Repository

-Project Details -

CONSUL is an open-source Citizen Participation and Open Government Application, it was originally designed for Madrid, Spain in 2015.
The feature of the program is to allow participation from citizens in several stages: Debates ، Proposals ، Participatory budgeting ، Voting ، Collaborative Legislation.
CONSUL is the most complete citizen participation tool for an open, transparent and democratic government.
Consul application
1-Debates
Anyone can open threads on any subject, creating separate spaces where people can discuss the proposed topic.

2-Participatory budgeting
Participatory budgets allow citizens to propose and decide directly how to spend part of the budget,
with monitoring and rigorous evaluation of proposals by the institution

3-Proposals
A space for everyone to create a citizens' proposal and seek supports.
Proposals which reach to enough supports will be voted and so, together we can decide the issues that matter to us.

4-Voting
Secure voting system for citizen proposals and enquiries from the institution.
Everyone can decide easily on the most important issues from their phones

It's an important project so I decided to translate it into Arabic.

Hi Ehab,

Thank you for your contribution, this is your first contribution to this project and this is my first review for a contribution by you. I know you are all new to this, but let's aim in your following post to increase the quality of your post and translation since submitting low-quality content will affect you.

Here are my notes. Please read them carefully and let me or @@dr-frankenstein know if you ever need assistance and if you ever need help so you can boost your score in the future.

Concerning the post, I am not sure why the quality of this post is less than the quality of your first post? At Utopian, we are always looking for improvement and doing better. Here are my notes:

The post lacks presentation a lot. At first glance, the reader loses interest in reading as the information is not well presented. You can surf Steemit for other translator's work and see an example of how they have presented their work
The post is missing valuable information including:
2.1) Crowdin project link
2.2) You can add an image for word count
The image source link is incorrect
Under Languages, you should mention what Language you are translating to
Better to include an image for this "I started on Sep 05, 2018 and I finished on Oct 6, 2018."
You have a lot of spelling, grammar, and punctuation mistakes although your post is relatively small. Please use a plugin or add-on that helps you
I see that in your post you realize that this is an important project, but you work does not reflect this!
Reading the description of the project is not well elaborative.
The filename you included in your post is wrong "budjets.yml" ?? Also, it is a good practice that you link this file.

Concerning the translation

I actually expected that you do a thorough investigation so that you can have more information about the project and inform the reader about it. You can check online https://www.consulproject.org/en for any available demos, documentation, tutorials... And I really urge you to do so that will speed up your translation and give you a direction of the context and which words to choose closely. This will also educate readers and moderators about the project.
You have several inconsistencies. Make sure that the same word is translated similarly so that the end user is not confused
You have several misstatements and other issues that I have noted and detailed to you in the DM
All translations that were voted are correct, and others will require revisiting and correction
Please always check the context of the translation on Crowdin before deciding on the translation
