Hello, I would like to make a product suggestion. Non app-builders are often performing app translations. When they are making translations, the UX/UI (widget positioning) is often disturbed. Is it possible to create something like a “translation mode” where a user is able to click text widgets and edit translations but NOT move the widget positions? ---

Question here, is the widget positioning moving because someone is accidentally clicking and moving it or because the translation itself is causing the widget to reposition? ---

Hi Beth, the widget positioning is moving because of user clicks. We often have users who are not used to app building performing the translations. In this use case we have a global app that is used by sites all over the world! In order to deploy the app at different sites, we need to train someone who speaks the site language to perform the translations. This person may or may bot be a seasoned app builder. In the event that they are not a seasoned app builder, we typically find that the widget positioning has been shifted all over the place by the time the translation is completed. ---

Hi @Beth - any traction with this idea?
