Hi Joshua,

Thank you very much indeed for tour explanations and clarifications. I have 
open a new subject since the old one appears locked/closed on my side.

I understand the constraints of reviewing all posted translations. 

However, it has been an extremely long while now since Bosnian is 100% 
complete for the Google Translation part. All other sections are also fully 
translated except two (Groups UI and Knol). Working on it.

*May I ask if you have any idea of when Google Translation in Bosnian will 
be put into service? *

We have had discussions with neighboring Croatian, Montenegrin and Serbian 
(by alphabetical order) translators and we all agree that we would not like 
our languages, which have many common points, to be called other names than 
their own. 

Furthermore, you state in your message: "The limiting factor is almost 
always training data. What we 
need is large amounts of parallel data, that is, large amounts of 
documents or sentences that have already been translated between the 
new language and one of our supported languages."   

However:
*
*
*- The indicated % are wrong. As you explained, they can change according 
to the amount of data you put to be translated. But it cannot be 0% anyway 
when something is translated. Furthermore, if you have a look at the 
Bosnian language for example, it has been months that I read "0% completed" 
while all is translated (according to Google itself) when I click on it. 
Only two sections are not (see below).*
*- Size limits for glossaries and TMs are very limited. I can provide with 
dozens of thousands of elements but it is not technically possible within 
the system as it is. Setting a limit at 1MB (!!!) is fully in contradiction 
with what you state in your message.*
*- Supported formats are very restrictive. Limiting all uploads to .csv 
files is strange, the least to say. Converting, .php, .csv, etc files is 
easy for developers or more generally individuals with computer knowledge, 
but not that simple for most translators.*

*Again, m**ay I please ask if you have any idea of when Google Translation 
in Bosnian will be put into service, since I have been asking around and 
around for years now?* I would be extremely grateful if you could provide 
any form of information about this.

Best,

Senad
