Hello everyone!

During a discussion with one of our partners, the interest was raised about creating a ranking/recognition system to reward translators’ and reviewers’ work (similar to a leader board) when having a huge community.

It would be highly appreciated if anyone could share a recognition system that is/was utilized in your company and provided benefits to the translators’ team.

Many thanks for reading this post, and hopefully looking forward to a reply 🙂

Cheers,  
Jacob

imo that kind of pride and status oriented motivation does not lead to the best translations. An algorithm can’t rank quality, only a board of judges could. If someone starts adding a whole bunch of fast and dirty translations that only makes work harder on the ones who take the job seriously.

I am agreed. 🕶 Also, if we can make new innovations to create a reward for Translators who committed their time and effort to project for a better world, it would be nice to present appreciation to them as well. If we can brainstorm with the community we can make it work I do believe and have faith in us.

Here are a few ideas:

- **Utilizing [Translation Activity Reports](https://help.transifex.com/en/articles/6304057-translation-cost-calculation-via-activity-report)** to understand how many words each user translated, edited and reviewed for the desired timeframe
- **Promote/Upgrade** translators who have proven to provide high-quality translations to reviewers
- Design and **implement rewards/recognition system** for translators (you mentioned digital badging as a possibility, just something you’re currently exploring)
- **Acknowledge contributors’ efforts publicly** within the community through newsletters, forums, or social media
- **Establish mentorship programs** where experienced translators can guide newer members
- **Special Projects** : Give dedicated contributors the opportunity to work on high-profile or particularly interesting projects  
**Early Access** : Offer early access to new tools, resources, or platform features
- **Impact Stories** : Share stories and testimonials about how the community’s translations are making a difference in fostering a sense of purpose and pride
