During the past few weeks the SikhiToTheMax Sevadaars have been cross checking the English translations in the Software.
We want to state the following just to clear up some misconceptions.
1. The alternative translations were added as a cross reference but by no means were a finalised translation. Since updating is an ongoing process the changes were going to be used as discussion points to compare with the original translation. The new structure we have devised (described below) is a better approach to doing this and we hope that all will agree and participate.
2. The Sevadaars who designed the SikhiToTheMax site do NOT translate the Gurbani on the site, but are active in checking the existing Translation to identify any discrepancies.
3. The original English Translation was done by Bhai Sant Singh Jee, amazing work and it helped immensely in starting the ball rolling in the design of SikhiToTheMax. The original translation will always remain there for future cross referencing.
4. However there were some very minor flaws in the Translations, Some words used made for uncomfortable reading in Divaans held in Gurdwara's. We hope to correct them with the use of other translations (mainly punjabi) and an error reporting system.
5. It has been stated on some forums that a particular view on the way Gurbani should be translated is being used by the Sevadaars. We refute this accusation and have always tried to stay impartial in the use of any English translation to the best of our knowledge.
6. For the users who are interested they can see the changes in progress by visiting the following link.

We hope that Sangat supports and helps in this reviewing process. If you have any suggestions or would like to inform the sevadaars of corrections regarding the SikhiToTheMax site please email the translation@sikhitothemax.com in the first instance, or reply to this post.
