Translations not validated, modified...

[JudgeWhyMe]

Hello

I have some translations since september the 15th, and they are still not validated today, is it normal?

Also, I can see that some people modified the translations I made, and they are not correct.

Why is that? How can I prevent that?

Thanks

Translations get validated, if they are unchanged for 30 days. Translations from Sep 15th will get validated on October 15th, if nobody edited them. See: https://boardgamearena.com/faq?anchor=f ... gcanchange

Translations are a community feature, so you can’t prevent others from changing your translations. You could contact the user and ask him/her, why he/she thinks, that his/her translation fits better. If you think, the changes are vandalism, you can report the user to the moderators.

Hello, I've reported a "suggestion" for the same thing.

I notice that many translation I've made (and I'm not the only one in this case) have been validated by "Board Game Arena" account, with no modification. But we don't have a "gift" for the translation this way. I think it's a little unfair

I notice that many translation I've made (and I'm not the only one in this case) have been validated by "Board Game Arena" account, with no modification.

All these translations have the same timestamp („2025-09-30 08:58:38“). I compared just some of them: some texts by BGA are the same as the text from the previous translator, but some have different texts and some even do not have any other translator than BGA (which means that BGA did not just validate existing texts, but added own ones.). And when you look at the timestamps of the previous translations, it is less than 30 days between the previous and the BGA translation, so it was not the normal auto-validation.

Could it be, that BGA has imported official translations (that were provided by the publisher of the game)?

I hadn't notice that and it seems weird ^^
But after spending several hours on the translations, It's just a bit frustrating
