Serious Bug: Automatic Translation Translates Keys
While translating the android strings.xml file and choosing automatic translation, the system translates the Keys, NOT the values. Why on earth would anyone want to translate the XML leys?

Thanks for the feedback. We will change the behavior of the Automatic Translation feature, to have by default selected as source the texts in the Default Reference Language, when one is set on the project.

I just found this too.
Having uploaded a standard Android xml resource file, I'd expect it to understand that format and "do the right thing". Translating keys obviously is not the right thing and users should not be expected to understand the nuances of 'Project Terms' whatever they are.

To avoid having the keys translated, please select as Source for Automatic Translation anything but the Project Terms.
