Hey @imrulo.eth ! Thank you for your contribution.
I will comment on your post since I am the author of the thread you are linking to.
I was indeed paid $700 to translate the ENS app. It was a flat payment, and there was no rate used to calculate it. It was also the first translation initiative for the DAO, and one of the first initiatives in general, so the working groups had not yet formed any structured approach.
However, after the grant was paid, I was asked to do a word count to figure out rates. It turned out that I was paid 80 cents per word translated, which is of course an inappropriate number if you are using a rate rather than paying a flat grant.
Further, the rate of 80 cents/word was never used, despite this post:
After that we discussed the rate again personally with the working group and came to the conclusion that 0.80 USDC/word is much higher than the market, which was then around 10 cents per word.
So, the final rate was decided to be something in the region of 0.18-0.22$, since the translation of ENS app/docs was burdened by the technical and contextual nature and was then used in all translation initiatives in DAO. @estmcmxci correct me if I’m wrong.
