So based on notes from Niklas on the bug, it looks like there are two main problems:
1) VE treats <translate>...</translate> chunks as uneditable extension blobs. 2) Some/many pages use <translate>...</translate> incorrectly: spanning paragraphs, markup level boundaries, etc. So problem 1) can be improved in two ways: 1a) Have VE treat <translate>...</translate> as more or less like plaintext or a div or something 1b) Much fancier sub-document editing Fixing problem 2) means refactoring broken pages in ways that presumably would require at least some of their translations to be re-created. I don't know whether 2) is caused by problems in the translation interface, or by people further editing the pages without a detailed understanding of how the <translate> and <!--T:123--> markup bits work, or a combination of both. -- brion On Fri, Apr 1, 2016 at 7:39 PM, Brion Vibber <bvib...@wikimedia.org> wrote: > On Fri, Apr 1, 2016 at 7:35 PM, C.
