When to collect money?

Question

Machine translation from one language to another

Hello!
Started translating documentation for one open-source game engine from English into Russian.
And, accordingly, I don’t want to translate for nothing and free of charge, because this is quite hard work.
Therefore, the question is - is it possible to ask for money on crowdfunding platforms for this?
And if so, when is the best time to do it?
At the beginning, i.e. now, when the translation of the document has just begun? Or when will I translate it completely?
And how much can you ask for this work?

Answer 1

Few people need docks in Russian. All who need to have read it in English for a long time. Is it some kind of schoolboy :)
