I captured some concepts on how to support the translation of an article in this video.
In a recent conversation a user with experience using the current Content Translation on a mobile device shared these thoughts:
Although translating on mobile isn't as convenient or interesting as doing on a computer, but sometimes you just need to, because for an editor like me who don't own a computer or have access to them might find it difficult to say must have got a computer before doing something that's needed from him. But by the way I've seen some of the translations that's done using the tool, its really accurate and the only thing needed is to do some proofread and copyedits after. Thank you so much for the reply, I even thought it was a problem my mobile has.
