Currently in the Unified Dashboard on desktop, continuing an in-progress section translation shows the "New Translation" option that only makes sense when starting new articles.
This ticket proposes to adjust the Confirm step so that:
- The "New translation" option does not show when translating a section with a section pre-selected.
- The "New translation" is still shown when selecting an article to expand with a new section, but no section has been pre-selected.
- The support to start a new article will remain as it is: the "New translation" options is not shown.
Note that the above applies to all the different entry points that lead to the confirmation step: start a new section translation, continuing an existing one, reaching the step through the url, etc.
Below, you can see a comparison of the current and propose stated. Notice the differences in the actions shown for each case:
Current status:
| New article | Expand with sections | New pre-selected section | Continuing a section translation |
|---|---|---|---|
 |  |  |  |
Proposal:
| New article (remains the same) | Expand with sections (remains the same) | New pre-selected section | Continuing a section translation |
|---|---|---|---|
| |  |  |
Note that the proposal only affects the cases where a particular section is already selected. In such case the relevant options are to translate it (with action to start or continuing it, depending on the case) or selecting a different section to translate. In this case, the option to start a new translation for the whole article is not relevant and we can remove it.

Steps:
- Start a translation for a section, add some text and return to dashboard.
- Continue the translation,
- Observe the "New translation" button in the Confirm step.
