Here is the latest update:
  • We fixed reload process so it only refreshes the comment area. This prevents losing any unsaved text during the refresh.
  • We corrected the bug affecting the "é" character to ensure proper display.
  • We re-enabled the warning popup that informs users when a modification is not allowed.

Hello, I just created this bug report about the translation modules not being really classified following the alphabetical order
https://boardgamearena.com/bug?id=226668

Example (on the first page, with the website being in French, 3 games are randomly put with the games beginning with "A" :
Abalone
La Fin des Artichauts
Abra Chadabra
Abyss
A.E.R.O.
After Us
Agent Avenue
Age of Champagne
Age of Civilization
Age of Innovation
A Gest of Robin Hood
Agricola
Ahoy
Àiyé
Éruption
Nil
Akropolis
Alakablast
Alchimistes

By the way, thanks a lot for having corrected the 3 points you just mentioned :D

It is still there. Just open the dropdown for the „Show“ filter, select „Translated by“ and then enter the username you want to search for.
Thank you! "Translated by" string was translated to my language as "Translated", so I couldn't find it :)

Drop-down list that appear when you type name of translator in "translated by" option is positioned so badly that it hides cell where you type name. Is it only my browser or general?

A new proposal, for a very tiny and easy interface update :

When I click on "Update translation comment", could it be immediately possible to write the comment, instead of having to Click on the text area before typing the comment, please ?

Focused input (textarea) on modal that only has that input and serves single purpose is a must in UI/UX, but in my humble opinion, even better solution would be an input for comment, always visible below the translation (no additional modal needed because modal that takes multiple clicks takes the translator out of context hiding the text that is the object of commenting and interrupts mental focus), with the latest comment already visible (empty if there is no previous comment). This would also prevent current annoying behavior of page jumping because a new button "Update translation comment" appears after every new translation typed in.

Brilliant answer, thanks! :)

In addition to that, in the "Translated by" search text area, could it be possible that ONLY players who have once translated at least one text would be suggested? Having the entire list of all BGA players (who for their vast majority never translated anything) makes it harder to find the player we're focused on, or interesting in seeing his/her translations.
(or ONLY players who have once translated at least one text IN THIS MODULE: that would also help decrease the list of suggested players.)

(This was already the case with the old translation interface, but since there were recent impressive changes, this could be included as well as a future improvement)
