Challenges and risks relevant to a successful implementation would include another Covid variant causing lockdowns and where Master Translators cannot work for some reason due to illness.
Lack of proper terminology existing in the selected language.
<u>How does the proposer plan to deal with these difficulties?</u>
How we would deal with this challenge is that we would have many alternative Master Translators who can pick up the load of work if someone is unable to do so due to illness.
Our translators are capable of finding or if need be creating suitable terminology for use in the language for these new terms and concepts.
<u>Further Challenges and Contingencies</u>
These would include another Covid variant causing lockdowns and where translators cannot do their work due to illness.
Volatility of ADA may result in our being unable to meet our budgetary expenses due to rapid fall in value of ADA. The value of ADA may go down.
It takes a long time to convert ADA into local currency as its completely dependent on Binance's P2P marketplace. This can cause slowdowns or delays in getting LKR and thereby in the project implementation.
When currency is finally converted, prices of goods and services may be different from what we budgeted because prices have increased.
<u>How does the proposer plan to deal with these difficulties?</u>
We would have many Master translators who can pick up the work if someone is unable to do so due to illness.
One way to overcome this contingency of currency volatility is to add a contingency fund of about 10% on top of the total cost. Another option is to find a trusted network of ADA holders who want to increased their investment in ADA without going through Binance P2P marketplace.
