[Product-Developers] [Plone-i18n] side-by-side translation view in a working copy?

[Daniel Holth]

Here's my solution so far. I've added a side-by-side edit view called
translate_iter.cpt by adding a getOriginalCopy() for working copies of
I18NBaseObject. By appending /translate_iter instead of /edit to the URL,
the working copy is edited next to the canonical translation of its
original.

I may just add a new 'side-by-side' tab instead of trying to do my own /edit
override...

Does this look like something that could go into LinguaPlone?
