"Waiting for a review" beside Welcome words means a person is checking your account's welcome words before they are added; the Free plan's own words work in the meantime.
Who this is for
The Owners and Billing members of an account on Free whose Plan & billing shows Welcome words as Waiting for a review, or whose dashboard shows Welcome words in review.
What happens next
Welcome words are given once per person. Some grants are held for a person to review before they are added. While the review is open:
Plan & billing reads "Waiting for a review. Translation within the Free plan works now."
The account's Owners are emailed "Welcome words are waiting for a review".
Translation works within the Free plan's words a cycle.
When the review ends, the Owners are emailed again: either "Welcome words were added to {account}", and the words appear under Welcome words, or "Welcome words will not be added to {account}", and the account carries on with Free's words. You do not need to do anything to start or finish the review.
A different wait: the phone check. When Plan & billing shows {phone} more welcome words with "Confirm a mobile number once to add them to this account. Each number works once.", the rest of the welcome words wait for a phone check, not for a review. An Owner selects Confirm a mobile number and enters the code sent by text message.
No welcome words at all. When Welcome words reads Not available on this account with "This email address or sign-in has already received a welcome grant.", the person already received welcome words with another account, so this account has Free's words alone.
If it doesn't work
If the review is taking long, email support and name the account.
