[Feature Request] Notification of updated original content

Open mtdvlpr opened this issue 2 years ago • 4 comments

It would be really cool if you could easily spot changes made to the original files as a moderator. So for example:

I, the creator, have a json file with the following string:

{
"example": "This is an example string.",
...
}

Now, my moderators have all translated this string into their own language. Then sometime later I decide to update the string to:

{
"example": "This is my new and improved example string.",
...
}

Now, as a translator, I would like to be notified somehow that the original string has been changed since my last translation. Maybe have my translation percentage go down to 90% for example, to also show some work to be done.

@mtdvlpr Hi, thanks for submitting this. We actually had the update notifications enabled for all translators, but ended up disabling those as some users didn't want to receive them (especially translators on public OSS projects) - and we haven't gotten to making the notifications management screen yet :) However, we will probably enable notifications for those translators, who have the 'Translator' role in the project. Would that work for you?

@ilyaspiridonov, depends, what's the difference between Translators and Moderators? Will Moderators also receive those notifications?

@mtdvlpr

  • Moderators can send pull requests (translators can only submit translations for review - review requests)
  • Moderators should receive notifications whenever a translation is submitted for review in their language

If the moderator translated a particular file, and that file got updated later, that moderator should also receive the notification

That would be perfect! Thanks for the information :)
