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

[Manfred Karrer]

@BravoIndia Thanks for your input and discussion!
Re partial translations:
Languages will be usually only added if they are at least to a high degree completed. We could also add languages with lower completion grade but IMO it lowers impression of quality of you see some words translated and some not. 
We have plenty of uncompleted languages and some might never get completed and therefor never will produce value for Bisq. I am not super strong against adding partially completed (at least > 50%) languages as it might create incentives for those using the language to help t complete it and if we do that then that restriction would be released anyway. 

Beside that to have a translation for a certain market is just a small (though important) aspect for Bisq's market presence. Having local people for promotion and market makers is required as well to get some volume. Beside that is the rather complicate topic of arbitrators for those markets (that's another topic though - the current arbitration system is not ready to be opened). 

We have to see translation work in the right balance what it will add value to Bisq. To get translation of Icelandic might be nice but as they have a very high average income it will cost probably quite a lot and if we get 1 trade a month it will not pay off the costs in 10 years... So we have to think a bit from a cost/value perspective which markets we want to prioritize.

I agree that the metrics by word might be too hard to apply. Not sure what those metrics are for higher income countries and if those numbers would make it more feasible for non-professional translations to still have incentive. But to orient those metrics on the countries average wage is a good idea IMO.

I hope some contributor will take over the lead role for the transifix area and come up with some suggestion and metrics. Maybe it would be a good idea to just delay the current requests for next month and try to get those questions more discussed and answered. Maybe https://github.com/r4el can add his comment on the discussion as well?
