evgenyM	I'm currently using WPML's Translation Editor for managing translations on my website. While working on translation tasks, I noticed that there doesn't seem to be an option for translators to preview their translations in context before finalizing them. Having a preview function would be invaluable for our translation process. I've attached a screenshot of the Translation Editor interface for your reference. As you can see, there's no visible option for a preview. Is there a built-in preview function that I might be missing? If not, is there a way to enable or add this feature? It would be of great assistance to our translators to see how their translations will appear on the live site before they complete the task. Thank you for your guidance and assistance on this matter.

Regrettably, previewing translations in the Classic Translation Editor is not possible. Your best course of action would be to complete the translation and view it directly on the frontend. If you want to prevent the translated post from being publicly accessible, you can set the primary language page as drafts, which will result in your translated post also being in draft status after translation. Additionally, if you are using the "Advanced Translation Editor," you can review your translations following the instructions outlined here: https://wpml.org/documentation/automatic-translation/how-to-review-automatic-translations-on-your-site/. You may also want to consider switching to "Automatic Translation" as an alternative option. Thank you for your understanding.
