Since I've often seen disregard of sound effects as worth the translation_request tag, sometimes merely explained in the comments rather than applied to the image, could there be a tag for those who're curious about the non-words of any given image?

Mmgh, that just tells me that the translator was lazy and didn't bother with the SFX. translation request shouldn't be changed to translated until that's done. partially translated would be more appropriate there.
Alternately, I suppose adding check translation to SFX the translator is unsure of might work.
Are you telling me that I shouldn't replace translation_request with translated until every single thump, bump, kyoro, poro and sawa is translated as well?
Consensus in forum #33891, and a couple threads previous to it iirc, was that sfx translations are nice and all but do not impact changing translation_request -> translated.
+1 for T5J8F8's suggestion.
I agree with Log (and Sol). Of course "actual" translations are more important than sound effect translations.
Yet there are cases when you just ache to know the meaning of every single kana... R0d3n7z, do you have a better idea to solve the problem? Please do not mention "comments" in your answer.
If this were to go through, would partially_translated be coupled with sfx_request (patent pending) to images where major effects have been translated but viewers are still curious about smaller effects?
And for anyone who would request repeating effects be noted too, I'd just write them off as blind and incapable of comparison.

[ This would be logical usage, yes. (Edit: retracted. see Log's post below.) ]
But to elaborate my earlier point, the trouble with a tag like sfx_request is that, similar to translation_request, once overused, it becomes nigh impossible to sift through and find the meaningful ones to tackle.

There was some discussion about possible enhancements translation_requests to in forum #10038. The goal there was to have some ordering of posts according to some notion of need/demand/difficulty, where users can "vote up" posts that they want translated, translators can mark down those not worth translating, or escalate difficult translations. The same should apply for sfx. That discussion didn't really result in anything, but if there is interest, it might be worth reviving in light of current development of Danbooru 2.

*facepalm* No, go read the other thread. Translation degree tags only refer to dialogue progress. You purge partially translated when you finish translating all dialogue so why would sfx request suddenly make it so all the dialogue isn't translated? sfx request will be it's own thing, it does not effect real translation status or progress and shouldn't.

Right, this. SFX translation is not a prerequisite for translated, though it's nice.
I'm not against sfx_request itself, but 1) I agree it will quickly become useless and 2) it shouldn't implicate any of the translation tags, not even partially_translated. It'd have to stand alone.
