As a translator, while proofreading, I want to quickly compare translations to relevant suggestions from the local translation memory in order to improve consistency. (This was "Self-suggestions from TM in review recent changes" in [[Issues and features]].) The option is currently provided only in translate mode, while proofreading allows only to see the source text alongside the translation; I don't know if TM suggestions should be in addition to or instead of the source text.
Possibly incorrectly interpreted description. "Self-suggestions" was most probably meant as "if there is a pre-existing translation for a key, the TM makes a suggestion that is the same as the current translation, while that should have been filtered out." Is that possible? Btw, this is still happening.
Yes, I thought of that interpretation too (which is why I wrote "relevant suggestions"), but I was unsure about how it could be avoided. Such suggestions are not wrong, just not much useful (they only say that there's no inconsistency with other messages).
They are wrong. Editing the translation of A and seeing the translation from A as a suggestion is misleading. It should be filtered out.
