Hi!

I hope this is not too off-topic. I simply don't know any other spanish community and this is isn't anything you can look up in the dictionary.

You know all those "rate my X" sites on the internet? Is there a single dominant translation to this? Something that is already known and comes immediatelly to your mind if you want to think about the spanish equivalent?

Ingles: this will depend on how you see the phrase, my rate can be referring to an amount in cash X or may be an issue where rate is the percentage interest rate, where X is the capital that we must apply the percentage.

Español:eso va a depender de como se vea la frase, puede ser mi tarifa refiriendose a un monto en dinero X ó puede ser un tema de porcentual donde rate es la taza de interes, donde X es el capital al que hay que aplicar el porcentual

Español: sistemas de calificación de contenidos y etiquetas de calidad de sitios web.
Ingles: content rating systems and quality labels websites.

Rate my X
Calificación de mi X

Ejemplo:

Calificación de mi perfil
Calificación de mi Imagen
Calificación de mi Persona

Igual puede ser
Puntuación de mi perfil
Puntuación de mi Imagen
Puntuación de mi persona


Example:

Rating my profile
Rating My Picture
Rating my Person

Is that what you want?

Thanks you for answering so far but I am not interested in a abstract naming. I want to know if there are sites like that in spanish and how they are named. So if I would ask for an answer in english, then I don't want "content rating system" as an answer but "ratemydog" or "ratemycar" and so on.

So the first question is ARE there such sites at all? And if there are: What project name would you choose?

I suggest:

Rate my something
Puntúa mi algo.
Califica mi algo.

The thing is that he is using infintive as imperative, so we should use imperative in Spanish.

At least in Spain, the most straight and common way to say "rate my something!" is "puntúa mi <something>!", meaning "rate" and "puntúa" in this context "to evaluate something by giving a punctuation on a scale, based on a -mostly- subjective opinion".

If you want to express that people should vote for your site, then you would use "vota" instead.

You would use "vote" or "puntúe" (ending in 'e' instead of 'a') if you intend to give it a more formal and courteous tone (for seniors or the like), depending on the public this is aimed to.
