Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Control group will receive no intervention, i.e. standard procedure. Participants in the control group will receive PLSs for translation, in the frequency they indicated, and they will not receive any reminders. They will be assigned new PLSs once they translate the ones that were previously assigned.
All PLSs will be translated in Memsource, a translation management tool that Cochrane plans to start using since March 2018 for managing translation of summaries. Participants will be followed 6 months from the moment of allocation.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Reminders
Reminders customized for each PLS, containing a name of the PLS indicated in the message. If the participants do not translate PLS within 2 months from PLS assignment, we will stop sending them reminders and we will consider them as dropouts.
Reminders
Personalized email which will aim for reminding of the translator about the PLSs on hold.

Participants in the control group will receive PLSs for translation, in the frequency they indicated, and they will not receive any reminders. They will be assigned new PLSs once they translate the ones that were previously assigned.
