Is it possible to translate to your language? It will be very comfortable for you! We will implemented your language to AAM web pages.
We also used english translation for name of albums. It is better for your understanding. You can see here:

Rating
Please use rating system for other photos in our gallery. This is really good information for your colleagues and using of rating system is very important for position of photo in our gallery. Look here! You need to have 10 votes to start our competition (to be in TOP RATED gallery).
How to use the rating system?
If you click at our gallery, you will find here more items (names of months, history and astrophoto of year). Click with mouse at correct album and you can see 12 pictures on the one page. Below these photos you can see stars for rating and number of votes. According our experiences from previous rounds of AAM, silver stars don´t give information about average. This is very important, because nobody knows which photo is better and which photo is not good. Detailed information about photo you get by click with mouse at small picture. You get picture in full format with information about arithmetical avarage and also below you can see rating system. By movement of mouse at silver stars you can see gold color of stars and according your choice by click you send rating for this picture. Upper of rating system there is help list (what you mean, if you use number of stars. This is only for recommandation).
Is there any photos which have not my votes?
If you go into our gallery often, may be you can have problem with orientation, for which photos I used rating and for which photos I didn´t use rating. According this we prepared for you RSS feed. You can remember only your last picture, where you used rating. Pictures after this photo have not your votes.
Where I am able to find TOP RATED pictures?
If we click with mouse at album item, we are in requested album. We can see 12 pictures at one internet page. If we would like to see TOP RATED photos from this album, we find in menu item TOP RATED photos. TOP RATED photos are in order of arithmetical average after 10 votes! Photos with less than 10 votes there are not in TOP RATED!!!
