Title:

Is there a way to mark old translations as still accurate?

Text:

I’ve run into this problem a bunch of times. I’m updating a translation and there was only a change in punctuation, orthography, or something else minor that doesn’t affect the translation. Then the system won’t accept it as a completed translation until I change something about an already fine translation. It also won’t accept changing something and then changing it back as it’s smart enough to notice that that’s just reverting to an earlier revision. It’s especially annoying for titles that don’t leave a lot of choice for variation without making it weird. Am I missing an option to mark such translations as completed or is there really no way other than changing the translation?
