Expected Behavior
Manual translation is NEVER overwritten by automatic translation.
Actual Behavior
Automatic translation decided to overwrite nearly ALL of my experience’s manual translation. As an added bonus, it used half of my monthly automated translation quota.
I have “Automatic Text Capture” off and I don’t upload tables manually, so if there’s any malformed strings that caused this, it was something caused via the translation website.

Hey all, we’ve fixed the bug that caused this issue and corrected the translations. We are currently in the process of resetting the quotas of all affected experiences. Thank you for your patience.
Please let us know if you’re seeing the proper translations.
Can you double-check and let me know if your quota has been replenished? I’m taking a deep dive through your localization table and fixing some more strings that were overriden with automatic translations. We made an initial run-through that fixed a good chunk of the translations that had been automatically overriden, but we found some more that still need to be fixed.
Our fix should not have wiped localization history for manual strings (translation history cannot be overriden); can you send screenshots of some of the strings where you’re seeing that issue? I’ll take a look into that as well.
If anybody else is still seeing manual translations that are overriden with automatic strings, please reply below with a link to your universe and we’ll prioritize fixing the translations and recrediting lost quota ASAP. Much thanks to everybody for their patience, and our apologies for the mishap.
My monthly quota is still half full, but it looks like it gave me more room on my initial quota though. So I think that’s essentially replenished.
It’s possible that we may be mistaken; however, the localizers say that these strings feel like they would’ve manually translated them from how the automated tone has handled them:
Hey there,
this issue is still going on at ER:LC, is there an estimated time for it to come to a fix?
There are around 2,000+ strings, and 3 languages, we are unable to copy-paste as we do not have that amount of time.
If it helps make it any easier, our localizers have had a translation freeze since 8/28. If rolling back to 8/26 or even slightly before is possible, we’d gladly take it.
Can you double-check your localization table now? We ran a custom migration script on your localization table which should have undone the AT overwrites on your table.
Can you also double-check your localization table? We ran a custom migration script on your localization table which should have undone the AT overwrites on your table as well.
