API to Add Entries to Translation Portal

Currently it is impossible to add entries to the translation portal using APIs during runtime, this supposedly used to be the case as the :Translate() API used to have info about this in its documentation, however it seems this has been changed.

I would like to either see this functionality return, or a new API be added that can add translation entries to the cloud portal during run time. This would allow me to insert randomly generated strings that would take me too long to insert on my own.

For example, in my upcoming game I have an algorithmic shop that creates random bundles based on what the player is most likely to buy based on a number of factors. Obviously I have to give these bundles a name, however there are over 400 possible different “tags” that can be combined with “Bundle” at the end, and this number could increase drastically with each update. This would simply take me too long to insert on my own. Hence the need for this API.
