I do not know which criteria uses the extension to choose one or another account but when a translation notification is issued (at Meta, via the notifytranslators special page) some (most of them) are delivered by the personal account of the translation administrator who issued the command https://meta.wikimedia.org?diff=prev&oldid=5043916 while others are notified via the ad hoc account https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Translation_Notification_Bot.
- Notifications should be always sent by the TNBot no matter the project.
- Edits on user talk pages by TNBot should not be marked as "minor" so it is possible for the projects to flag the account as bot, to avoid flooding/cluttering of recentchanges (which already happens now at Meta, each time a translation notification is issued, recentchanges becomes unusable) & possibilitating at the same time that the user receives the orange bar "you have new messages" (since only bots have the 'nominornewtalk' right).
Thanks.
