## Top Translation Reviewers
-These users are the **Top Translation Reviewers**. 🕵️
+Currently, translations are done using AI tools, steered by the FastAPI team and native speakers.
-Translation reviewers have the **power to approve translations** of the documentation. Without them, there wouldn't be documentation in several other languages.
+At some point, FastAPI had some documentation pages that community members translated into other languages by hand.

## About the data - technical details
-The main intention of this page is to highlight the effort of the community to help others.
+The main intention of this page has been to highlight the effort of the community to help others, especially efforts that were normally less visible and, in many cases, more arduous, like helping others with questions and reviewing Pull Requests with translations.
+
+It also highlights contributions from sponsors.
+
+The data used to be calculated continuously, each month.
+
+As of July 2026, most of the work has been done by (paid) team members for quite some time.
+
+GitHub Discussions are answered mostly by team members.
+
+Most of the code changes are done by team members.
-Especially including efforts that are normally less visible, and in many cases more arduous, like helping others with questions and reviewing Pull Requests with translations.
+And translations are continuously done for the entire documentation in multiple languages, using AI tools, managed by team members.
-The data is calculated each month, you can read the [source code here](https://github.com/fastapi/fastapi/blob/master/scripts/).
+Additionally, in recent months, there's been an overwhelming amount of AI spam, mainly to cheat the FastAPI Experts system or to get a PR merged by any means and thereby be considered a contributor. You can read more about the point of view in [Automated Code and AI](https://tiangolo.com/open-source/contributing/#automated-code-and-ai).
-Here I'm also highlighting contributions from sponsors.
+Because of this, the data for the FastAPI Experts, Top Contributors, and Top Translation Reviewers is no longer continuously updated.
-I also reserve the right to update the algorithm, sections, thresholds, etc (just in case 🤷).
+This section is currently kept as a tribute to the humans that helped shape what FastAPI is today. 🙌
