| ### Updating Resources | ||
| ### Updating resources | ||
|
|
||
| When the English version of a resource is substantively updated, we inform translators what has changed, and request that translators update their translation. If original translators do not respond before we need the update, we will invite others to update the translation. | ||
|
|
||
| In some cases, we will add the updated English to the translation while awaiting an update. If the changes are subtantial, the translation may be removed until an updated version is provided. | ||
