Continuing the discussion from [Androids can’t use RTE, i-devices can’t change mode of the composer](https://meta.discourse.org/t/androids-can-t-use-rte-i-devices-can-t-change-mode-of-the-composer/412094/11):

I was lazy and I wrote in Finnish, because we have AI translations. For some reasons it didn’t translate very first sentence — right translation would be something like _what a task it was_.
But is there something I could or should do to fix that? The first panic reaction was to delete that untranslated sentence from original, but translations didn’t follow edit (English anyway, others I didn’t check).

I think you should be able to edit translations (I am not 100% sure about the permissions here on Meta)
Below your post in the post menu after clicking … there is a translations button for me
Are you able to see that too?
There you can look at the current translations and then edit them manually.

Quite many translations to edit 🤔

How do you know? You said you only checked English
You/ other users can also flag inaccurate translations

I was expexting that AI will translate similar way every languages.
But I just checked and I might should wait a bit longer. Now that untranslated and then removed sentence has disappeared from (English) translations too.

Yes, it takes a moment for changes to be reflected in the translations. This is to prevent translations from being updated too often. However, users will then see a note indicating that the translation may be out of date.

I wouldn’t be sure about that. A recent example that comes to my mind were the translations of the #boards tag here on Meta. You can see that in most languages the translation of the tag is also part of the translation of the description of the tag - and then there is German where the description uses “Boards” and the tag seems to be about wood 🤷♀️
