I know, but how to request approve? Please donā€™t repeat. Iā€™ve ensured the update interval of crowdin bot before translating.

In fact, the old translation isnā€™t unified. And the theme shouldnā€™t as same as topic. Itā€™s unexpected break user experience

You need to be a Reviewer then you can approve translation.

I know the theme and topic has the same translation in Chinese, but it never be a wrong translation, topic is frequently using in Discourse for all user in everywhere but theme mostly for admin/staff and less be use. The old translation of topic was apply in last few years, change it to other without any announcement thatā€™s the ā€˜unexpectedā€™ what i mean.

the old translation isnā€™t unified

Not only Topic, but Watch, Flag etc. Itā€™s should be unified. Itā€™s time.
Experience canā€™t prove itā€™s true. Obviously, make them unify is right

Yeah, this problem has been talk in the Chinese Discourse Community(is closed), but we didnā€™t resolve it. And we need to talk before any important change, as you can see also other translators are working on the Chinese Translation.

Chinese Discourse Community(is closed)

Iā€™ve discussed with Scavin. Where to discuss?

I think itā€™s not applicable for my option. Experience canā€™t prove itā€™s true. Obviously, make them unify is right
