Ark Nova, when are new translations deployed?

The animal action card (I) reads: "If you play only 1 animal at [strength 5]..."
I either translated this card or updated/fixed it about one year ago...the German version still has the English text although it has had the correct German text for a year.

Why doesn't get the card an update?

PS I just saw there are many modifications to this entry, but none is deployed to the game.

The user Moosfrosch edited everything in January...and changed the terms.

Who is in charge of the German BGA version? Moosfrosch uses "Bedingungen" for requirements, but the previous translations of the action card were actually correct.

The German card reads "Spielst du mit [5] nur 1 Tierkarte aus, darfst du 1 Voraussetzung ignorieren." ... "Voraussetzungen" is used instead of "Bedingungen".

Should each BGA version use the actual card texts of the physical board game?

Moosfrosch claims that he used "Bedingung" instead of "Voraussetzung so it matches other cards, BUT many other cards do use "Voraussetzung" as well...sponsors etc.

In my opinion, we should use all texts of the actual physical board game. Therefore, I edited the action cards "Tiere I" and "Tiere II" again (Animals I and Animals II).

For the discussion on how to translate requirement and condition into German, please see this thread in the German sub-forum

Regarding the English text instead of the German translation
see https://boardgamearena.com/bug?id=147910

Edited: I first thought about the general translation bug, but I now think it is an individual bug for this concrete action card.

(My original text was: „ For some, tutorials and games, there exist bug reports that newly done translations are no longer go live. Maybe this is the same issue here? You refer to animal action card 1, which is displayed in English. Other animal action cards (e.g. aniaml,action card 2, see https://boardgamearena.com/gamereview?table=671055773 ) are displayed in German, but there translations are older (e.g. from Nov 2024). For the general translation issue, see viewtopic.php?t=41887 or (more details) https://boardgamearena.com/bug?id=160627 and the linked bugs in the comments of this bug report.“)
