Hi Klaibson, Well that's a really low amount - I'd first question whether someone would dedicate hundreds of hours (or thousands) for such a small amount of money. In particular, if you're thinking of having it translated into multiple languages where each individual translator might get a couple hundred dollars (I've been quoted as much as $100/hr to professionally translate work in the past).
I still think it'd be an uphill battle to get funding. Here's an additional option: https://www.documentfoundation.org/foundation/grant-request/ You can request a grant to fund translation. I'd suggest first talking to people about the real cost of translating (what they would contractually commit themselves to). Then you can write up a grant and say you already have someone lined up to translate the material and the cost that they quote. I think that this might be more feasible than doing crowdfunding.
