FR with EN machinetrans, cannot edit EN strings

Post by Salvidrim »

Hi, I've run into this situation for the game Conspiracy where all the tutorial strings were obviously originally written in French and machine-translated (poorly) into English.

I'm trying to correct and review the English strings, however because BGA believes that English is always "the original language" it is not allowing me to translate (as if I was translating the FR tutorial to Hungarian or something), only allowing me to "request a change", and when I do that it brings up an error saying "You can only request a change for an already validated translation."

So... what am I doing wrong? How can I either validate-review-fix the obvious English machine-translation or request it changes to corrected strings?

Thanks in advance for the guidance,

There is something wrong here, some of these strings don't have a translation, which should not happen (normally the English text is the source text in the game code - whatever its qualities, it's always the original text from a process point of view - and should always be present and validated).

Thanks for reporting this, I'll need to investigate.

I remember posting a bug report about this issue: https://boardgamearena.com/bug?id=40616

Oh those strings are from the tutorial? Ok I had read too fast and thought those were strings from the game.
Indeed, I haven't had time to work on translations for tutorials, that's still something to find time for.
