Can I reuse a translation unit multiple times on the same page?

Hello! On the same page, there are 4 times the same sentence. Can I reuse the same translation unit, or do the translators have to translate the same sentence 4 times?

For future reference, someone had the same question 7 years ago, but maybe the devs created some kind of unit variable like <ref> that can be reused in the same page (example : <unit name=1$ />?

Thank you.

This is not currently a supported feature. There are some templates here and/or meta.wikimedia.org that allow referencing other translation units. Don't remember the exact names right now.

On Meta it's m:Template:Tunit. Don't know about any similar templates on MediaWiki.org.

Technically no problem, practically big problem, because in another languege may be identically TU tranlated in other sense, by context. I use templates with combination a contents of the translated pages very much. See for example page 1A and try change language of the interface to 'polski'. It's not finished page for now. It's only example, how can be generated content from translated pages by Template:svitek
