Hello All

I am from Turkey and currently I am doing my Chemical Engineering PhD in Montana State.

Since I do not have lots of spare time, I like to do 1 or 2 Turkish Translation per day. I like to make my time and utopian-io's vote worth so I spend some time on my translations, they usually takes 1.5 hour to 2 hour.

If you increase the threshold to 1000 words, I do not think I will have time for that. I cannot spend 4 hours on a translation and I do not want to translate in a rush just to get upvote.
I have 4 more friends with me here (are also in the Grad School with me), they are also doing 1-2 translations with me everyday

Also some of the strings has highly code structure, so to make everyone's effort worth, I translate around 600 words instead of 500.

I guess what I am trying to say is, I also believe it will cause you to lose some of the quality translators. I do not think I will have time to translate 1000-1200 words. I believe 500 words were just perfect amount for upvote / words.

You have something really good going here utopian, I hope it will not change !
