I guess that will be too much work for you. Once the translation is ready, all you can do is forward the translation link to someone like Little Mouse or experienced users of some specific local board (I don't consider myself an expert yet) and ask them to check. I guess most users would like to help you by checking these translations. I am not saying this for our Bengali thread only. You can do the same for other local languages as well. I guess every local board/thread has some well-reputed members like LM. I guess they won't disappoint you. You can avoid the hassle just by sending a private message to them.

I'm currently doing it like this, where I'm PMing certain members from each local board to make a quick check if necessary.
Another strategy could be for local members to report abusers in our Reputation section.

Even a month ago, everything was fine. Some users saw that translation can be weaponized to earn merits to rank up easily. That's why they started translating with Google Translator. I assume they thought you wouldn't notice, as you did not have any idea about our language. The fact that they were abusing the system really disturbed some of us. I issued several warnings and reports. Some deleted their AI translation, some didn't.

If there's abuse ongoing and you have proof, feel free to open a topic in Meta / Reputation about it. I'll review your reports and if other members from your local board agree to your report, I might issue a translation ban for certain members or even leave a trust feedback.

Just like the AOBT thread, you can make another thread dedicated to those who checks the quality of a translation. To verify the authenticity of their translation. For every language, 3–4 reputed users should be sufficient, in case some are busy. You know? Like some sort of a gang. Wink

Alright, I'll try to create a topic to weed out bad translations, where everyone can contribute his 2 cents.
I've just received a bunch of new requests, so I'll list all of them in my new topic. I would start next week to create that topic and will link it here as well, of course.
Everyone would be invited as well to report bad translations from his local board as well.

I already suspect this and even criticize it on our local board. This guy will reveal their true color one day for sure. We already have some eagle eyes in the forum so what they are doing will be caught eventually one by one. I also saw how these accounts were circulating merit from one account to another. So if somehow one of them got a merit from the global board these people would earn them eight merits by circulating them through all of these eight accounts.

The problem is, that we don't want to ruin others' reputations.

If it's a bad translation and several members from your local board agree, that it's a bad translation, the translator is to blame because he didn't provide a quality translation.
So, no worry to "ruin" someone's reputation, all they need is to provide a quality translation.

I'm sure we'll find a good solution, where abusers are caught and quality translators get rewarded.
