearly 800 images that have been rated Featured Pictures by the international Wikimedia Commons community in the past year are all entered in this competition. From professional animal and plant shots to breathtaking panoramas and skylines, restorations of historically relevant images, images portraying the world's best architecture, maps, emblems, diagrams created with the most modern technology, and impressive human portraits, Commons features pictures of all flavors.
For your convenience, we have sorted the images into topic categories. Two rounds of voting will be held: In the first round, you can vote for as many images as you like. The first round category winners and the top ten overall will then make it to the final. In the final round, when a limited number of images are left, you must decide on the one image that you want to become the Picture of the Year.
To see the candidate images just go to:
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Picture_of_the_Year/2010/Galleries
Wikimedia Commons is interested in hearing your opinions on our featured images of 2010. The deadline for first round voting is the 4th of May at 23:59 (UTC).
Thanks, Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year committee
