Eligibility
Q: I applied to WordAds. When will it be available to me?
A: Our advertisers have a minimum traffic requirement. Once you reach the level they’re looking for, your application will be automatically sent to them for evaluation.
Q: What is the minimum traffic requirement?
A: A site generally needs thousands of pageviews each month to earn meaningful revenue.
Q: Why do I need a custom domain name?
A: We are unable to provide WordAds for sites with the default free [example].wordpress.com URL, so you’ll need to either register a new domain name or map an existing domain name to your WordPress.com blog of choice.

Yes, I saw this:
Q: What is the minimum traffic requirement?
A: A site generally needs thousands of pageviews each month to earn meaningful revenue.In order words, traffic is the only requirement? Since I’m translating other people’s work, I was afraid this would be make me ineligible.

You can use the Personal Plan, yes, but you need to add the plan first. If you add the domain first, Premium is selected automatically.
Go to My Site ->Plans and buy the Personal Plan, and then you can go back and claim your free domain at My Site ->Domains ->Add.
https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/custom-domain-89?replies=6#post-2882612How domain mapping works
Registering an underlying .wordpress.com URL first is required for domain mapping. What domain mapping does is providing a seamless redirect to the very same content under the new domain URL when a person clicks the old URL .wordpress.com to the original content. It can take up to 72 hours for domain propagation to take place throughout the internet but it doesn’t usually take that long. https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/Please go to https://wordpress.com/pricing/ to upgrade.

Yes, I just want to ask if traffic and the custom domain is the only requirement. Is it hard to get into the WordAds program?

In other words, a Moderator is going to see if they can answer my question when they are available right? Thanks for helping me, I’ll wait for their reply.

In your experience, how long do you think it takes for a Moderator to reply to a problem?
-
It will take as long as it takes them to work through every thread that was tagged for their attention prior to me tagging this one. There is no timeline because it’s impossible to know how detailed and complex the questions are in each thread.
