Topic on Talk:Content translation/Flow

I have a suggestion to make: I'd like you guys to keep one thing from the old version of CT. So, when you click in a link, that link will appear on the right panel in both of the languages. In the old version, I can copy the link's text in my language and paste it to my translation (because I don't trust Yandex, I use the "keep the original version" and go on translating them right in the lines). But when I come to the new version, everything is good except, I cannot copy the link's text. So I have to either type them again or go directly to the article and copy its name, both of which are so time-consuming and troublesome.

If you can somehow fix it, it'd be great. Thanks.

Thanks for trying the new version and providing feedback, @Bluetpp.

This is a known limitation we are planning to fix. For the new version we are using the editing surface that Visual Editor provides. This results in a more solid editing experience, but currently it provides either read only or editable modes. For the source translation we would need a mode that would be inspectable while still non-editable, which is not trivial to support but we are investigating the best way to support it.

You can check more details in this ticket, where I added your comment as a reference to capture the context of use you provided, which is really useful. Feel free to add more details or track the progress of the task.

Thanks!
