Compare

I added new functionality to the service. Now you can compare the translations of phrases between the projects. Right now, the only way to see the comparison table is to enter an appropriate URL (or use the API). Here is an example URL: If you follow it, you will see the table with suggestions grouped by the projects, so that you can see the differences between their translations.

Do you have any idea, how I could put in on the page? Any suggestions for improvements?

Nice feature! That should be useful not only for inter-project comparison, but also to see intra-project homogeneity (or lack of it).

The current page needs an improvement: entering a word and pressing "translate" should probably bring yet another "compare" page, not a "suggest" one.

Be prepared to deal with width issues. Long translations or the addition of more projects can make the result page highly unusable.

I like this new feature too! It is much more readable for users and should be available as default, instead of "suggest", I agree with leonardo.

I also have noticed there can be width issues.

And by the way, I made a little change in the extension to take advantage of the "compare" display.
