• @devmuhib I am Translation Coordinator. I have a topic to discuss regarding content translation.
  Someone has translated several pieces of content, all of which seem to be directly copied and pasted from Google Translate. I have personally reviewed this content and can confirm that the translations are not good in quality and, at times, not readable. Despite multiple requests to modify the content and maintain a certain standard, the issues persist, and the content remains unreadable. What is the appropriate course of action for such translations?
• @jonathanbossenger brought up- our use of InstaWP to be discussed by the team.
• @SierraTR asked does the content creator move issue over to ready to publish after third review. or can the third reviewer do it.
