Topic on Talk:Content translation/V2

I'm working on translation from English to Japanese. Since V1 I had a problem that the reuse reference style such as <ref name="name" /> disappears when I publish an article. Only the first defining refs survives. Actually English ref syntax and Japanese ref syntax are same so I'm fixing refs by copy & paste after the article is published, but this is too troublesome work. I saw the V2 solved some reference trouble so I tried it, then found that reuse refs just disappear before translating (when I touch the right field). Is there any way to reserve reuse refs?

Would recommend that you use firefox at this point.

Thanks for confirming the problem is solved, @McYata.

Please, keep using the new version of the tool and reporting any issue you may find!

We had the problem occur when the meta data for the ref occurred within a template or infobox. I had a tool build for EN WP that moves the reference metadata out of the infobox to solve that part of the issue. Does not look like it played a roll in your current problem though.
