Sorry for the delay, due to abuse, we had to review new applications.

I am surprised to understand that there's abuse of translation. How does this happen? More than one user translates a thread?

Most common abuses are low quality translations due to Google translate abuse, where people "translating" it, are just copy-pasting the entire text into Google translate and post it 1:1 without any changes as a "translated article" for their local board.

Anyone who uses google translator or any other available translator to translate a thread verbatim ought to be banned according to the forum rules. The act of using a translator to re-write a quality thread that consumed knowledge and time to produce is fraudulent. If it is done with the intention of obtaining a fraudulent merit, I think the user deserves a tag from you (it could be a neutral tag). That is the best way to prevent abuse and maintain quality. If using a translator is what is needed, it wouldn't be a problem for you to use the translator to write your thread in different languages without the involvement of anyone.

- lazy
- greedy to obtain a fraudulent Merit
- lacking any language skills / are illiterates
(there are probably more reasons)
...
Cheesy

There are probably more reasons, but laziness and greed summarize it well. Once a user has the mindset of cheating, they automatically become mentally lazy to do things the right way.
