Hello. No collaborated translation is permitted for the same article.  I would like to translate an article with a help of a friend. However, the article was locked from a single user, and no option for collaboration is offered in its translation. Currently, collaborated translation for the same article from more than one user is possible or not?

Sincerely,

Thanks for the feedback, @Estatistics.

Currently only one user can work on the translation of an article for the same language pair. This is a limitation of the tool, that we plan to improve (more details in this ticket). With the proposal multiple users may be able to start independent translations, but they still need to coordinate when publishing (e.g., publish as a personal draft to copy parts of the translation to the real article). We are not aiming for a real-time collaborative environment for now due to technical complexity.
