I propose to create several new courts that will be subcourts of the English Language court. In order for the minstake of these new courts to be compatible with that of English Language, I am first proposing to make the following changes in English Language.
English Language
juror fee=.1 ETH
minstake=850 PNK
alpha=.5
Then the new proposed courts are:
Spanish-English Translation
Parameters
Court name: Spanish-English Translation
Parent court: English Language
Fee per juror: .067 ETH
Minimum take: 850 PNK
alpha: .148
Jurors for jump: 128
timesPerPeriod: [280800,437400,437400,291600]
Required Skills
Jurors in this court should have a strong command of both English and Spanish. While jurors do not necessarily have to have the skills of a professional translator themselves, they should be able to review texts translated between English and Spanish for the quality of their translation. Particularly, when presented with passages that are flagged by challengers as potentially erroneous or inadequate and arguments given by the translator and the challenger for why the passage should or should not be considered acceptable, jurors should be able to make a determination on the quality of the passage. Jurors should be capable of these tasks even when the text is being translated to or from regional variations of these languages, such as US/British English, or Mexican/Argentinian/European Spanish.
French-English Translation
