Once sent, your first translation is not put online straight away. It is submitted for validation by the translators’ community.
A member of the community will review it, might make some changes, validate it or refuse it.
If your translation has been validated it will be put online. The member of the community who has validated it will then decide on whether or not you can enter the community. An email will then be sent to you to let you know of your admission or the rejection of your entry to the community. Any rejection will be explained in the email: poor translation (incorrect meaning, serious errors, etc.), distortion of the topic, illegal subject matter, etc.
If your first translation has been rejected despite your good faith and effort, do not get discouraged. A second attempt might allow you to gain access into the community of translators.
3. You are a member of the community of translators
You can translate as well as validate the translations of surfers who are not members of the community, and to allow such surfers into the community. You can translate 7 billion Others content, participatory content and the website’s interface. You can check and validate translations provided by surfers.

You have access to your translation history. You are thus informed about any changes made to your translations by another member of the community.
Any of your translations can be changed by members of the community.
b. Validation of translations by surfers
You will receive all the initial translations of a surfer in the languages you entered when setting up your account.
You can correct them – if necessary – and validate them so they can go online. You can then decide to allow the surfer into the community of translators.
You can delete a translation you deem to be “bad”, namely which has incorrect meaning or serious errors, or in which the topics have been distorted or cause harm to human dignity.
The aim is to create a very large, dynamic community, so do not be too severe. Only reject people who are likely to cause harm to the project. Do not forget that any given translation can be corrected and tinkered with forever.
c. Translation alerts
Anyone, whether an account holder or not, can issue an alert about translation content.
As a member of the translators’ community, you have access via your account to all the translation alerts, which are accompanied by the reasons for the alert.
The translation may be taken offline or not, depending upon the severity of the alert. There are three types of alert:
- Spelling and grammar errors
- Translation errors

If a translation alert says that the subject has been distorted, it is immediately taken offline and is submitted to the community of translators. It is up to you to check and correct it, put it back online or delete it.
d. Translation of the website interface
You can translate all or part of the website interface into the language of your choice. You can use two reference languages.
4. Editorial Guidelines
Translators, you undertake to respect a person’s ideas and not to distort them. We ask you to encourage a dynamic interaction within the community and to remain flexible in validating new translations you receive from surfers.

3. MODERATORS’ CHARTER
What is a moderator?
The “6 billion Others” website is a project with universal scope. We want to create the largest possible community of surfers, so that people from the four corners of the earth will provide testimony, share their experiences, thoughts, beliefs, and that these testimonies will be translated into a large number of languages.
We do not want this site - where you can speak freely - to become a place for illegal expressions, which is why we are counting on a community of moderators who will monitor the text and video content that is put online. This website must remain a place where you can speak freely, while never causing any harm to anyone else.
Every surfer, whether or not an account holder, may issue an alert regarding any content in the participatory section, that he or she deems inappropriate.
By becoming a moderator you will have access to content on which alerts have been issued: it is for you to decide if the content deserves to be permanently deleted from the site, or deserves to be put back online.
Content that has no place here would be text or a video clip that does not comply with the editorial charter (a video that shows someone other than yourself, does not answer any questions posted on the website, etc.), a text or video containing defamatory, harmful, off-subject, racist or discriminatory ideas, that is harmful to human dignity, is commercial or pornographic in nature, etc.
To become a moderator you must first of all set up an account.
1. Creating an account

2. Moderating
All content on alert is accessible via your account. Surfers, whether or not account holders, can put an alert on content that they deem to be defamatory, harmful, off-subject, racist, discriminatory, or is commercial or pornographic in nature, etc.
It is up to you to monitor and delete such content. You may also decide to put such content back online if you believe the alert was excessive. The deletion of content must be justified. Do not forget that this is a website that encourages free speech as long as this does not cause harm to others. Please remain objective.
3. Editorial Guidelines
Moderators must stay impartial, respect others, their identities, opinions and beliefs.
Use maximum objectivity and total impartiality when acting as a moderator. Do not take any decision based on personal considerations that are foreign to the spirit of the 7 billion Others project.
Only delete videos or texts if what is said is off-topic or likely to cause embarrassment or insult to someone.
The GoodPlanet Association may remove your account if it believes that you are fulfilling your role in an abusive or excessive manner, or if it feels that your work as moderator is not in line with the spirit of the project.

Every surfer, whether or not an account holder, may issue an alert regarding any content in the participatory section, that he or she deems inappropriate.
By becoming a moderator you will have access to content on which alerts have been issued: it is for you to decide if the content deserves to be permanently deleted from the site, or deserves to be put back online.
Content that has no place here would be text or a video clip that does not comply with the editorial charter (a video that shows someone other than yourself, does not answer any questions posted on the website, etc.), a text or video containing defamatory, harmful, off-subject, racist or discriminatory ideas, that is harmful to human dignity, is commercial or pornographic in nature, etc.
To become a moderator you must first of all set up an account.
