There have been several requests about getting HotCat with Content Translation. One is [[ https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Topic:T36frr6tzcmyaplz&topic_showPostId=t439anvul9tkdc50#flow-post-t439anvul9tkdc50 | here ]] and I recall there was one during one of our video sessions.

Considering this integrates an external tool we may want to make sure that: - CX won't break if HotCat is not available or when errors happen in the process of getting the suggestions. - The time delay does not produce options displayed to jump (which may cause click errors). Preloading the data, a time threshold to show all suggestions at once, or adding new ones to the bottom can be some options to avoid these issues. - Duplicate options are not shown.
