CX1: when translating from LTR to RTL language, adding an image does not by itself trigger a change event
Open, MediumPublic

Description

When translating from LTR to RTL, the text is not copied in any way. Clicking an image copies it, but leaves the caption empty. This has several effects:

  • If clicking an image is the first thing that the translator does, the Publish button stays gray.
  • The "Clear paragraph" button stays gray until editing the caption.
  • DONE: Publishing the page doesn't publish the image - not even with an empty caption.

All the points must be fixed, but the last one is the most important - it's confusing to see an image in the translation interface and not to see it in the published article. See also T108460 - suggesting users to type a caption, but that's a separate possible design idea and not a solution. The image must be visible in the published article in any case.

Checked in wmf.9 for both CX versions.
If MT option is selected - the images' captions are translated (en->he). 'Publish' button stays active for any amount/any type of translated content.

The issue exists only with CX version 1 and when 'Start with an empty paragraph' option is selected as default. The 'Publish' button is inactive.

In CX2, the option 'Start with an empty paragraph' will not transfer images into the target panel - that's it: the empty paragraph (space) is displayed. 'Publish' button is active and allows to publish an empty article.

The issue is limited only to CX version 1 'Start with an empty paragraph' option which is a bug, I've edited the title to provide a clear indication that it's a CX1 bug.

Since CX2 'Start with an empty paragraph' option handles images completely different, I filed T213033: CX2: 'Start with an empty paragraph' does not transfer images to target panel
