Allow translation of whole articles

[db0]

Some volunteer translators have informed me that it would be more easy for them to be able to translate the article on a local text file and then simply replace the whole thing in one go. Is this something we can enable?

A method could be to allow someone to click on a second checkbox, once they've clicked on the "edit" one, which would be something like "Translate whole article". This would then open a textbox, where the translated content could be pasted.

This functionality should also be limited via access rights, so that perhaps only registered users will be able to do full translations (to avoid vandalism mostly)

If this is not an option, a way to be able to translate whole paragraphs would be a second best alternative. This could possibly be done by implementing this feature

This would be a very valuable feature!

I've made the experience that transposh breaks sentences and paragraphs in akward places, which makes translation very difficult.

More often then not, a translator needs the second half of a sentence first, due to the different structure of sentences in e.g. french and german...

Not to mention that some words have different meaning in different context. But transposh remembers the first translation and uses it everywhere.

@mausf I think you are able to do that with shortcodes, although not as well...
