Translations reach the repository through review, not directly. A finished translation becomes a review request; an approved review request becomes a pull request; merging that pull request puts the translation live. This is why the role a person holds matters: Translators can create review requests but not pull requests.

Review requests

Once a file has been translated, Create Review Request appears at the top of the editor. Creating one notifies the team and opens a discussion on the change.
Creating a review request
Feedback appears under the Conversation tab in the Review Requests section. Language Moderators and Admins can edit a translation while it is awaiting review.

Pull requests

When a moderator approves the work, they open a pull request against the repository. Each contributor’s work is preserved as their own commit, so authorship survives the round trip.
The pull request created from a review request
The pull request is an ordinary GitHub pull request, reviewed and merged like any other. The translation goes live when it is merged — GitLocalize does not merge it for you.
Only Language Moderators and Admins can open pull requests, and a Language Moderator only for the language they moderate.
