+
+The Translatathon is open and anyone can participate by filling out the application form and joining the project in Crowdin.
+
+Translators collect points by suggesting translations for untranslated strings in their language in the Crowdin editor during the translation period (August 9th - August 18th).
+
+Each participants final score is determined by the number of words they have translated during the translation period and any potential multipliers they’ve collected.
+
+### Getting started
+
+The translation process takes place in the ethereum.org project in Crowdin and translators suggest their translations for untranslated strings, made up of almost all of content from the ethereum.org website.
+
+Translations are suggested directly in the online editor so there is no need to download or upload any files or deliverables. Each translated word is tracked and counted.
+
+**1) Join the project**
+
+- To start contributing, you will need to join the [ethereum.org project in Crowdin](https://crowdin.com/project/ethereum-org)
+- You will need to sign in or create an account - all that is required is an email address and password
+
+**2) Select your language**
+
+- Find your language on the list of target languages and open it by clicking on its name or flag
+- If you would like to translate into a language that isn’t available, reach out to [Ethereum.org Team](https://crowdin.com/profile/ethdotorg) on crowdin or send us an email to translations@ethereum.org and we will add new additional target languages per request
+
+**3) Open an untranslated file**
+
+- Find the first untranslated file to start translating. The folders containing the source files are based on priority - 1) Homepage, 2) Essential learning, 3) Essentials, 4) Exploring, etc. so you should start translating the first folder that contains untranslated files
+- Each file has a progress indicator showing how much of the translatable content in the file has been translated and approved… if translation progress for any file is below 100%, please translate it
+
+**4) Translate the untranslated strings**
+
+- When you open a file to translate, make sure you are only translating untranslated strings!
+- Each string has a status indicator that shows whether it’s _Translated_, _Untranslated_, or _Approved_. If a source string already has a suggested translation in your language, there is no need to translate it
+- You can also filter strings in the editor to show _Untranslated first_ or _Untranslated only_
+
+For a detailed guide to navigating and using the Crowdin online editor, we recommend all Translatathon participants to read our [How to translate](/contributing/translation-program/how-to-translate/) guide.

+
+### Prizes
+
+The total prize pool for the Translatathon is 30,000$.
+
+A detailed breakdown of prizes will be announced at the end of the application period.
+
+### Evaluation process
+
+All translations will be subject to QA and feedback, where professional linguists will evaluate submissions based on quality and accuracy.
+
+We will also be running **anti-machine translation measures**, with Crowdin providing some tools that automatically detect machine translations.
+
+While translation quality will not play a critical role in the scoring, any **participants found using machine translation** or suggesting low-quality and inaccurate translations **will be disqualified** and not eligible to compete for prizes!
+
+The evaluation period will take place between August 19th-28th and the results will be announced on the ethereum.org community call on August 29th.
+
+All translations will also be subject to a thorough review before being added to the website.
