This ratio depends on how many entries were on finals, and how many users voted, on each specific language pair. It is also automatically calculated by the contest system. <br /><br />So, what happened on this language pair in the last contests is that the translations did not receive enough votes for a winner to be selected. <br /><br />I assure you that ProZ.com staff works very hard to try to get all language pairs to reach this minimun voting ratio, and we will continue to do so. <br /><br />Have a nice day!
