Translation progress overview

1. Access a clear overview of translation progress for each product directly from the product details page.
2. Navigate to the 'Edit Product Details' page of any listed product
3. Visual progress bars indicate the completion status of translations in each active language, helping you quickly assess what needs attention.

Editing translations

1. Click on a specific language to access the detailed translation view.
2. Fields will be displayed side by side in the default language and the selected translation language. This allows for easy comparison and editing.
