Yesterday I began a new translation and clicked "Save translation draft" but now I'm looking for it and I can't find it. Underneath my "in progress" tab, there's nothing there. Can anyone help cause I really don't want to start from scratch.

It's not in the in progress tab but in the drafts folder, which you can access in the drop down menu that appears when you hover with the mouse over your name in the upper right corner.
In progress is a different feature (a way of notifying requesters that their request was begun being translated).

It is a bug that has occured since the draft system implantation. If you did not give a title to your translation, then it does not appear in the draft category. And I do not think there is any way to recover your translation as a result.

No, that doesn't seem to be the issue.
But thanks for the heads up, I didn't encounter it so far. I think whenever I tried to save a draft without title it simply didn't let me.

But, I looked into our log now, and here's the draft: https://lyricstranslate.com/en/dive-tuffati-dentro.html

It was under 'Unpublished', it was published, just edit the translation and or leave a note in the Author's comment section saying it's a WIP.

It was supposed to be a draft, so it was intentional that it was unpublished (drafts are treated the same by the website as unpublished translations).

Oh, I have this problem too. Even though I have the draft saved, it still redirects me to the original song.

That sounds like a different problem to me. Could you give an example, please?

I cannot delete translations. As soon as I click on the button to do so, what occurs
is that I am redirected to my "Drafts"page instead. Drafts are also impossible
for me to delete at the moment. So I once posted a translation twice, as I'd forgotten,
and I contacted a moderator to delete another duplicate for me. 

That actually happened to me some time ago. I thought it had just been a one time thing, a little bug, but it turns out it's been happening to others as well.
Really hope it gets fixed soon, it can be pretty annoying.

I also just tried to delete a draft translation as it's been fulfilled in the meantime (I forgot about my work in progress, lol), but it still remains in the list and I can see it when I click on it.

This bug with translations deletion has been fixed.

Yes, I can delete drafts now, but why the redirect to the site's main page and not to the drafts? I mean after the deletion of a draft.

Unpublished entries and drafts are treated the same by this website.
Normal users can only see their own drafts/unpublished entries.

Btw, you added that comment twice; I've unpublished one copy of it.
