In other words: As a responsible translator, you'll have to thoroughly research the suggestions anyway. The most valuable contribution for me as an asker often is a starting point for further research, a starting point which I didn't know before.



Ok, but in my case I only ask Kudoz when I can't find anything relevant on the net (e.g. I already spent one hour or more searching). Therefore, only documented answers help me.

Of course some askers ask questions whose answers can easily be found on the web. But I usually don't answer those "easy" questions.

Yes, that's what everyone should do. I do.

I don't think this is true in most of the cases, because now you don't research the source term anymore, but the (alleged) target term, which is a whole different story.

Even if you're trying to get your answer in first, Jun 18, 2009

you can always post it and write 'refs. to follow', then take your time expanding your answer. That's got to be preferable to a * -
