For the translations...just translate what I have in my post into a different language. It's just meant more for people who actual speak the other language versus just being run through a translate program.
Take one of my guide/faq posts, translate it and make your own Steemit post with it. This way they can help out non-english speakers on here. You get to keep all of the posts payouts. All I ask is for a link to the original post be included in the translated post.
Did that answer your questions or did that just make it more confusing? (I need more coffee, lol)
