Hi, I just wanted to know whether it's possible to post a request with only a video - to have someone fill in the lyrics?
The ultimate goal, of course, would be translating it as well, but sometime it could be hard if you can't make out the lyrics yourself.
So, if it's possible, please tell me the proper way of doing so. And if not, I think it would be a great feature to implement in a site such as this.

Thanks!

Sure, you can post such a request in the appropriate language sub-forum.
Post the video and write that you'd like someone to write down the lyrics and translate them as well.

Yes, it can be done that way when the lyrics are hard to find or the requester doesn't know the song/language.

In that case a link to the video or sound file can be posted in the forums along with a request to write down the original lyrics or/and translate the song.

If the lyrics are easy to find then it's better for the requesters to submit the lyrics themselves.

Thanks a lot.

I do believe, however, it could be better to have it as an option when posting a new request. Firstly, because it'll be more accessible and get more views. And secondly, because asking for lyrics in forums is not something exclusive for these forums only. So... just some thoughts I had - wishing to make the site better.

Anyway, I'll surly give the forums a try. I hope there are as much "lyrics writers" as there are translators Smile
