1) 'Group words' button for the translated text
A solution for the first feature could be click a button ('Group
words' button)in the page (so I can turn on the Grouping feature) that
would allow to select several of the yellow-highlighted groups, then
click again in the 'Group words' button, unmark it, so I can go back
to the new group click on the new highlighted text and give it a new
translation.
2) Swapping words in the translated text. Maybe a 'Swap words' button
that would allow me to do it, in similar fashion as the commented
above button works.
Coming back to Google Translate I have realised that the 2nd feature
could be easily achieved via Drag and Drop, so I can move then as if
they were Chrome browser tabs.
Thanks,
Alex
