Cloning this from bug 33461.
When the Translate extension edits on behalf of another user, its edits aren't being marked with the bot flag.
This was initially filed as a bug against the Translate extension, but that bug (bug 33461) was re-purposed, so I'm cloning that bug to this bug.
Looking at the Translate extension, it seems like this should be a simple fix to utils/TranslationEditPage.php. Marking this bug "easy" accordingly.
Version: unspecified
Severity: normal
From bug 33461, it seems you filed this bug under the assumption that the WebAPI should be used instead? AFAIK that's not going to happen.

From bug 33461, it seems you filed this bug under the assumption that the
WebAPI should be used instead? AFAIK that's not going to happen.
Why?
It is using the web API, albeit in a somewhat unusual way (via a form element). See https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/gitweb?p=mediawiki/extensions/Translate.git;a=blob;f=utils/TranslationEditPage.php;h=7b10e32150650b34dc22a40e206a86c83b3c4e14;hb=HEAD#l181 .
api.php is the WebAPI, so I'm closing as a duplicate.
