Weekly Overview of Translation Category - Week 17, 2019

As a Community Manager for @Utopian-io and @Davinci.witness, I will continue to write these weekly reports for the translation category. The report will include:

1. Translators' Activities
2. Moderators' Activities

In this report, I will follow the format of the other Utopian categories to provide the following information:

• Graphs of the translators' contributions
• Graphs of language teams contributions
• Charts of comparisons of the different weeks
• Graphs of moderators' scoring
• Average score of the category & comparisons
• Showcase the staff pick of the week if there is one
• Update the Translators Members List
• Upcoming Events

Summary Overview for Week 16: April 18 - 25, 2019

A. Contributions Summary

1. Translators' Contributions for This Week

This week, we have 27 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.

• Spanish team is leading with 7 contributions this week.
• Followed by Yoruba and Serbian teams with 4 contributions.
• There are no contributions from Filipino, Greek, Chinese, Dutch, Polish, Vietnamese, Slovenian, and Korean teams.

Let's cheer the German team for having 2 contributions this week.

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.

It is encouraging to see the Spanish team getting active again. They have exceeded the rule set by the Davinci team of 5 contributions/week for each team.

This week, 8 language teams have no contributions. This is the highest number of inactivity so far.

Perhaps the Davinci.witness team can re-evaluate whether there is a need to put a cap onto the translation teams anymore.

2. Total Contributions of 4 Weeks

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

Week 14: 35 contributions
Week 15: 31 contributions
Week 16: 25 contributions
Week 17: 27 contributions

Analysis:

• There is a decrease of 2 contributions this 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.
• At the bottom, you see the purple color of the Spanish team becoming active again.
• The teams that have a good amount of block of contributions: Turkish and Serbian 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: Yoruba and Serbian teams.
• The following team shows signs of getting more engaged: Spanish team.
• The following teams show signs of getting less engaged: Filipino, Chinese and Polish teams.
• The following teams show no signs of engagement: Greek and Slovenian 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 17 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 team is most active in their contributions in a consistent manner of 5 contributions each week. - Turkish and Yoruba teams are quite consistent with about 4 contributions each week.
• Spanish team is now getting more active again this week.
• Arabic and Portuguese teams are becoming more active in their contributions.
• There is little growth with the Chinese and Vietnamese teams
• There is no growth in Greek and Slovenian teams.

B. Language Moderators' Scoring - Week 17, 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 90 given by the Hebrew moderator.
• The lowest score this week is 58 given by the Spanish moderator.
• About 25% of the contributions received scores between 80 to 100
• About 30% of the contributions received scores between 70 to 80
• About 45% of the contributions received scores below 70.

This week's scoring shows that the translators are doing good work: 25% scores higher than 80.

About 45% of the contribution scores below 70. This percentage is actually too high because it shows that these translators are not meeting the minimum requirement.

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.

Last week, the average score was 77. The translation teams are still able to maintain the minimum requirement expected of them.

C. Staff Pick This Week

There is no staff pick this week.

D. Translation Teams - 107 Members List
