Omit approving translations yourself in Crowdin

Open Andrulko opened this issue 1 year ago • 9 comments

Hey,

I was very happy to see you have so high translations approval progress in the project: https://crowdin.com/project/pimple-popper

When I checked the details, I was not that happy 🥹

For example, Ukrainian is 100% translated and approved: https://crowdin.com/project/pimple-popper/uk

The approved translation is protected, even if the community will submit another, better translation it would be simply ignored because there is already an approved one. For example, here is a partially translated string that's approved by the owner: https://crowdin.com/translate/pimple-popper/48/en-uk#716

Please omit approving translations from the owner's name when translations are uploaded, it may be counter-productive. Your translators can always vote for the best translations + you can have a real proofreader in every language at later stages. Only perfect translations deserve to be approved 😉

I'd recommend canceling all approvals made by CrazyMarvin. It would be quite fast to do via multilingual view (select all strings -> remove approvals): https://crowdin.com/multilingual/pimple-popper/48?languages=fr,af,ar,ca,cs,da,fi,nl,zhcn,zhtw&filter=basic&value=3

I can help on my side but need some approval from @CrazyMarvin first
