Description

This is the fundamental issue at the heart of the Translate extension, which blocks it being nicely editable in VE, breaks section edit links or force you to make translators 'translate' wikitext syntax, and many other issues. It's mostly akin to "tear down the Translate extension and start again", though. :-(
