Alternative MT selection: start with an empty sentence needs adjustment
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

As part of the "Pick a sentence" step (T251551) of the Section Translation mobile editor, an option to select alternative MT options is provided.

In the current implementation, the option to start with an empty sentence needs adjustment. In the current implementation a text area was added. In the spec it was intended as a blank card with a visual element to represent the input cursor.

After https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/640124, When you click that blinking cursor card, you go back to sentence selector and there is no Edit translation button.

The intention here is, allow the translator to use VE to write the translation from scratch. But we are not giving editor option.
