Q: How do I know my suggestion has been approved/declined?.

In a few days or weeks you surely won't encounter any suggestion limit anymore. In the beginning this might be an obstacle, but as you have to get used to Steam Translation, we have to get used to any new applicants, too. Please be patient: Once 25 of your translations are accepted you will get bumped up to 125 suggestions, once you gather 125 you will receive 250 suggestions (and so on 500, 1000.).

Q: Why do I only have 25 (125, 250, 500.) suggestions? I'm out of suggestions?.

Once your initial application is accepted, you will always be welcome back to contribute, without the need to apply again. Will I be removed, if I don't do anything?
