Have you actually asked the contributor/user to stop submitting machine translated translations? 6. A nicely well worded email explain the situation I think would go a long way into resolving this. 7. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/e1ebdc8c85b7d6484f5ad4984c6dc2a20f329e5bcb41b7da78ad70612072b80f? s=32&d=mm&r=g) 8.

I’d try talk to them and explain why you think their contributions are not helpful. Maybe they just need a kind explanation to become helpful translator (as they seem to be very engaged already). 10. * ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/e1ebdc8c85b7d6484f5ad4984c6dc2a20f329e5bcb41b7da78ad70612072b80f? s=32&d=mm&r=g) * Anonymous User 6:55 am _on_ April 2, 2015 * … talk *to* them it should say.

So sorry about this, I know how frustrating it can be. Agree with Caspar though, let’s try to get a hold of them before blocking, might be worth trying to explain that this is not the way to go. 15. Happy to help with this, which contributor is that? 16. Kind regards, Petya 17. * ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/2a0a5aec302a76ee74859dcb650186d79ff76ff17ed82153bda2af506dff785b? s=32&d=mm&r=g) * [Eka Y Saputra](https://profiles.wordpress.org/ekajogja/) 10:52 am _on_ April 2, 2015 * Thanks Caspar and Petya 🙂 Unfortunately I don’t know how to contact him - > [https://profiles.wordpress.org/skylar08](https://profiles.wordpress.org/skylar08) 18. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/dad360d6d33cc359ccc77beb0de91ea2ac1c3ccaf28550b1e2727d5f6127ad00? s=32&d=mm&r=g) 19.
