To ensure the quality of the translations, translators may vote up or down submitted translations. As translations are voted up and down, a translator’s ranking also goes up or down. If a translation is voted below 0, the phrase will once again appear untranslated until a better translation is provided. If you vote down a translation, you may wish to add a new or better translation for the phrase. Translation managers may lock phrases to prevent further changes to a translation.
