I was looking to the right of my perlmonk screen and it said "You have bla bla bla points until level 11 - Chaplain" and I though : " Uh ? What's a Chaplain ? I think it's great to be an Hermit ! I don't want to be a Chaplain, I don't event know what a Chaplain is ! What about a Curate ? " So I fired up the dictionaries and checked for the meanings in my my own language . For all you francophones out there (you know who you are ;) here's what it means !

Now I have to admit that I'm not the religious type and that the difference between a Canon and a Deacon is not any clearer in French than it is in English ... But for some levels (like Chaplain) it makes sense, and some other are just plain funny ...! The clerical terms are not really bijective as some could be translated different ways but i chose the one that felt logical (or was translated that way in most of the dictionaries)... So, how does it translate in your own language ?

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
