Error in bayonets and tomahawks Italian translation

I noticed a pretty confusing mistake in the translation page for Bayonets and Tomahawks, light was translated as luce but luce in Italian is used for luminosity and the game is not a fantasy game where we have the "forces of light". Light units are unità leggere, several strings are apparently affected by this, how can we get it corrected ? as they seem to be validated I do not seem to be able to make suggestions.
BTW the pdf translation linked on the main page looks good so is the translation abbandoned ?

Translations are automatically validated after a month so it seems nobody noticed (or neglected to do anything about) these uncorrected machine translations and the person who inserted them unfortunately got rewarded for this poor performance. You have to play the game 10x before you can correct validated translations. Once you have that many plays, it's no problem to do it though. Unfortunately I haven't played it at all and can therefore not help.

Are you sure you need to play the game to translate? I have translated many games without playing a single time

I think it's some kind of suggestion for future implementations
I translated many games without playing them beforehand, too, but I don't think putting a minimum number of played games would dramatically improve the quality of the translations.
Of course, knowing the game surely helps, but with lesser-known ones i see a high risk of not having the game translated at all.
