Crowdsource asks short, simple questions relevant to your language or community. Your answers help improve the quality of Google services that millions of people like you use—services like Google Translate, Google Maps, and Google Search. You can select from a variety of tasks in Crowdsource, depending on what you’re interested in and what languages you speak.
Download Crowdsource app from Play store. Open the Crowdsource app .Tap Menu > Settings > Languages. Select the languages you speak fluently—that means you can read, write, and translate to and from those languages. The tasks that appear in Crowdsource will be tailored to fit those languages. The Crowdsource Home screen lets you choose from a variety of different tasks.
You can also set up Crowdsource to work offline. The app will store a few tasks every time you’re connected to WiFi (this can be controlled in Settings). You can therefore do tasks even when you don’t have WiFi or cellular data. Your answers and contribution count are sync’ed whenever you get back on wifi.
Crowdsource includes badges for each type of task and for other achievements, such as doing tasks in multiple languages, contributing more frequently, and doing tasks while offline. You earn badges as you contribute more to Crowdsource.
Note that badges for individual tasks also track your level of contribution to that particular task.
