双语阅读|误把美元当元 苹果方面给开发者发7倍工资

发布日期:2019-09-17

Chinese developers that have worked on an iOS App development have received their payment this morning, and it's seven times higher than they expected.

负责iOS应用程序开发的中国开发者今天上午收到了他们的工资,居然比预期的要高出7倍。

Apple seems to have made a huge mistake, according to several Chinese developers. As the developers said on Weibo, they got paid this morning, seven times more than they should have.

据几位中国开发者称,苹果方面似乎犯了一个大错。正如这些开发者们在新浪微博上所说的,他们今天上午拿到的工资相当于应得报酬的7倍。

The reason for this is that, apparently, Apple has treated US dollars (USD) as renminbi (RMB).

原因很明显,苹果错把美元当作人民币发放了工资。

In the past, Apple used US dollars as a unit of measure when it settled for App developers and converted to RMB when it was settled for domestic developers. This means that all developers now have a full seven times in revenue.

过去,苹果在与应用程序开发者结算时使用美元作为计量单位,在与国内开发商结算时需要将美元转换为人民币发放。这意味着此次苹果给所有开发者发放的工资相当于以前的7倍。

In response to this matter, Sina Digital also asked some familiar developers, and they said that they had not encountered this situation.

在这个问题上,新浪数码也询问了一些熟悉的开发者,但是他们表示没有遇到过这种情况。

For Apple apps, developers can end up with 70%, while Apple accounts for 30%. It is reported that Apple will have a spending cycle for each developer, and developers usually receive software revenue from the previous month at the beginning of each month.

对于苹果的应用程序,开发人员最终可能占收益的70%,而苹果则占30%。据报道,苹果将为每位开发者制定一个支出周期,开发者通常在每月初收到前一个月的软件收入。

At the same time, Apple has a minimum amount of money for developers. When developers' app income reaches/accumulates to meet the payment requirements, Apple will often provide developers with detailed income reports.

与此同时,苹果为开发者提供的资金有最低限值,当开发者的app收入达到/累计达到支付要求时,苹果会经常向开发者提供详细的收入报告。

Apple officials have not yet responded to this call, and it is not clear how Apple will eventually deal with the misuse of US dollars for domestic developers.

苹果公司管理层尚未对此做出回应,此次为国内开发商错用美元支付工资,苹果公司最终将如何处理尚不清楚。
