Hello @hivewatchers, @guiltyparties,@Logic
Is @spaminator also one of you? If so, I have a question. If not, please forward it. You seem to know each other.
I usually post in German. But some posts, be it about travel or reviews or other, more than simple pictures with flowers, I like to write bilingual.
- I think that these posts are also interesting and/or entertaining for non-Germans
- My social media crowd consists of 70 percent non-Germans and I want to make reading my posts as enjoyable as possible. I know my English is far from that of an English native, but it's still better than English made by Google.
see it here:

Unfortunately, such posts are usually too long to fit in two languages in one post.
A post with more than 1000 characters or more than 10 pictures does not fit into this time, especially if it is supposed to entertain and sell and half of the post is foreign in language.
Another point is, that bilingual posts on Medium and Travelfeed are not welcome.
On my own blog I will also separate the languages completely. It's just more polite to the readers.
If you want to know what type of posts, check on travelfeed at @dirkzett.
What do I have to do so that @spaminator does not downvote one of such linguistically different double posts?
- I don't want to become a candidate for lists of plagiarists or spammers.
- I don't want the received votes to disappear, that's unfair to the voters.
- I don't want to post a variant for nothing. I work on such posts for several hours.
- I want to reach people in German and in English and also those who translate an English post into their language and then read it. If you ever read something that would automatically translate from German to Thai or Spanish, you know why.
- But I also don't want to reduce the reading pleasure of my German-speaking readers.
I am curious about your answer
and would be happy if it is not :
" There is nothing we can do because @spaminator is too unfexible for that."
With @cheetah a message was enough, then you could post posts with the same content , but different languages.
Hello.
If you translate the post to one of 6500 languages, please decline the payout in that second post.
Thank you, O King of the Hive,
for giving me the grace to write for your kingdom free of charge.
I don't see how what you're doing falls under the scope outlined in this very post. Keep doing what you're doing. @hivewatcher / @spaminator you've got better places to use downvote power than stuff like this, don't you?
Recycling the same post in one of the other 6500 languages is considered farming and spam. This type of abuse is particularly getting on the nerves of the community. We have dealt with it for a few years.
It's not a problem if a recycled post has rewards declined.
There's got to be a better way...
It just seems really unjust that a person who has taken the time to manually translate their post into another language for their readers is forbidden from receiving rewards because the content is written in another language already, by that same author
There's a couple of implications that don't sit well with me...
A Hiver must create separate sets of monetized content for each language? If your audience or readership is international and speaks more than one language, you can't tell them the same thing at the same time, and get fairly rewarded for both? The Internet is a global network! Hive is about inclusion! Right? Multilingual people may not feel all that welcome. If a book you've written is translated into another language, you don't just give away the translated copies...
I understand this is likely an unfathomably large and more general problem, with plagiarists ripping off content, running it through
machine translation and then posting it as their own all the time
And it's a thankless job that you do, I'm certain
But this person is saying they translate manually
That's far from 'recycling'
Create both language versions in one post or decline payouts, please.
There is no way to verify if the content has been machine translated or manually translated.
Machine translations are excellent now and usually the final result only requires slight corrections to the content.
Fair enough!

yes, spaminator is controlled by hivewatchers and or guilty-party
