[IMPACT]
Problem statement:
- Strategic and technical information from the IOHK.IO website is important to the Cardano Community. It helps the community understand what the IOHK team has been working on and future directions. However, the language barrier has been limiting the understanding of the information of the Vietnamese community.
Most Vietnamese will read the newsletter through google's automatic translation tool. Through practice, we find that these translations are not accurate, especially technical articles.
The solution to the problem:
We cooperate with IOHK to add the Vietnamese language for iohk.io website (blog sections, news….). Whenever there is new content, we will translate it into Vietnamese and share it with IOHK to post on the website.
After being cross-checked and approved, the translated articles will be shared on major media channels in Vietnam (popular channels on telegram, Facebook, cardano2vn.io website) to attract new interested people from communities.
We are Cardanian enthusiastic who have studied Cardano and the ecosystem (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cl5yRH_7xsQ
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=axkG-UzzlVk>) . With this experience, We believe that our translation will help the Vietnamese Community clearly understand the content as well as the message IOHK wants to convey. thereby helping to build trust in Cardano
Vietnam is a country with great development potential in East Asia in terms of Information Technology and Cryptocurrency adoption - click here for the detailed report . Therefore, having accurate directional information from IOHK will help the Vietnamese community develop sustainably, in an inclusive and supportive way
Quality of translation: All translation document will be cross-checked and consult IOHK when there is a need for clarification.
Not update news on time: set an agreement with IOHK for early disclosure news to the executive team before releasing it on the website.

We counted the pages of 20 random articles between 2019 and 2022 and found that each article corresponds to average 3.74 A4 pages. Statistics are available here.
In 2021, there were 90 articles on the blogs session of iohk.io site, we estimate that there will be about 100 articles in 2022, so the total number of articles on both years is 190. and the estimated total number of pages is 190x 3.74= 710.6 pages
Based on the above information, the budget breakdown table will be as follows:
- Translation Wage: 710.6 translation pages * $19 per page=$13,501
- Project manager salary: 24 weeks x 3 hours/week*$50/hour=$3,600
- Marketing and Community salary: 24 weeks x 3 hours/week*$40/hour=$2,880
