While I agree we should not allow plagiarism, and serial plagiarists really have little defense, I do think there is value added by those who translate content into different languages and they should be rewarded when they have actually performed work. Is there a way for the platform to manage this gracefully?

If you write a brilliant article in Swahili and no one reads it because, well... THEY CAN'T, and someone translates it to English where it subsequently explodes, everyone benefits from the translator's effort. We just need to be sure the original author is accredited and credited and as well, the translator get's some related amount. It is simply a matter of determining what is fair.
