you're good man, basically the guy that made the discord threw a fit because people were asking for links and stuff our whatever to the point that he literally left the site, he also made it clear that it's for people who are working on translations only. and that you're "not worthy for the link and will be gatekept unless you super sleuth and find access yourself" that's why no one will give you the link.
Oh wait, what? Are you sure? I might go dig up the link just to see then. Translation people are, off the top of my head, Icevail, Delexcius, Xinchi, among others. I can't imagine any of those people acting this way
EDIT: Ah. It's starting to come back to me now. I think you've messed up what was said by 2 different people. Contact
Delexicus if you are looking to contribute to translation - new people who are willing to dedicate their time and effort to help out are always appreciated.
There was a different user who used to do APK conversion stuff - but because people were constantly harassing and begging him for APKs and troubleshooting misc., it really took a toll on his mental health and he eventually deleted his account and left the forums entirely (last I checked). At one point in time, said individual said something along the lines of "if you want links from me find me on discord" - though that was more like "stop harassing me for links" to my understanding, and more that they wanted to get away from people constantly harassing them for APK - where oftentimes, super easy problems to solve which didn't require much effort were being tossed their way and people were blaming/flaming them for now reason.
So, currently the translator discord (to my knowledge) is yes for translation, but has never been purposefully gate-kept other than for the reason of preventing people from clogging channels with "where is link" and the like. For sure reach out to Delexicus if you'd like help with translation tools and how to contribute to translation stuff.
