[bisq-network/compensation] For July 2018 (#96)

[Manfred Karrer]

I think we are getting on a wrong track if we orientate translation work on past paid contributions by word count. We had just a discussion here https://github.com/bisq-network/compensation/issues/95 and the final cost by word went down to from that 2 BSQ/word to what they paid professional translators (about a few USD cents in east asia - so of course we will have different costs in diff. regions).
We also need to take care to not weaken our rule that only shipped contribution is up for compensation. What shipped means for translation is a bit blurry maybe. For me it is fine if it is a completed translation in transifex. Others might define it as shipped in a Bisq release - which might be more accurate. But I would definitely not consider translations work which was added but not completed - thus not ship-able for any upcoming release - as ready for a compensation request. If it never gets completed it will never add any value to Bisq users.

So to summarize and trying to get a bit of a guidance for follow up requests:
- Do not orientate on past requests - they might have been overpaid and we cannot afford to repeat mistakes
- Only request for at least completed languages (or shipped in a release - leave it up to other BSQ stakeholders to voice their opinion here). Partially translated languages does not add value to Bisq.
- We should find a "market rate" per word for translations to get some metrics. It seems standard in professional translation services to get paid by word count. 0.05 - 0.07 USD is mentioned in https://github.com/bisq-network/compensation/issues/95 but I am not experienced in that matter and don't know if those numbers are globally valid or region specific. Anyone who has more experience here please add more information.
