# Linguo

> Kleros Linguo documentation: retired decentralized translation marketplace with escrow payments and Kleros Court dispute resolution for quality challenges.

# Linguo (Retired)

<Warning>
  Linguo has been retired and is no longer actively maintained.
</Warning>

**Kleros Linguo** was a decentralized translation marketplace where translation requesters could post jobs, translators could claim and complete them, and quality disputes were resolved by Kleros Court.

The platform used an escrow mechanism: payment was locked when a translation task was created and released to the translator upon completion. If the requester or a third-party challenger disputed the translation quality, Kleros jurors with language expertise would evaluate the work.

## Why It Was Retired

* Niche user base made sustained growth difficult
* High Ethereum gas costs made small translation jobs uneconomical
* Development resources redirected to core products with broader adoption
