Hello Everyone-

This is to all of the Haitian Creole translators who were apparently too busy to choose a winner in "The Sounds of Silence" contest- it's very disappointing that we all had put forth considerable effort to do the translation and participate in the competition yet it was entirely in vain since not enough individuals from our community voted.

This is sad- especially considering the fact that all the other language pairs were well-represented and well-participated in.

What does this say about our community as Haitian Creole translators?
I can think of a few things myself.
All it took was literally 60 seconds out of your day to choose a winner.
