French Quizzes - Help Platform (for quizmakers and quiztakers)

+7
Many people have complained that english-speaking quizmakers tend to use online translators whenever they create quizzes in french, leading to poor overall quality on the website.

Being a french-speaking JetPunk user myself, I feel it is my duty to help fellow users translate more efficiently and accurately so as to put an end to the "Google Translate scourge".


How can I help you?
1) In this blog's comments
• Ask any questions you may have about the french language, whether it be a matter of vocabulary or grammar. I will gladfully teach you as long as you're willing to learn (i.e. don't expect me to correct all of your quizzes but rather try to understand your mistakes and do your best to fix them next time).
• Give me (user ID : 222893) collaboration rights in order to let me correct your quiz, then post the link down below. I will then send a recap of all changes so that you can learn from your errors.

2) On other platforms
• I am very active on the JetPunk Discord server. I will answer as fast as possible.
You may also befriend me : bolyaianna.

IMPORTANT RULES
1) As stated above, do NOT expect me to work for you. I am here to help and teach,
the only thing I ask in return is that you accept my help and try to learn.
2) Do NOT ask me to translate someone's quiz without their consent.
3) Make sure that the quiz you want to translate has NOT been translated before.


I hope this blog will help us make JetPunk a better place for french-speaking users.

With best regards,

Bolyai Anna.

Thanks for being willing to do this! I know many users (admittedly, including us formerly) use Google Translate to create low-quality quizzes in former languages and it should be stopped.

Excellent idea! It's true that many French quizzes are low quality translation, and it's boring. I think that it's a bit less common for several months, but it exists yet. Thanks for writting this blog, which will improve the quality of French quizzes, I'm sure!

I would be interested in making the Win the U.S. Presidential Election in French and would be very grateful for you to help. All I would need is the translation of these things. Thank you!!!

"It's election day and you are representing the Forest Green Party of America. Name any state to grab its electoral votes and defeat the hated Periwinkle party."

"Win the U.S. Presidential Election"

"Maine and Nebraska have become winner-takes-all states"

"You only have 20 seconds!!!"

"Thanks to Yev for translating!"

If you could comment with the translations on one of our quizzes or blogs that would be appreciated. Thanks!

Note that, in french, :s ;s ?s and !s are always preceded and followed by spaces. Dots and commas are only followed by spaces.

When "de" comes before a masculine noun such as empire, it's "du" instead.

Hi! Unrelated to this blog, but I'd like to join the JetPunk Discord. I've had trouble finding a link though, and the one you posted seems to have expired. Can you send an invite as a reply to this comment or something? If so, I'd really appreciate it!

Bonjour,

Super que vous souhaitiez aider avec les quiz des autres !

Nous vivons en France depuis plusieurs années, c'est pourquoi j'essaie de mettre en place un quiz en français de temps en temps.

En cas de doute, je vous demanderai certainement

Bonne journée!
