What feature should be changed? Please provide the URL of the feature if possible. ================================================================================== The translation editor should allow translators to directly access the HTML source code of the original article for easy copy-pasting. What problems would this solve? =============================== When updating old translations, you also need to open the editor for the original article, because you need to access its HTML code. Why do we need its HTML code? Because we might need to copy paste the compatibility/specification tables (it is faster than starting from scratch). Or copy paste code examples without all the tags added by the code highlighter. The only way to do this now, is to have two opened pages, the translation interface + the editor of the original article. Who would use this? =================== Translators What would users see? ===================== Maybe something like "tabs" above the original content, first tab is the rendered article, second tab is the HTML source code of the article. What would users do? What would happen as a result? =================================================== Users could click on the second tab and freely copy-paste the original HTML source code inside the "source" of the translation. Is there anything else we should know? ======================================
