Background of the issue:
Our website currently has 6 languages, and we will be adding 6 more languages. We initially used automatic translation for the first 6 languages, but later made various corrections and adjustments. We will use automatic translation for the new 6 languages as well.

Symptoms:
Concern about whether previously corrected translations will be affected by automatic translation when adding new languages.

Questions:
Do previously corrected translations get affected by automatic translation?
Will using automatic translation for the new 6 languages disrupt the previously translated 6 languages?

Hi,

I answered this question in the chat. You probably missed it. Here is my answer again.

The answer to your question is no. Previously automatically translated languages should not be affected by the new automatic translation for the new languages you are going to add.

Please let me know if you have any further questions.

Regards,
Itamar.
