They say that everything repeats itself in the world. I also remember the words of The Sceptical Chymist that if something can be misapplied on the forum, there will always be those who will do it.

The Russian section also had a topic on translations. The same struggle was going on there; merits were given for translations, and many suddenly became translators, thereby quickly rising in rank.
 Similarly, there were accusations that someone used Google Translate. You can look at the topic; the hunt for merit is always obvious.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3251187.3240 There were a lot of misunderstandings about translations.

 I think GazetaBitcoin has a good understanding of who can translate correctly and who is just looking for a good translator to avoid detection.
