Please keep the old translation when the original text changes

I have been doing translation with the beta game Maracaibo, and found that the original English text will change from time to time. Once that happens, the previous translation will be gone and my effort (as well as gift point but that is not important) is wasted. Would it be possible that the system keeps the previous translated text and mark it as "need to be revised as the original text has changed"?

I don't think it is possible, or this would be so annoying for the developer.
The system can't know which old translations match the new ones, so this should be to the developer to associated them.

I agree with Infinity25 about this problem of "lost translations" and that a reasonable solution is necessary. See also the discussion here: https://boardgamearena.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=32685

I just lost 13 full pages of translations that were made in one day.
