Here\u2019s how it went.<\/p>\n<p class=\"chakra-text css-gi02ar\"><strong>What is a Translatathon?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"chakra-text css-gi02ar\">A Translatathon is a translation competition, similar to a hackathon.<\/p>\n<p class=\"chakra-text css-gi02ar\">Participating in a Translatathon requires no coding skills or a technical background. Everyone who is bilingual and has some basic knowledge about Ethereum can participate.<\/p>\n<p class=\"chakra-text css-gi02ar\">It is also an event that allows participants to learn about Ethereum by translating the website content whilst helping us make this content more accessible and competing for prizes at the same time!<\/p>\n<p class=\"chakra-text css-gi02ar\">Here is a brief overview of how the ethereum.org Translatathon was organized:<\/p>\n<ul role=\"list\" class=\"css-1ars4k6\">\n<li class=\"css-0\">2-week application period\n<ul role=\"list\" class=\"css-1ars4k6\">\n<li class=\"css-0\">Participants applying and forming teams<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"css-0\">1-week translation period\n<ul role=\"list\" class=\"css-1ars4k6\">\n<li class=\"css-0\">Participants translating content in the <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"chakra-link css-vezwxf\" href=\"https:\/\/crowdin.com\/project\/ethereum-org\">ethereum.org project in Crowdin<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"css-0\">Competing against each other in two categories: <em class=\"chakra-text css-0\">Teams<\/em> and <em class=\"chakra-text css-0\">Individuals<\/em><\/li>\n<li class=\"css-0\">Machine translation was forbidden!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"css-0\">1-week evaluation and QA period\n<ul role=\"list\" class=\"css-1ars4k6\">\n<li class=\"css-0\">All participants were evaluated and given a score for their translations<\/li>\n<li class=\"css-0\">Winners were determined based on their <em class=\"chakra-text css-0\">total number of translated words<\/em> multiplied by their <em class=\"chakra-text css-0\">multiplier score<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"chakra-text css-gi02ar\">If you\u2019re interested in learning more, full details are available on the <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"chakra-link css-vezwxf\" href=\"https:\/\/ethereum.org\/en\/contributing\/translation-program\/translatathon\/\">Translatathon page<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"chakra-text css-gi02ar\"><strong>How did it go?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"chakra-text css-gi02ar\">In total, the Translatathon received 621 applications, and during the translation period, 217 participants translated into 56 different languages.<\/p>\n<p class=\"chakra-text css-gi02ar\">The total amount of translated content during the competition was 1.47 million words, making August by far the most productive month for the Translation program yet (previous best: 497k words).<\/p>\n<p class=\"chakra-text css-gi02ar\">The amount of content translated during the 1-week translation period is equivalent to ~50% of all content translated in the program through all of 2022.<\/p>\n<p class=\"chakra-text css-gi02ar\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Translation activity during the past 12 months\" src=\"https:\/\/hackmd.io\/_uploads\/SJU0JwvCh.png\" class=\"chakra-image css-hw6q2r\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"chakra-text css-gi02ar\">Looking at the goals we wanted to achieve with the Translatathon:<\/p>\n<p class=\"chakra-text css-gi02ar\"><em class=\"chakra-text css-0\">Raise awareness about the importance of localizing content<\/em> &#8211; this is impossible to measure and a never-ending process, but we have heard from individuals, interested in participating in similar initiatives, and some projects, looking to start or improve their localization processes<\/p>\n<p class=\"chakra-text css-gi02ar\"><em class=\"chakra-text css-0\">Onboard new contributors to the program<\/em> &#8211; throughout the month, a total of 486 new members joined the <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"chakra-link css-vezwxf\" href=\"https:\/\/crowdin.com\/project\/ethereum-org\">ethereum.org project in Crowdin<\/a>, with many participants and prize winners being new contributors<\/p>\n<p class=\"chakra-text css-gi02ar\"><em class=\"chakra-text css-0\">Incentivizing translations into less active languages<\/em> &#8211; participants translated into 56 different languages, including 7 new languages the website is not available in yet.
