Description

Currently, you can only translate articles unit by unit with the Translate add-on. This is useful but not optimal. Sometimes you you would like to know what the finished text will look like once the text is translated. As it is now, translating in wikitext is similar to that you have to constantly preview your changes by going the translated page (which can sometimes take time to overwrite changes) and then finding where on the page the text to be translated is located. This is not always easy or very convenient.

I would like to be able to translate articles visually with the Translate extension, similar to how you can edit articles visually with VisualEditor.
