A world in ten languages was living a life of its own: on every Naruto technique page across nine locales the same stray video kept playing, and the menu labels had slipped — "Rules" was captioned "Clans", "Roleplay" was captioned "World". We traced the cause: a translation stored a copy of the whole page and was addressed by block number. Now it stores only the texts, and it is bound to the block itself.
Re-layouts get through — the original dictates the structure: change the layout and it changes everywhere, not only in the source language
Labels stay put — blocks and menu items are addressed by their own id, so reordering no longer drops a translation onto its neighbour
Media does not vanish — images, videos and links come from the original; the translation supplies text and nothing else
Articles can be edited — inserting a paragraph in the middle no longer wipes the translated body wholesale
Manual stays manual — an AI translation from the admin panel no longer passes itself off as a human edit and cuts the locale off from future updates
A provider outage does not punish — an expired subscription or a rate limit no longer sends hundreds of fields into a day-long standstill
Plus the small things you notice right away: links from the page builder and the menu now lead to the language of the page rather than to your own, and the article feed in Japanese no longer shows Russian cards.
