Difficulties on using sentences collection tools on importing big amount of sentences

• If I ask people to submit sentences directly to tools, we are non-able to review and discuss over them together. They are hard to fix the sentences that have something to improve. They cannot withdraw, batch edit, and re-submit.
• I can only click approve and reject. I cannot fix them. When I review the sentences with the text editor, when I saw anything bad, I can fix them directly. But it’s not able to do on collection tools. More than 50% of the draft sentences will drop into these cases in my previous experiences.

Editing sentences during review is in the pipeline, no idea when we will get to it though. There are also some edge cases we probably will need to discuss when the time comes. I wonder why 50% though, that seems waaay to high for me. Can you elaborate on what type of fixes needed these are?

If I submit the sentences after a pre-manual review, to make sure the sentences are good for the above problem, I will need to click a thousand times of “approve” for the sentences I had already checked. And after that, I need to ask other people to do the same thing in order for the sentences to be “approve” to get online. It’s triple efforts.

That’s the whole point of the review process. We don’t want one single person to decide whether the sentences should be included or not. Sure, the UX around that could be improved, but the principle will stay the same.
