Hi @shirapashu, thanks for sharing the update, the new content and tools look great!
I noticed the pt-BR version seems to rely on automatic translation, which introduces inconsistencies and could impact understanding of the processes for editors and partners.
Is there any plan to release these strings in Transifex so the community can provide better translations? We’d be happy to help ensure clarity and consistency across languages.
No, I mean the written content across the course topics themselves.
Some parts don’t seem to be coming from Transifex and look like automatic translations, which leads to inconsistencies with the terminology we use in WME.
For example, “Closures” is translated as “Fechamentos” instead of “Interdições”, which is the established term used by the community and in all Waze platforms. This creates confusion for both editors and partners and hurts the overall learning experience.
