Failing eligibility criteria

"We hereby request 700 € for two years." see "Project length max 12 months." at Microgrants/Microgrants 2020. Note, I am random mapper, this is not an official review. Though I would suggest to fix it and recheck eligibility criteria Mateusz Konieczny (talk) 15:46, 11 May 2020 (UTC)

• Mateusz ... Yes, we know that the application is only intended for the duration of one year. But we do not make any further claims (server costs, man power, hardware etc.) and with our request we are one of the cheapest applications. We would like to know that the financing of the request is guaranteed for two years, because there will be a lot of development work necessary. After these two years we will have to look for a new sponsor anyway. fredao 09:41, 16 May 2020 (UTC)

Automatic translation?

You know it doesn't work well for every language, right? As a Russian native speaker I can say that Deepl gives roughly the same low quality result when translating to Russian as Google Translate. Have you made any research involving native speakers for every language to assess the possibility of automatic translation? --SviMik (talk) 19:23, 15 May 2020 (UTC)

• @SviMik ... do you know our worklflow? did you check our application? read the headline only ... is not enough to comment an application ;-) editorial team habr.com/ru/ fredao 09:24, 16 May 2020 (UTC)

I'm sorry for not reading external resources. I have read the proposal twice and found nothing about the workflow. The proposal should be self-explanatory and not requiring to read your whole blog on habr to understand what you are doing. It may be obvious to you, but for someone who is not involved your proposal is unclear. SviMik (talk) 16:23, 16 May 2020 (UTC)
