adamS-66	Background of the issue: I am working on a site, hidden link, where we have two translators, one for Thai and one for Japanese. They will be working concurrently on the same page. Symptoms: Our Japanese translator is concerned about editing the Japanese translation while the Thai translator is working on the Thai translation, specifically when the 'Translation in progress' pop-up appears. Questions: Can two translators work on different language translations of the same page at the same time? Is it possible for the Japanese translator to click 'I understand - continue editing' when the 'Translation in progress' pop-up appears?

If both were trying to translate the thai content, then no, that wouldn't be possible, but it's totally possible to translate at the same time 2 different languages of the same page. there are no issues there so you rest easy and let them know it's possible. Regards.
