Tokyo, Japan (PRWEB) May 16, 2014 -- “Skill Challenge” is a new Conyac community feature that promotes an exchange of ideas and techniques on how to handle notoriously difficult translation subjects.
Conyac’s “Skill Challenge” will introduce a topic in one language and challenge its users to translate it to the best of their abilities. “Skill Challenges” will include subjects such as, proverbs, movie quotes, and other tricky translation topics.
Over the course of a three-day period users will be introduced to a topic, asked to come up with a translation, and cast their votes on which translation they think is the best. On the fourth day, the best translations will be announced in a ranking format.
Conyac hopes to increase its users with this new community function, and upon its release will be collaborating with the popular Japanese meme website Bokete. Bokete will supply “Skill Challenge” with a number of their most successful gag memes in an attempt to see how well Japanese humor will translate into other languages.
Through collaborating both parties hope to increase their user base, Bokete by reaching a new audience of foreign users, and Conyac by giving even novice translators an enjoyable way to polish their skill.
