Topic: How to use labels without violating community rules?

Posted under Tag/Wiki Projects and Questions

Labels? Are you talking about notes? Or tags? I'm slightly confused with what you're asking

你触摸的每张图片都受到影响。有可能因为你使用翻译器时,无意中翻译了图片的说明。下次请注意。

They translated a bunch of post descriptions from English to Chinese for no reason and ended up getting warned for it.

Translations to languages other than English are irrelevant to the site. Do not change English descriptions to other languages.

Yes, English and original language only in descriptions. See Wiki entry: translated_description
So if it's a Chinese comic with Chinese language source, (say, Cantonese or Mandarin-speaking artist), then you can do something like this:

Chinese description

例子 (Lìzi)

English translation

Example

You'd tag that Chinese_description+Translated_description. If the comic is Chinese, with English notes, then you'd also have: Chinese_text+translated

But don't do it for translating descriptions (or comic text) into Chinese.

Leaving comments in Chinese is OK, though? Pretty sure that's allowed. I don't remember seeing any rules against it, and tons of non-English comments exist.

知道了 谢谢

This may be far-fetched, but I wonder if it is possible that OP did not intentionally translated the post descriptions, but was unintentionally changed by some kind of automatic page translation feature by the web browser? Is the e621 edit mode resilient against this type of potential DOM mutations by the browser or its extensions? (Is this even possible? I've never looked into it.)

Edit: MDN says translate="no": https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Global_attributes/translate

Most likely yes, every time he edits a post with an English description, it just changes to Chinese. I have been trying to tell him that, but he is still making the same mistake.
