I've started using Extension:ProofreadPage to structure the transcription of a body of German and Italian manuscripts from the 14th to 17th centuries, and the project also includes translating these manuscripts to English. I initially tried to use the Translate extension to structure this process, but it only accepts text in the same language as the core wiki (so no translating *to* English). So I'd love to see a feature implemented in which a validated Page can then be translated to English (or whatever the core language is), possibly by moving the validated transcription into the right-side div and having the input box on the left side accept the translation. This should probably also have two-user verification like transcription does. I don't need paragraph separation or translator API support or anything else that Extension:Translate offers, just a way to enter and store a translation with the transcription for each page. A feature like this would not only be useful to me, but would also benefit Wikisource I'm sure. Thanks.
