Switching between "translator" and "reviewer" modes

If you're making translations for a project that uses a Structured or Restricted permissions policy and you're a member of the appropriate translation team you can work in one of two modes:

Reviewer:

This is the default working mode. All changes you make are approved automatically. If you want to make a suggestion, rather than a new translation, you need to manually select the Someone should to review this translation check-box.

Translator:

When entering new translations, they're treated as suggestions that someone else needs to review. You can make a direct translation by deselecting the Someone should to review this translation check-box.

How this affects team workflows

When you're reviewing translations made by other people, or you're working in a small team, you usually want your translations to be applied automatically. This is when you'd choose Reviewer mode.

However, if you're working in a team that uses a peer review process Translator mode will be more suitable as it holds each of your translations as suggestions that should be reviewed by someone else.
