Unconfirmed machine translations should not be used in games

Post by fruktansvärt »

When a string is machine translated, it is used in games (and on the website) after the daily translation update. While machine translations are often really useful, sometimes they are catastrophically wrong.

It would be good if unconfirmed machine translations (blue background) stayed hidden until a human has confirmed them (green background) – the original English string should be visible instead.

Please vote for this suggestion if you agree: https://boardgamearena.com/bug?id=79132

If this suggestion is implemented, more games could be slated for machine translation (in my language only the most popular and the newest games get machine translated), which would possibly result in more games getting properly translated faster.
