The Collaborative Translation Platform™ allows content to be categorized by administrators who decide how particular content needs to be translated by its relative value. So, very important content is handled by professional translators, moderately important content is handled by your community and less important content can be handled by machine translation and translation memories. You make these decisions and the Collaborative Translation Platform handles the workflow from there!
