After using it for a while I have one suggestion (if it's not too late). In translator mode, the 'needs review' checkbutton will be checked if you *write* a suggestion, but not if you copy the English message or an existing suggestion and edit it. In my opinion it would be better to always check the 'needs review' button in translator mode - it's a more consistent behaviour (so you have to think less), and you are 100% sure that you cannot overwrite or delete something by accident. Are there others who have an opinion on this? Best regards Ask </pre> </blockquote> Hello Ask, Having read the explanation: <ul> <li> Reviewer: This is the default working mode. All changes you make are approved automatically. If you want to make a suggestion, rather than a new translation, you need to manually select the Someone needs to review this translation check-box. </li> <li> Translator: When entering new translations, they're treated as suggestions that someone else needs to review. You can make a direct translation by deselecting the Someone needs to review this translation check-box.</li> </ul> I come to the following conclusion: only once in a while do I use the Someone needs to review this translation check-box. This was the case in the old situation and is the same in Reviewer mode. Personally I cannot find a reason to choose the translator mode. Why would I want all my translations to be reviewed by other members of our translation team? In the old situation people who did not have full translation/review rights could only make suggestions which were reviewed by translators with full rights. I understand that, in the new situation, they can only use the translator mode and are unable to deselect the Someone needs to review this translation check-box. Am I right? Hannie </body> </html>
