i would suggest letting translators judge other translations. even suggest improvements with some type of trusted translators as moderators. this way you dont waste too much of the trusted translators time.
best of luck to you

It is beneficial for a translator to rate similar translators negatively, especially with languages for which very few translators exist (for example, my native language Dutch has 5 translators at the moment), which creates a new problem.
You'll probably get the best quality by letting N translators translate a certain text, and let another translator select the best match, all anonymously of course.
That's a good point. I've had some translations done through the site and needed to ask my native speaking friends if it was good quality.
For now, translators are untested as I don't have the resources to do it. There's the option of retrying the order with another translator or getting a refund.
It's the best I can do for now, and I'm keeping a close eye on any abusers/poor quality translators. There will be certainly something set up for trusted translations once the site is further on its way.
