no rewards ?

Post by kaatjejolanda »

In 2025 were the rewards for translating almost immediatly at your account... in 2026 I translated some things, but I do not see the rewards any more?? Is there a maximum or a new delay in getting the reward?

You must wait at least 30 days for a translation to be validated.
So you won't receive any reward before it is validated.

  • The 30-Day Validation Delay: Translations are not approved—and points are not awarded—immediately. A translation must sit completely unchanged for 30 consecutive days before it is automatically validated by the system. Once those 30 days pass, the 1 gift point is credited to your account.
  • The "Last Person" Rule: If another user edits your translation (even just to fix a minor typo) before the 30 days are up, the timer resets. When the string is finally validated, only the person who made the last modification receives the point.

By the way, the 30 day delay is not new, it was always there. And if anybody modifies your translation during that time, you don't get a reward. Only the first translation that stays for at least 30 days, wins.

However, if you confirm a machine translated string, and the string is already more than 30 days old, I believe you get the reward the next day.

Is there any change in the 30 days confirmation settings?
I have a couple of games that I've translated more than 30 days ago, and no rewards were received.

This might be. I have found this bug report: https://boardgamearena.com/bug?id=248914
There HylaCrucis wrote: "This situation has likely been going on for nearly a month now. Translation validation is no longer performed daily; instead, on certain dates a large number of translations become verified in concentrated batches. This is probably unrelated to the specific text content—rather, BGA has adopted a new validation approval strategy (though it could also be a bug in the validation approval strategy)."

So we don't know if it's a bug or not.

May I suggest you to open a bug report for the BGA website with your information and post it here, so we can cumulate all cases and observe what's happening?

Today, about 11 hours ago, I got rewards for my translations. I can’t say, if it for regular 30 days old ones or for older ones. At least it shows that rewards are still being awarded (again).
