I’m a native Spanish speaker and am happy to proof-read some sample translations.
I noted the potential of Duolingo for translating EA writings on the Facebook ‘Effective Altruists’ group a while ago, but no one suggested any specific essay or blog post. How is your project progressing?
I do not know yet which tools he uses, so maybe as he works right now it will be hard to work together.
If you still want to help with proof-reading I would recommend to contact him directly.
Thanks. I took a quick look at the Chapter 31 translation and I regret to say that the quality is not very good. It might be that the document is still at an early stage, and might improve significantly as more translators proof-check it. Currently it looks roughly like a Google Translate translation.

As it turnes out Rhaidot (https://www.fanfiction.net/u/4928277/Rhaidot) continues his work on Spanish translation. I contacted him on fanfiction.net and right now to assess usefulness of Duo translation we will look at result on Chapter 31 (https://www.duolingo.com/translation/9bdbcdf84aee1f89e3b7ba2c35065a79) From my experience of translation having bulk of text translated even if in medium quality is of great help.

I’ll contact Rhaidot later today.
By the way, I hope you are feeling better. :-)
