When the original page of the translation is edited, an error message usually appears stating that the translation is based on an old version along with an option (a button) to start the translation from the beginning. However, there have been at least two cases where that button has not been appearing (the error message it self does appear, but without said button). relevant discussions on Talk:Content translation: - [[ https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Topic:Vle2pg7a64jn2uj1 | How do I restart a tranlation from the beginning? ]] - [[ https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Topic:Vlnutsq4a83d09vz | Two serious major problems ]]

When a person tries to translate an article already translated by him/her, the old translation shows up. This is perfectly normal and is not a bug in itself. However, there have been at least two cases where the error message stating that the translation is based on an old version (which normally appears) does not appear properly. In one, the button to start the translation from the beginning does not appear, while in the other, the whole error message appear. As far as I am aware of, pressing that button is the only way to translate an already published translation all over again (based on a newer edition). note: another way to restart a translation could be a valid alternative (at least for me and one fellow translator) relevant discussions on Talk:Content translation: - [[ https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Topic:Vle2pg7a64jn2uj1 | How do I restart a tranlation from the beginning? ]] - [[ https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Topic:Vlnutsq4a83d09vz | Two serious major problems ]] pages with problem - [[ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Midlands_Trains | West Midlands Trains ]] English to Japanese - [[ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Face_masks_during_the_COVID-19_pandemic | Face masks during the COVID-19 pandemic ]] English to French
