Language Support on the BigAdmin - Side-by-Side Viewing
We have found that most of our users have some proficiency in English, though obviously still prefer to read the content in their native language.
Unfortunately translation is not a lossless process - something meaning is often skewed, or even lost. It is often useful to be able to refer back to the source.
For a while now, we have been cross-linking the various language versions of a page. Now however, we are enabling users to view the source and translated material in a side-by-side way [beta version].
We believe this will improve the usability of, and confidence in our translated content.
This feature is available from every translated page. It is currently called 'Compare Translations' - though that name will likely change.
