On the contests page, there is a grey text inviting me to begin my translation here and a list informing me that there are so and so much entries for different languages.
What I wonder about is how to enter a translation or view entered translations of others. I don't find any link taking me to either a form to enter a translation or a page with translations. Any help available?

Hi Matthias,
You can't view entries until the end of the submission stage - for good reasons, probably, as preparing one's own translation after reviewing other translators' attempts can hardly be regarded as fair! 
Cheers,
Oleg

I don't want to submit an own translation, because there are no source texts for my language pairs. I was just interested in the translations.
Is the reason that I am not allowed to submit a translation that I do not work with the souce languages of the contest? If it is so, I do not understand why I cannot see the translations. It does not make sense to deactivate both the link for entering translations and for displaying others' translations.
Kind regards
Matthias

...theoretically, a translator who doesn't work in some pair but can view translations already submitted in this pair while the submission phase is underway, might share his or her knowledge with someone who can gain from it

I do not think it would be easy to copy from others' translations without anyone else noticing it.
Anyway. The disappointing thing about it is that it is not possible to participate just for fun in any other language pair when your own combinations are so exotic that you are nearly the only one interested in the contest.
Kind regards
Matthias

Dear Matthias Quaschning-Kirsch,
Please, don't be disappointed. We are working on increasing the number of source texts available in every new contest.
The source texts presented are proposed by the community and I'm positive there will be at least one source text in your language combinations in the upcoming contests.
Those interested in proposing a source text in a given language for an upcoming contest can contact me . I'll send you the guidelines for selecting a suitable source text and a list of upcoming themes.
Thanks for your interest.
Romina
