I signed up for the translation thing, I speak a lot of Latin, which is similar to a lot of other languages, but I had a few questions too, like will every translator get paid and or get a membership and how long do I have to do it and they haven't responded to my message recently

Totally guessing here - but I imagine they will wait for all applications to come in and then respond to those they want to after a set date, I very much doubt if they will do it bit by bit so I wouldn't be surprised if you had to wait several weeks. That's usually the way normal job applications work anyway!

Well, it is kinda funny. I offered to help them out but didn`t read the full message. Consequently, I had no idea I could even get something for it. There is a group dedicated to the internationalization. I guess they will prefer native speakers although it might be a tough job to find a single native Latin speaker. If they accept your offer Trapper4 Chess.com will become the only chess site available in this language.
