Hi mielnikov, Rest assured that your contributions do go to good use. However, we cannot easily automatically use these contributions, without being quite careful, as we must be careful to protect our system from spammers and/or malicious users who would seek to introduce bad translations.
In short, we do look carefully at the contributions sent, and they do help us improve our system, but it may be a slow process and any given contribution may not have immediate impact for quite some time.
