Topic on Talk:Content translation

When translating a paragraph, if the translation starts being a bit too longer compared with the original text, the whole tool messes up and mixes and deletes words, so I get a completely disturbance that cannot be solved. Then, either I delete the paragraph and start again (which happens again if I elaborate a nice translation), or delete that part from the article, or save the changes and then modify the rest of the article directly in the final wiki.

.Using Safari (translating from English to Catalan).

Note, sometimes paragraphs are not displayed correctly. This often solves when the article is published. Do not delete the translation, to publish again.

Thanks for noting, @Hans Haase! Hope it can be fixed in the future, though :)

Thanks for the feedback, @Xavier Dengra.

Can you confirm whether the issue is happening in the new version of the tool? Version 2 uses the same editing surface which is more reliable for editing complex content compared to the default browser editing surface (that version 1 used).

If you can share more details about the article that was problematic we can take a look and investigate further.

Thanks!

Thanks for the ping, @Pginer-WMF. It was the updated version, indeed. I was translating the article Randi Griffin from en.wiki to ca.wiki. During the process I had quite a lot of issues: as I said, mainly random movements between words in the text that became illegible (so I needed to redo the paragraphs to understand myself). As a consequence and after it happened in 3 different paragraphs, I cut short the translation by publishing and polishing the article in ca.wiki. You can see in the history of the article that the initial published result in ca.wiki was too messy and complex to tackle for a beginner, which I think it's an indicator of the emergency to solve it.
