I am translating my english wiki article into Indonesian and Thai, and it keeps saying my translation contains 71% of unchanged text! I actually localized and edited all the english texts into respective languages, so i find this very odd. What should i do?

Thanks for the feedback @Ylee1004.

The way the current limits work is described in this page.

We plan to make improvements on how they are calculated and other aspects. Finding the right balance to prevent unedited content without getting in the way of good contributions is not easy, especially when the system has to work for many different languages with machine translation of different quality.

One way you could help us is by providing some examples of paragraphs showing (a) the source text, (b) the initial machine translation provided, (c) the text after making your modifications and (d) the percentage the system is complaining about (note that after modifying a paragraph that showed already a warning you need to focus the cursor out and inside again to recalculate). Based on that we can investigate whether the issue is on the way percentages are calculated, the limits set or something else.


Thanks!
