Topic on Talk:Content translation

Hello, I've been translating https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pontiac_G6 into my language (Czech). Everything worked nicely, however after almost being finished and ready to publish, some parts of the page stuck and I couldn't write into them, delete them or edit them at all. So I've decided to close the page and load it up again, however, after doing that, the right half of the page where my translations are is in some kind of grey box and I can't do anything - write, edit, delete, not even publish and then fix it. I really don't want to lose the translations I made (I can't copy the text.). Is there any solution to this issue?

I am using Chrome.

Hello, I strongly recommend screenshoting your translations. In worst case, you can re-write them from screenshot and you don't need to translate them again. Unfortunately, I don't know any solution. You might try to press F12 and copy translations from HTML, but I'm not sure if will be easy to find.

Thanks, screenshoting is a good idea, it seems I'll have to rewrite the translation using them. However, as of right now, I can't pretty much complete the translation, because even if I delete the whole page and then try and start a completely new translation, it loads up this stuck translation again.

Well, I finally somehow solved the problem by just pretty much spamming the publish button, after I've tried to publish it for quite some time without success it finally let me (interestingly without changing anything) - I then edited the rest of the page after it was published.

Thanks for the help!
