Inappropriate Machine Translation

[MemeProduced]

Reproduction Steps
There are no particular steps to reproduce this issue, however, if you enable machine translations for Russian, there is a chance of an inappropriate machine translation showing up. For an instance, this is the second case of “Striptease” popping up in a translated game title.

Thank you! The game is not mine, and I can’t clear the translation unfortunately.

Since Roblox is the provider of the automatic translations, it seems like Roblox should be the instigator here. If Roblox fixes an issue with an automatically translated entry, it should be recomputed for all games that use it.

(As a one-off I understand it’s faster for the dev to do it, but I feel like the process can be automated)
