Bitstamp is offering a program for 0% commissions on fees:

https://www.bitstamp.net/article/help-translating-bitstamp-you-local-language/

I have a high volume account on their exchange, so I would benefit a lot from zero percent fees. In fact, it's worth enough to me that I'm willing to pay 1BTC for every 2 week's worth of 0% fees you can earn for me.

That equates to 200 translations, where each is a small phrase or single word, up to a few sentences.

I will send you 50% payment as soon as I verify that your translations are complete, and the other 50% as soon as Bitstamp credits the additional 0% fee week on our account (any delays on this are beyond my control).

If you're interested, PM me with your language(s) of expertise. Do not just start working on crowdin! I have to give you access to my crowdin account to do the work through in order for credit to go to the right place.

The list of languages in need of translation can be found here:

Thanks.


update: round 1 completed on Sunday July 21. You did about 2600 translations and we paid 26 BTC to 6 different translators. Woot! I am considering a second round, however we may only be able to pay half the previous rate, or 1 BTC for 200 translations.

All right folks, here we go with round 2!

Rate: 1 BTC per 200 "translations for export" as defined on the crowdin.net site. 50% payout when the work is done, 50% when Bitstamp verifies and accepts the translations.

How to get started: PM me to get credentials for my crowdin account. Include the language(s) you want to translate.

Quality matters. Please only translate languages for which you have expertise. If I or Bitstamp discover that you are using crappy machine translations, I will not pay you and do my best to publicly ostracize you as well :).

Schedule: We will work until this Sunday, July 28th at midnight UTC.

I could do Portuguese, is that already translated?

Yes it is, though there's more work to verify the translation. I haven't yet determined whether Bitstamp will pay for the verification / voting work though. I will post here if I find out.

How does this free trading work? If I have a normal account (not high volume), how much can I get from this? How does it work?

Let me know if they pay for verification (Spanish and Portuguese). I can also do Vietnamese if I have time.

I will translate afrikaans  :)

There's nothing special about a high volume account. I just do a lot of trading, so I pay a lot of fees. You have to calculate how much you spend in fees to know how much 0% for a week is worth to you.

Sadly it looks like the answer is no, they don't pay for verification.

Looks like they don't pay for verification. Let me know if you can do Vietnamese.

We finished round 1 on Sunday, with about 2600 translations and 26 BTC paid out.

I would potentially like to do another round, however I may only be able to pay about half the previous rate. So the new rate would be 1 BTC per 200 translations. It would be great to know if you all are still interested at that lower rate.

i can translate Chinese ;D

i can do some Dutch translations if you want :)

I can do English to french.

Contact me thru PM to work things with me.

What about English? 30%?  ;D How does this work?

Wish I knew exactly what the scoop was with that one. Maybe it's for proofreading their English? I'm still not sure if they credit anything for that.

Ah, so this is done again. I'll continue on with Dutch then if there's still any need.

All right folks, here we go with round 2!

I'd like to join in.  I have some expertise in several romance languages.  However, what's up with the 'english 30%'.  Translate from what into English?

I made a crowdin account 'tsp'

French is 99% done already :/

Can do a English <-> Portuguese work, if still needed.

I have finished about 500 strings, got paid well  :)


Legit business here

I can do spanish or english, need either?

Portuguese is already done.

I have somebody working on spanish and it's already 95% done, so I doubt I will need it.

English is a funny one. If you want to do it, there are two requirements:
1. You must be a native English speaker. The only reason I can think Bitstamp would want to do this is to proofread their non-native English.
2. You must be willing to work on "spec" (i.e. speculation). That means 0% up front, and you may not get paid at all. I'm not sure if Bitstamp is going to accept the English translations. If they do, however, you will get paid next week when final payments go out.

Please also note that final payments for all translators won't be sent until a couple days after we finish on Sunday. Probably around Tuesday, but it all depends on how long it takes Bitstamp to accept and credit the account.

Hahah, Thanks for saying, but I did saw after.

I do think it needs some second verification as I looked fast and I am not sure of some translation. I can't help for other languages thought!

Yeah I think a good chunk of their translations need attention. You can get some credit for corrections I believe, though I don't know exactly how it is determined which corrections are accepted.

i can do simplified chinese.

It will count as a translation, and will be used if the corrected one is voted more on then the wrong one.

Paid as promised.

Hope to to deal with qxzn again in the future.
