# Community proofreaders

Your team might not have native speakers for all languages. BabelShark has a community of proofreaders who can join your project and proofread your translated strings.

To order community proofreading, go to the "Team" section of your project and select the desired languages:

## Pricing

The proofreading price is 150 translation points per 1,000 source characters. This equals USD 1.5.

"Source characters" means you pay based on the length of your original strings. Translations to different languages may be shorter or longer, but the price remains the same:

"click here" - 10 characters\
Proofreading of any language, like "klicken Sie hier" (German - 16 characters), still gets paid for 10 characters.

Other details:

* you pay **once** for each source string proofreading.\
  Even if proofreader edits a translation, you pay for the first proofreading only.
* you get a particular proofreader assigned to your project.\
  Staying in context is important for localization.

## Wallet balance

To pay for proofreading, fund your BabelShark account wallet. The wallet holds "translation points" that you can spend on proofreading your source strings.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.babelshark.net/manager/community-proofreaders.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
