Summary Overview for Week 24: June 6 - 13, 2019

A. Contributions Summary

1. Translators' Contributions for This Week

This week, we have 30 Contributions

In the translation category, it is important that we monitor the contributions submitted by the different language teams as translators work together in teams.

Therefore, the statistics and graphs will not show the contributions of the individual translators but will display the 19 language teams instead.

The following chart shows the distribution of contributions of the 19 different language teams.

Analysis:

From the graph, we can see that the distribution of contributions from the different language teams is looking more even. In this way, all language teams have an equal chance of getting rewarded for their translations.

Serbian team leads with 6 contributions.
Followed by Portuguese team with 5 contributions.
Then Yoruba and Turkish teams with 4 contributions each.
There are no contributions from Greek, Dutch, Polish, French, Vietnamese, Slovenian, German, Hebrew and Korean teams.

Please Note:

These graphs are created so that we can see the activity of each language team. On Feb 10th, @Davinci.witness Management team set up a new rule with a cap of 5 contributions from each language team. The reason behind this rule is to give all language teams equal chances to contribute to the translation category.
Therefore, it is important to note that the teams are not competing with each other to produce the greatest number of contributions.
Our aim is to have all language teams producing an equal amount of 5 translations consistently.

This week, Serbian team went beyond the 5 contributions, but this is according to the Utopian Thursday to Thursday count.

The Portuguese Team has become more active and consistent in their contributions.

9 language teams have no contributions. This number is quite high, so the @Davinci.witness team will re-evaluate these translation teams regarding their inactivity.

2. Total Contributions of 4 Weeks

We will compare the total contributions in the translation category for 4 weeks time period.

Week 21: 30 contributions
Week 22: 36 contributions
Week 23: 34 contributions
Week 24: 30 contributions

Analysis:

There is an decrease of 4 contributions this week.
We are still able to maintain at the level of 30 contributions per week.
The most ideal situation is to have all the color of the language teams with an equal amount of 5 contributions.
Right now, the color is still not very even.
The teams that have a good amount of block of contributions: Serbian, Turkish, Yoruba, and Spanish Teams
Some teams have a little color of blocks. We need to encourage these language teams to be more active in their contributions.

3. Four Weeks Comparisons for Each Language Team

The following table shows the number of contributions in the different language teams for 4 weeks.

Analysis:

There are 4 color bars for each language teams with each bar representing the 4 different weeks. In this way, we can get a clearer indication of which teams are getting more engaged and which teams are getting less engaged.

The following teams show signs of good engagement: Spanish, Yoruba, Serbian, Portuguese, and Turkish teams.
The following teams show signs of getting more engaged: Filipino and Arabic teams.
The following team shows signs of getting less engaged: Chinese team.
The following teams show no signs of engagement: Greek, Polish, Vietnamese, Slovenian, German, and Hebrew teams.

4. Overall Growth of Each Language Team for 4 weeks

It is important that we measure the language team activities not just by one week but to see their monthly overall performance.

The following graph shows the total number of contributions of the 19 language teams in the past 4 weeks

Analysis

From the chart, we are able to see the situation of each language team in the spread of 4 weeks.

You can see the consistencies by looking at the colors of the 4 different weeks of contribution!

Serbian, Spanish, Yoruba, Portuguese and Turkish teams are active in their contributions in a consistent manner of about 5 contributions each week.
Filipino and Arabic teams are becoming more active in their contributions.
There is little growth with the Chinese, Italian, French and Russian teams.
There is no growth in Greek, Polish, Slovenian, Vietnamese, German, and Hebrew teams.

B. Language Moderators' Scoring - Week 24, 2019

For the scoring distribution, we have 30 moderators, so I need to group the scoring into language teams so that you can see the analysis clearer in the distribution of scoring.

1. Statistics Showing Scores Given by our 30 Moderators in the Language Teams

For this week's report, I will continue to show also the following statistics requested by different people.

There are 3 columns:

A - the moderator
B - the language team
C - the scores given by the moderator

From this table, you will be able to see who the moderators are giving the scores for the language teams.

The following chart shows the distribution of scores of all the teams.

2. Chart showing the distribution of scores

The X-axis is not able to list out all the languages for each score and only able to list out the language for every other 2 scores shown.

3. Analysis

The highest score this week is 88 given by the Portuguese moderator.
The lowest score this week is 51 given by the Arabic moderator.
About 30% of the contributions received scores between 80 to 100
About 30% of the contributions received scores between 70 to 80
About 40% of the contributions received scores below 70.

This week's scoring shows that the translators are doing good work: 30% scores higher than 80.

About 40% of the contribution scores below 70. This percentage is too high. For translators scoring below 70 consistently, they need to be paused to get remedial training.

Ideally, we want every translator to score above 70 so that we have a high-quality translation in all the contributions.

4. The average score of the Contributions is 72.5.

Last week, the average score was 73. The translation teams are still able to maintain the minimum requirement expected of them.

C. Translation Teams - 108 Members List

There is no recruitment done this week.

D. Events

The Davinci-Utopian front-end is currently down. All translators and LM need to use Steempeak to set the beneficiaries (@utopian.pay 5% and @davinci.pay 10%). Please use the tags #utopian-io and #translations in your post.

@Glastar is looking for translators to form a Japanese team. If anyone is interested in translating Open Source projects, please contact @Davinci.witness team.

E. Tip of the Week

Starting this week, I will include a "tip of the week" to motivate our translators.

One of the hardest part for translators is finding fun projects to translate.

Last month, the founder @mcfarhat invited our translators to help translate the @actifit app to different languages. Actifit app is a very popular dApp that has been used by many users to keep them fit by counting their steps. Rewards are given to users reaching the minimum of 5K steps and submitting their activities. This is a fun project with many exciting weekly events. We don't' want to limit this to only English users. Come and join us to translate the @actifit app to your language in Crowdin. Many languages have not been translated yet. Let's get @actifit app go global!

That's it for this week,
Rosa

Hello, @rosatravels. Thank you for the weekly report. Good to see that the category is still doing great. However, I see some cases where some translation contribution payout without a review perhaps due to the LM not being around. Is there a way we can have this fixed in the future? What do you think about this issue?
