Background of the issue:
I'm considering switching from the classic to the advanced translation editor on my site hidden link.

Symptoms:
Concern about potential site slowdown and loss of translations when switching editors.

Questions:
Will my site get slower because the advanced translation editor might use more resources?
Can translations get lost while switching?
What are common errors that occur when switching?

One of my colleagues will take on your ticket. In the meantime, I would like to provide some helpful information.

Using the Classic Translation Editor on your site, you can switch to the Advanced Translation Editor for new translations. You can keep existing translations in the Classic Translation Editor or move them to the Advanced Translation Editor.

Switching existing translations to the Advanced Translation Editor will appear fine on the front end. But, to make them appear or update them in the Advanced Translation Editor, you'll need to retranslate your content by either using automatic translation or copy-pasting the existing translations.

There is no potential risk that your site will become slow if you switch the translation editors.
