Are community translations actually reviewed/accepted?
I've started translating YouTrack via Crowdin in my free item just for the sake of being able to use the software at work in my native language as well as helping the rest of the team to use it, but I've seen just now that no single string has been approved in 2/3 years or so… (https://jetbrains.crowdin.com/u/projects/139/reports/top_members and add winning to the filter)
What is the point of making the platform available if you don't review or accept any of them?
If you want to see my profile you can find me as @pippo-san or in the recent Italian translations or activity.
edit: I may have misinterpreted the data on the top members table, I've seen some of them being accepted last year. I would still like to know how much time usually takes to review any of them…

We regularly review and approve suggestions for all languages that meet the minimum availability threshold in the product – at least twice a year, but more frequently when there is significant activity. With regard to the number of approvals and "wins" attributed to each contributor, it could be that some of these stats were lost when we migrated translations to Crowdin Enterprise. It could also be that our proofreaders haven't been giving credit where credit is due.
As someone who participates in the approval process for other languages, I confess that I wasn't aware of the attributions for winning suggestions. Now that you have brought this to our attention, we will try to be more mindful when approving translations in the future.
