Translators cannot filter by Translator type (Machine/Human) in Translation Portal

Reproduction Steps

  • Choose a game that isn’t yours.
  • Click the “Translate” button.
  • Click the Filter drop down menu in the top right of the screen.

Expected Behavior
I expect everyone to be able to filter by Translator type, just like the image below.

This would be very useful for Translators to translate new content that has been auto translated by machine translations. I believe this is a bug as I don’t see any reason why it wouldn’t already be included!

Actual Behavior
As I can tell, if it’s not your game you cannot see the Translator section in the filter list, and it instead looks like this:

it has been 9 months since reported, is there an update to this?

Auto translation was turned on overnight for my game and now my translators can no longer work, because all text previously can be filtered by “untranslated” are now all in the “translated” category due to machine translations.

The only workaround is for me to use the filter on my end as an owner and paste a screenshot of all machine translated text for the translator. The translator would have to manually find the text one by one. This is a huge loss of productivity
