Content Translation's product manager here :) Thanks for suggesting Content Translation (CX).

I always recommend doing this before translating: reading the whole source article and improving it as much as possible. בתאריך 12 בפבר׳ 2017 15:24, "Florence Devouard" <[email protected]> כתב: > I very much hope so. > > But right now... what we need is to review the articles so as to avoid > keeping obvious and stupid mistakes in the biographies before translation. > > And to make sure the English versions are ok, because I suspect most > people would be more likely to translate from English rather than other > language. > > Quality of articles vary A LOT.
