Success in community translation networks should be measured after novelty fades. I would ask whether accurate information continues to reach people in time, record why people withdraw, and keep governance of community translation networks light enough to preserve distributed decision-making while meeting clear safety obligations.
I share the demand for long-term evidence about accurate information reaching people in time, but community translation networks cannot depend on goodwill alone. A responsible coordinator and minimum documentation would make decisions reviewable and give participants consistent protection.
Heavy procedure would weaken the participant initiative that makes community translation networks worthwhile. A modest safety framework can coexist with distributed decision-making; the early energy around community translation networks should begin a relationship, not become the final measure of success.
The usual account of community translation networks overlooks burnout and responsibility placed on bilingual residents. Rather than applying one arrangement everywhere, I would disaggregate participation and direct extra support towards the times, places and groups carrying the greatest practical burden.
