This FEP draft proposes translation credits for language-tagged Activity Streams objects. The metadata records who translated the text into each language and whether the translation was machine-assisted or human-reviewed. It also tracks how up to date each translation is with the source. Servers don’t have to expose their private revision history.
It grew out of Hackers’ Pub’s work on letting authors publish their own article translations.
Feedback welcome, thanks!
Looks good.

Has this FEP already been implemented in hackers.pub?
Not yet. The plan is to add vocabulary support in Fedify first (the ActivityPub library Hackers’ Pub runs on), then build the Hackers’ Pub feature on top of that once it lands.
Implementation is underway in Fedify: PR #1038. Once review wraps up and it merges, it’ll ship in Fedify 2.4.0, which is targeted for release within September.
