Thread:Translating talk:Page translation feature/Sections/reply (2)

This works if messages are actually autonomous, not if they're highly connected (currently, even sentences are split if they're on multiple lines, as in the example). Usually translators, at least on Meta, will translate a page completely, or they'll translate half each (or similar portions), and the next translator proofreads, and so on; this way, they have to make dozens of edits and to remember very carefully how they've translated the previous strings or they'll make all sorts of errors. The first time I saw (here) a page to be translated this way, in many pieces, I gave up.

I understand that this is the way how the extension detects that a particular portion of the page needs to be (re)translated, the progress/status of the translation and so on, right? But perhaps this could be disabled on a page by page basis (it's not always needed). Ideally, you would have the possibility to edit the page as a whole (or as if you were editing it as a whole) while retaining those features.
