As translation editor permissions aren’t global, there’s a constant need to add new people as translation editors for specific projects so they can commit translation branches. Currently the “Request to join project” dialog only allows the request for Reviewer, Terminology Reviewer and Translator pe…

Yes I promised, didn’t I :innocent:. It is part of the next release (1.20.0) - in the way you suggested with instance-wide ‘translation administrators’ per language.

This is so very much needed, thanks!

A related issue is the fragmentation of responsibility that happens when translation editors, editors, and in the future translation administrators, get the notification about translations which require committing. Currently all accounts assigned any of these roles get this notification, and I think…

[image] siljelb: Is there a way to make these notifications more targeted, or any other way to mitigate the fragmentation of responsibility? The following was my attempt to make it more targeted, depending on assigned roles: [image] sebastian.garde: More precisely, the logic to determine…
