Suppose I did a translation and published. I continued translation some more. So that becomes a translation with 'draft' as status.
And later decided to delete it. As per the current implementation, the translation status changes to 'published' from 'draft' status.
Now if I change my mind and want to really resume my translation, I can do two things.
- Start a fresh translation for same translation languages and source title
- Or, from 'Published translations' tab in dashboard, 'continue translation'
In both of these cases, my old translation is restored. Which may make sense if my intention is to do some more additions to translations.
Some times, the source article may have changed significantly and you get a warning about it and old revision of source is loaded.And ask you to do a fresh translation if you wish. But that is not possible in this case.
To analyse:
- Whether the usecase of deleting and contining a 'once published' translaiton is common? If so what are the intentions of translator?
- Whether the translator prefer to have old translation restored or have fresh translation with latest version of source?
- If the translator want to start the translation from scratch, which is not possible right now, how do we want o give this feature?
