Maintaining the Burst Wiki is vital to maintaining a strong and knowledgeable community. To continue to remain decentralized, it is also important that we make available translations of the wiki so the technical jargon can be easily understood by non-English speakers. This bounty will be awarded to individuals that provide translations of the burst wiki in languages other than English or those already available. The reward level will be determined by the BMF and will be based on the translation quality/quantity.
