One guy from the community got 40merit from 1miau by translating 3 of his topics in a week. Some newbies noticed this and started doing translation right away by using google translation. I cannot blame them as they are seeing that if someone can get 40 merit that easily then why don't we try this?
Since I have obviously been mentioned here to give out a fraudulent Merit (maybe the meaning of your statement is a bit off due to being lost in translation), I can tell you that for each translator of each language, I have requested a proofreading of established native speakers to make sure that these translations are not Google translate spam.
If a translator is proven to be a Google translate spammer, I won't give out a substantial amount of Merit and I would reject all subsequent translation requests.
For some translations I have requested an improvement until they were acceptable.
The problem of your Bengali local section are not constructive members translating interesting content, the flawed forum layout is the issue here.
So, it's better complain about the lazy forum development (like your OP does) because a proper Bengali board will solve the entire issue of long translations, which are currently being placed in a single thread.
This is no issue at all in "real" local boards.
I'm wondering anyways why it's so difficult for the forum developers to establish proper local boards. But after wasting more than 2,000,000 USD on the new forum software, I'm not really wondering about anything anymore here.
It sounds illogical to ask for a Bengali sub board for Bengali translation and press release because we don't have any local boards yet. But the way the Bengali board is hammered with translated topics and news source posts, it looks like spamming to many of us.

It's enough to have Bengali local sub-boards for:
- Bitcoin discussion
- Bitcoin (price) speculation
- Beginners and Help
- Altcoins
- Mining
- Service discussion
- ...
Each translation would be posted where it's suited best.
