Text translation

The "Text translation" section shows a consequent, sentence-by-sentence, translation, which makes a continuous proofreading possible. The drop-down menu "Languages" allows to select a translation in the relevant languages. Sentences which have not been translated yet are marked as "## no trans: de ##§" / "## no trans: en ##§" etc. A click on a sentence highlights the sentence in the "Sign text editor", in the "Transliteration" tabs, and in the "Sentence translation" input field. A typo or another problem observed in the continuous translation can be altered in the "Sentence translation" input field.
