Background of the issue:
I want to start automatically translating my product pages using the Advanced Translation Editor. Currently, my website is set to use the Classic Translation Editor. I already have many products translated.

Symptoms:
Not applicable.

Questions:
Is it safe to switch from the Classic Translation Editor to the Advanced Translation Editor without losing my existing translations?
Is it possible by default, or do I need to take extra steps to preserve my existing translations?
