Content Translation provides two platform-specific editors that process contents differently: the desktop editor works with the full article and the mobile editor. The unified dashboard is able to direct users to the appropriate editor, and informs the user when continuing a translation that was started with a different editor (T351893).
However, currently the cross-device warning is shown even when the translation is started and continued on desktop.
Steps:
- Starting a translation on desktop with the new unified dashboard in Test Wiki for Karura forest
- Add some contents to the translation and return to the dashboard.
- Select the option to start a new translation and search for Karura forest.
- The tool provides the option to continue with the translation.
- After selecting the option to "continue" a warning dialog is shown explaining that the translation was started in a different device.
This is illustrated in this video (scaled down to adhere to Phab video size limits):
The expected behaviour would be:
- The warning not to show when continuing on desktop, a translation that was started also on desktop.
- Don't perform any splitting of the translation into sections when continuing the translation on desktop. I don't know if splitting is actually happening since I was not translating beyond the lead section, but we may want to double-check.
