This leads to duplication of effort, or lost work, when one saves over changes by the other. Change The position of other users in the table is shown with coloured borders. If another user is on the same row of the table, the username is shown as well.

Description Alex Eng 2012-05-23 05:55:35 UTC
Other translators that are in the same workspace should be indicated while editing.

Implemented indication of other translators that are in the same workspace.

- Translators name is shown at the top of editor with assigned random color.
- Indication of border color in the row where other translator is currently editing.
- Log feature in workspace user presenter on joined and leaved translators.

Cause

Two or more translators sometimes edit the same document.

Consequence

Sometimes they end up translating the same message of the document.  This leads to duplication of effort, or lost work, when one saves over changes by the other.

Change

The position of other users in the table is shown with coloured borders.  If another user is on the same row of the table, the username is shown as well.

Result

By observing the editing indicators, translators can easily avoid working on a row which another translator is already working on.
