 **How points work**
 
 Every Translatathon participant will earn points towards their final score by translating content in the ethereum.org Crowdin project and other eligible projects (the full list of eligible projects is available below).
 
 The scoring is simple: **1 translated word = 1 point**
 
-Please note that in order to receive your final points allocation, your suggested translations will need to pass the evaluation process, where professional reviewers will check each participant's translations to ensure they meet the minimum quality threshold and no machine or AI translations were used in the process.
