Translation Request?

Posted under General

Godel

So I've been seeing a lot of images lately that have no text, but are tagged with translation_request. They do have a note (usually posted by the poster).
My question is, should these images with external notes be tagged with translation_request?

Examples:
post #521020
post #521019
post #521017
(btw the guy that posted these posted like 20 others(recently, I just heard he's posted many more ;) ))

Also, should the wiki entry be more strongly defined as "a translation needed in intra-image text" or something like that?

It's not confusing if the person replying simply quotes him.

As for whether it should get a translation_request tag, I'm not sure. There's the commentary tag that points out such an artist comment is present though.

Hmm, I'm thinking since tags are for the contents of the images(minus copyright info/artists), the translation_request tag should only be applied to those which have the translation needed within the image. Though that's just a suggestion

While on the subject we should also implement a "translated" tag to go with it. rather than lumping the translated ones with the translated images, for example what if the image text is not translated but the comment is?
